This storefront will be able to suit all of your naval ship needs (excluding submarines). All ships seen here are made by LRR Lunkwill & Fook shipyards, and are or are based on designs in use by the soviet/russian navy. This is an earth-tech storefront, but custom futuretech conversions can be carried out for a small fee. Orders that are beyond the capacity of our shipyards will be cut down to acceptable levels. Due to the size of the ships sold here, expect delivery of cruisers and carriers 3-4 RL days after purchase.
Note: Much of the information in the descriptions of the ships are given in ranges because of lack of OCC information about the ships. (The website I get the pics from is in russian with no language selection.) If you have any corrections, they would be most welcome.
Most ships sold here are downgaded versions of LRR designs. All gas powered ships are equipped with emissions filters, which cut down the levels of greenhouse gases produced by the ships. They also eliminate engine smoke trails and lessen the vessel's thermal signature.
Falcon Class Antisub Ships
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Anti_Submarine_Ships/1145_1.jpg
The Falcon class are excellent antisubmarine ships. They incorperate hydrofoil technology, allowing the Falcon class a maximum speed of over 40 knots, and, when at hydrofoil speeds, near-impervious to conventional torpedos. They are excellent coastal patrol vessels- much cheaper than frigates but just as disruptive to enemy subs. The LRR version is powered by two hydrogen fuel cells, each driving a single propeller (the LRR version is known as the Falcon 2), but the regular production version has a pair of diesiel turbines, each driving a single screw.
In terms of armerment, the Falcon class is no shortcomer. Each mounts two Ak-306 multibarrel cannons for point defense against missiles, as well as a full compliment of chaff and flare clusters. Jamming equipment is also available. In place of the foreward Ak-306, an Ak-176 rapid-fire 76mm cannon can be installed. The Falcon class can carry eight torpedos of Mk. 48 size and shape, and a further 8 ready to re-load the empty launchers. The Falcon class can either be equipped with high-grade acoustics, capable of detecting even the quietest subs if conditions are right, or more pedestrian but cheaper acoustics.
Length: 49.9 meters
Width: 9.9 meters
Standard Crew Compliment: 39
Displacement (stationary): 468 tons
Cost: 12 Million USD
Albatross Class Antisubmarine Ship
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Anti_Submarine_Ships/1124-2.jpg
The Albatross class is a more purpose-built antisubmarine/patrol platform. While not used by LRR in substantial numbers, they are still producable by LRR shipyards. They are powered by gas turbines, and unrefuelled range at a 21 knot cruising speed is 950 nautical miles. Maximum speed is around 32 knots chase speed. As with the Falcon, they can either be equipped with high or average grade acoustics.
In terms of armerment, the Albatross is also no pushover. 20 dumbfire rockets are mounted in foreward launchers, and the Albatross carries a single Ak-630 point defense cannon and chaff and flare launchers. In terms of antisub weaponry, the Albatross carries depth charges, as well as Mk. 48 sized torpedos. An AK-176 cannon is mounted towards the stern.
Length: 71.2 meters
Width: 10.15 meters
Displacement: 876-930 tons
Cost: 22 million USD
Aspsazhirov Class Cutter
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Coastal_Guard/745-Amur.jpg
Good for coast gaurd duty, the Aspsazhirov class cutters are very rugged, simple designs. Armed with two Ak-205 point defense cannons, they are able to defend themselves. They are capable of icebreaker duty, with their heavy bowl-shaped hull, and can reach speeds of up to 20 knots. They are excellent for submarine rescue, and can carry one DSRV-sized vehicle. A helipad capable of accomodating lynx size helicopters can be built on the back of the vessel.
Cost: 6 Million USD
Krivak class ASW Frigates
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/krivak1-DNST8808669.JPG
The first of the 'Krivak' anti-submarine ships appeared in 1970. They were faster and more heavily armed than their Weastern counterparts, with four large SSN-14 Silex missiles. The huge quadruple SSN-14 launcher dominates the forward end of these ships. Twenty one ships were built before the forst of the 11 improved 'Krivak IIs' appeared in 1976. This version had new guns and a larger variable depth sonar. The 'Krivak III' which entered service in the mid-1980s, dropped the Silex launcher for a sinlge gun turret and incorporated a hanger and flight deck instead of the stern gun turrets.
