The new superstructure for the "Agile" corvette project 20385, which suffered as a result of the fire, will be manufactured at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard. This was stated by the Director General of SNSZ Vladimir Seredokho.
Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard has received an order for the manufacture and supply of a new superstructure for the project 20385 Nimble corvette, which is being built by the Severnaya Verf Shipyard. According to SNSZ plans, the superstructure will be delivered to the customer this year.
- TASS quotes the words of Seredokho.
The corvette "Agile" was damaged during a fire that broke out on the ship on December 17 last year. As a result of the incident, the superstructure of the ship was completely destroyed, the hull was not damaged. Later it was reported that the ship will be restored by 2026, but this is preliminary information that was heard even before the full assessment of the damage. By the way, there were no official statements about the timing of restoration work on the "Agile".
The "Agile" corvette of project 20385 is the second in the series and the first serial after the lead ship "Gremyashchy", which joined the Pacific Fleet last year and has already made the transition to the Far East. The Agile was laid down in 2013 at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg, the technical launch took place in 2019, and it was planned to transfer it to the Russian fleet at the end of 2022. Now the deadlines will be shifted to the right, by how much - the final damage calculation will show.
