One of the directions of development of the Russian Navy is to increase amphibious capabilities through the construction of new ships designed for landing troops. They belong to project 11711. At the same time, the Nevsky Design Bureau, which developed it, proposes to build new large amphibious assault ships in the modified Cayman modification.

As indicated in the Western press, unlike the Soviet BDK, the 11711 project is already very similar to NATO analogues – ships of the LPD type (landing platform dock). "Cayman" brings the Russian approach to BDK even closer to the Western one.

The new version of the Cayman, introduced in August this year, has a larger and taller superstructure, on which a dimensional mast is located to accommodate various sensors, mainly a powerful radar.

This indicates an improvement in anti-aircraft protection and the capabilities of the BDK to defeat surface targets

- it says in the press.

As explained, the main focus is on countering unmanned boats due to the higher placement in the bow of the AK-630M2 artillery installation with six-barreled guns cal. 30x165 mm, capable of producing 10 thousand rounds per minute.

The length of the Cayman is 150 m, displacement is about 8 thousand tons, the crew includes 120 people. The maximum speed reaches 18 knots. A large flight deck is located in the aft part, from which two medium-duty helicopters can take off simultaneously or UAVs can be launched. A large hangar located in the superstructure is provided for aircraft. There are places for boats in the hull.