Sources all agree that the Krivak I series consisted of 19 units with the first unit being completed in 1970, though there is a diversity of views as to whether the final unit was completed in 1980 or 1982. And while there is agreement on the names of these units, there is rather profound diversity of opinion on the construction chronology [to the extent that some sources suggest that the Poryvisty was one of the earlier ships, completed in 1974, while others contend that is was the last ship, completed in 1982].
At least two and possibly three Krivak-I frigates were modernized between 1987 and 1994. Known in the West as MOD Krivak, different sources suggest that the Soviet designation was either Project #1135.2 Mod or Project #1135.6 [the former seems perhaps more likely]. This modification featured a new surface-to-surface missile in place of old ASW rocket launcher, along with improved electronics and sonars. Though possibly planned for all Krivak-I units, further implementation of this scheme apparently foundered on financial shoals.
The Project #1135M Krivak II mainly differs from the initial version in having a different caliber gun. Sources all agree that the Krivak II series consisted of 11 units, all constructed at Shipyard 820 and completed between 1975 and 1982. And while there is agreement on the names of these units, there is considerable diversity of opinion on the construction chronology. It is generally agreed by most sources that as of 1999 at least four further units had been discarded, while some sources suggest that three additional units had also been discarded. All sources agree that at least one unit transfered to Ukraine, though as of early 2001 two Krivak-I frigates were reportedly among the units earmarked for disposal by Ukraine.
In 1982 a joint Resolution of the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and the Navy approved the development of the Project 1135 and Project 1135.1 escort ships, based on new design and operation requirements to advanced AA/ASW, radio and radar equipment with a strike capability against surface ships. At the same time the Project 1154 class, with a similar displacement, was focused on combatting submarines and provide antisubmarine, antiship and antiaircraft defense to surface ship task forces and convoys. The Project 1135.1 Nerey [also reported as Project #1135P] Krivak III class was initially constructed for the KGB Maritime Border Guard, and have probably been transferred to the Russian Navy, under the Project 1135.5 designation. The Krivak-III also features 100-mm gun that replaces the SS-N-14 ASW missile launcher found on other models. Although having less ASW capability than the Krivak-1/II, they do embark a utility helicopter. Two units were transferred to Ukraine prior to completion.
The Krivak IV [reportedly Project #1135.2 though plausibly #1135.6] is a proposed design intended solely for export, with the same general layout as the Krivak III, though with improved electronics and weapons. Three modified Krivak-class frigates are under construction for India in St Petersburg. The first Talwar-type frigate for India was laid down at the Baltiisky Zavod shipyard in St. Petersburg in March 1999, and was launched on 12 May 2000. The seconf unit, Trishul, was launched on 23 November 2000, and the third frigate was laid down on 26 May 2000. The Talwar-type frigate is a further development of the Project 11351 patrol ship designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau. Ships of this type were initially built for coast guard forces. Project 1135.6 frigates differ from Project 1135.1 patrol ships in the range of tasks they can perform and in the assortment of weapon systems. The latter include the Club-N missile system recently developed by the Yekaterinburg-based Novator Design Bureau. The Talwar-type frigates carry eight standardized vertical launch tubes of the Club-N system which are installed in front of the pilot house. Another missile system, Shtil, installed closer to the bow, is intended to combat air targets at a range of 3 to 25 km. Its ammunition load comprises 24 missiles.

Slava Class Missile Cruiser
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/slava-DNSC9106906.JPG
The Slava class was designed as a surface strike ship with some anti-air and ASW capability. Falling midway between the massive 'Kirov' battle-cruiser and 'Sovremenny' class destroyers, this smaller contemporary of the Kirov may have been intended as a less-expensive complement to the larger ships. Slavas were built at the same yard that built the 'Kara' Class cruisers, and the hull appears to be a stretched version of the earlier design.
The sixteen SS-N-12 Sandbox anti-ship missiles are mounted in four pairs on either side of the superstructure, giving the ship a distinctive appearance. Many sources credit the Slava with the ability to carry nuclear armed SA-N-6 surface-to-air missiles, and 21-inch nuclear torpedoes, in addition to the SS-N-12. Soviet sources denied that the SA-N-6 missiles on the ship was even nuclear capable. They also indicated that the crane aboard the ship was used for handling boats, and not for loading or reloading SA-N-6 missiles, a procedure accomplished only at portside.

Kirov Class Missile Cruiser
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/kirov-DNSC9003793.JPG
The Russian Kirov Class Heavy Missile Cruise Ship are the world's largest 'cruisers' and might best be termed "battle cruisers". Originally designed as a large antisubmarine warship to search for and engage enemy ballistic missile submarines, the Kirov’s role was expanded to engage large surface targets and provide air and antisubmarine protection to naval forces after the introduction of the Granit antiship missile system. There are substantial differences in the equipment of each unit of this class.
The ship is armed with the Granit long range anti-ship missile system, known in the West as the Shipwreck missile. Twenty Granit antiship missiles are installed under the upper deck, mounted at a 60 degree elevation. The long-range missiles cannot be controlled once launched, but do have a multivariant target engagement program. When ripple-fired the missiles share information while in-flight. The lead missile assumes a high-level flight trajectory enabling it to increase its target acquisition capacity, while the other missiles follow at a lower level. If the lead missile is destroyed, one of the other missiles will automatically assume the lead role.
An S-300F Air Defence Missile Complex is installed on the ship, with 12 launchers and 96 vertical launch air defence missiles. The S-300F is capable of engaging both air and surface targets. The ship has two Osa-Ma double launchers and 40 air defence missiles. The ship is also fitted with a 130 mm AK-130 multipurpose two barrel gun. The ship's 30 mm artillery system is the AK-630 used to engage airborne targets including sea skimming anti-ship missiles, small sea vessels, floating mines and light armoured land based targets. The ship accommodates three Kamov Ka-27PL or Ka-25RT helicopters. The ship has ten missile or torpedo tubes with 20 Vodopad-NK anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes. The ship has two anti-submarine and anti-torpedo rocket systems, the Udav-1 with 40 anti-submarine rockets and the RBU-1000. The ship has two RBU-1000 six-tube anti-submarine rocket launchers, with 102 rockets.
The ship's propulsion system is based on a combination of nuclear power and steam turbine, with two [four according to some sources] nuclear reactors and two auxiliary boilers. The propulsion system provides a full speed of 31 knots. When operating on the auxiliary boilers the ship's speed is 14 knots and the ship has an endurance of 60 days. The selection of the machinery was determined by the role of the cruiser and its assigned missions. The automated main nuclear machinery comprises two reactors (to produce steam for operation), two main geared-turbine units developing 70,000 hp each (to ensure full cruiser speed of at least 30 knots) and two stand-by steam boilers of 115 t/h capacity. The stand-by steam boilers provide for development of 17 knots with nuclear reactors shut-off and ensure an operation range of up to 1,000 miles with shipborne fuel. The main machinery is arranged in three compartments: one compartment houses two nuclear reactors, the two others house geared-turbine units and steam boilers, respectively.

Moskva Class Helicopter Carrier
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/nk1123moskva1.jpg
The first Soviet aviation ships, the design was something of a hybrid, with features of a missile cruiser forward, and a flight deck aft of the superstructure. Their design was heavily influenced by the French carrier Jeanne d’Arc and the Italian Vittorio Veneto. At the time of her construction, the Moskva was the largest ship ever built by the Soviet Union.
Note: Counterweighting is available for an extra 100k. These ships are meant for young nations, and will provide some home defense capability. (Anyone who knows the Moskva class will know why these are so cheap.)

Udaloy Class Missile Destroyers
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/udaloy-DNSC9701581.JPG
Designed primarily as an anti-submarine warfare platform, with a long cruising range and underway replenishment capabilities, Udaloy class ships provide support to surface task forces. Udaloy reflects design changes that addressed the shortcomings of the previous Krivak program; namely the lack of helicopter facilities, limited sonar capabilities, and light air-defenses. The Udaloy has two helicopter hangars with doors that serve as a ramp to the flight deck. The ship uses a Polinom active/passive search/attack sonar system. The Udaloy’s air-defense system consists of 8 Klinok launchers, and the AK-630 and AK-100 gun mounts.
The Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, single-role combatants. The concept of a specialized surface ships was developed by Soviet designers. Two different types of warships were laid down which were designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau: Project 956 destroyer and Project 1155 large antisubmarine ship. Generally the Soviet equivalent of the American Spruance class, there are variations in SAM and air search radar among units of the class. Based on the Krivak class, the empahasis on ASW left these ships with limited anti-surface and anti-air capabilities.
Following Udaloy's commissioning, designers began developing an upgrade package in 1982 to provide more balanced capabilities. The Project 1155.1 Fregat II Class Large ASW Ships [NATO Codename Udaloy II] Russia's only multipurpose warship -- intended to be the Russian counterpart to the American Arleigh Burke-class ships. The Udaloy-II is modified by the replacement of the SS-N-14 by the SS-N-22, reflecting a change in emphasis from ASW to anti-shipping. Other changes include an improved self defense capabilit with the addition of the gun/SAM CIWS systems. Similar to Udaloy externally, it was a new configuration with the Moskit antiship missiles, a twin 130mm gun, the Udav antitorpedo system and several anti-aircraft systems. Powered by a modern gas-turbine engine, it was equipped with more capable sonars, an integrated air defense fire control system, and a number of digital electronic systems based on state-of-the-art circuitry.

This heavily armed Small Missile Ship [Malyy Raketnyy Korabl' MRK] feature more gun and anti-air defense capabilities compared to previous Soviet missile ships. The remarkable amount of fire power and electronics mounted on such a small platform apparently was purchased at the price of poor sea-keeping characteristics. They are best used for coast defense or operation in seas. Best not to take them into high seas.

Zubr Class Hovercraft
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Amphibious_Ships/1232-2.jpg
The Zubr (Bison) is the world's largest air-cushion vehicle. This Russian Air Cushion Landing Craft, known by the NATO codename Pomornik [Skua], came into service in 1986. The mission of the ships is to carry out rapid sea-lift and beach landing of assault troops and combat material on territory held by hostile forces. The ships also provides fire support for the troop operations on shore.
The ships are equipped with two stabilised multiple rocket launchers, four Igla-1M portable air defence missile systems, and two AK-630 30 mm automatic gun mounts. The Zubr Class ships can carry up to 130 tons of cargo: three medium battle tanks such as the T-80B tank, or eight BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, or ten BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, or 360 fully equipped amphibious landing troops. The ships have a bow and a stern ramp for fast landing of troops and combat material. The ships have a top speed of 60 knots. It can move on sea surface, sandbanks, marshes and overcomes obstacles up to 2 meters.
The high-temperature gas-turbine engines are installed on the craft to drive the air-cushion blowers and air propellers. Four NO-10 blowers, fitted with axial operating wheels, 2.5 m in diameter, are mounted to generate the air-cushion. The air thrust for movement is provided by three four-bladed reversible variable-pitch air propellers, 5.5 m in dia. The air propellers are mounted inside ring shrouds. The craft is equipped with two electric power plants. Each electric power plant comprises two gas-turbine generators, rated at 100 kW each, as well as the main switchboards. Control of the craft and its technical means is centralized, remote, automated. These modes of control are celected from the main control station, central control room and remote control panels.
The square-shape pontoon constitutes the main carrying structure of the hull, which ensures the ruggedness and insubmersibility of the craft. The pontoon's superstructure is divided by two longitudinal bulkheads into three functional parts. The middle part accommodates a compartment for armored vehicles to be landed with taxi tracks and loading/unloading ramps. The main and auxiliary powerplants, troop compartments, crew living quarters, as well as the life-support system and the system for protection against WMD. To maintain comfortable conditions at combat stations, in amphibious troops compartments and crew living quarters, provision is made for ventilation, air-conditioning and heating systems, thermosound insulation coatings and structures made from vibro-damping materials. Provision is also made for the normal rest and feeding of the crew.

Ka-25 ASW/SAR Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/ka-25-dnst8611142.jpg
The deployment of the Polaris naval strategic nuclear missile system in the USA acted as a catalyst accelerating development of aircraft carrying ships in the USSR. The Ka-25 Hormone helicopter was developed to meet a Soviet Naval Air Force specification for an anti-submarine helicopter for ship or shore-based use. Its main role is the destruction of nuclear submarines.
The first Ka-25 prototype flew in 1961. Designed by the world's leading pioneer of co-axial helicopters, Nikolai I. Kamov (1902-1973) this Soviet AV-MF (naval aviation) anti-submarine warfare rotary wing aircraft was assigned to the Soviet Helicopter Carrier Moskva. The Hormone is powered by twin turbines, installed side-by-side above the cabin, that drive two, three-bladed coaxial, contra-rotating rotors. The contra-rotating rotors eliminated the need for an anti-torque tail rotor, and made a very compact design possible, with obvious benefits for shipboard operations.

Kilo Class Attack Submarine
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/kilo-DNSC8704340.JPG
The Kilo Class (Project 877) submarine was designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare in the protection of naval bases, coastal installations and sea lanes, and also for general reconnaissance and patrol missions. The Kilo is considered to be to be one of the quietest diesel submarines in the world. The submarine consists of six watertight compartments separated by transverse bulkheads in a pressurised double-hull. This design and the submarine's good reserve buoyancy lead to increased survivability if the submarine is holed, even with one compartment and two adjacent ballast tanks flooded. The foreplanes are positioned on the upper hull in front of the fin or sail. The command and control systems and fire control systems are located in the main control room which is sealed off from the other compartments.
The Project 636 design is a generally improved development of the Project 877EKM Kilo class that represents an interim design between the standard 'Kilo' and the new Lada project. The Project 636 is actively promoted for the world market by the Rosvoorouzhenie state-owned company. This submarine has improved range, firepower, acoustic characteristics and reliability. Visually distinguished by a step on the aft casing, the length of the hull is extended by two frame spacings (2 x 600 mm). The additional length permitted increasing the power of diesel-generators and mounting them on improved shock-absorbing support, and reducing twofold the main propulsion shaft speed. Owing to these improvements, the submarine speed and sea endurance were increased, while the noise level was radically decreased. The low noise level of the submarine has been achieved with the selection of quiet machinery, vibration and noise isolation and a special anti-acoustic rubber coating applied on the outer hull surface.
The Project 636 is equipped with six 533 mm forward torpedo tubes situated in the nose of the submarine and carries eighteen torpedoes with six in the torpedo tubes and twelve stored on the racks. Alternatively the torpedo tubes can deploy mines. The submarine can carry 24 mines with two in each of the six tubes and twelve on the racks. Two torpedo tubes are designed for firing remote-controlled torpedoes with a very high accuracy. All torpedo tubes and their service systems provide effective firing from periscope to operational depths. The computer-controlled torpedo system is provided with a quick-loading device. It takes only 15 seconds to prepare stand-by torpedo tubes for firing: The first salvo is fired within two minutes and the second within five minutes.

Su-27K (naval) Flanker
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/su33.jpg
Su-33 (Su-27K) is a carrier-based variant that first flew in May 1985, and entered service in the Russian Navy in 1994. The air regiment comprising 24 fighters of the type was formed up on Russia's only operating aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The Su-33 can carry guided missiles such as the H-25MP, H-31 and H-41. The Su-33 is used in both night and day operations at sea, and operate with the command center ship and with the Ka-31 early-warning helicopter. With the R-27EM missiles it can intercept antiship missiles.
It has extra small wings near the pilots cabin which shorten the take-off distance and improve manoeuvrability. While it is not assisted by a catapault the Su33 has a higher thrust to weight ratio and also, due to better aerodynamics, generates more lift. Flaperons were replaced with slotted high lift flaps to increase lift and control at low speeds. Due to the lower approach and take off speeds a number of changes were made. Moveable foreplanes were attached which also aided maneuverability and controlability throughout the envelope. The outer wings fold for more compact storage on the aircraft carrier. To avoid tail scrape during landing and take-off the long tail cone on the land based versions was shortened. The landing gear was also streangthened, with a double wheel nose unit, an arrestor hook was added and specialized naval navigational aids were also added.

Most ships sold here are downgaded versions of LRR designs. All gas powered ships are equipped with emissions filters, which cut down the levels of greenhouse gases produced by the ships. They also eliminate engine smoke trails and lessen the vessel's thermal signature.
Falcon Class Antisub Ships
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Anti_Submarine_Ships/1145_1.jpg
The Falcon class are excellent antisubmarine ships. They incorperate hydrofoil technology, allowing the Falcon class a maximum speed of over 40 knots, and, when at hydrofoil speeds, near-impervious to conventional torpedos. They are excellent coastal patrol vessels- much cheaper than frigates but just as disruptive to enemy subs. The LRR version is powered by two hydrogen fuel cells, each driving a single propeller (the LRR version is known as the Falcon 2), but the regular production version has a pair of diesiel turbines, each driving a single screw.
In terms of armerment, the Falcon class is no shortcomer. Each mounts two Ak-306 multibarrel cannons for point defense against missiles, as well as a full compliment of chaff and flare clusters. Jamming equipment is also available. In place of the foreward Ak-306, an Ak-176 rapid-fire 76mm cannon can be installed. The Falcon class can carry eight torpedos of Mk. 48 size and shape, and a further 8 ready to re-load the empty launchers. The Falcon class can either be equipped with high-grade acoustics, capable of detecting even the quietest subs if conditions are right, or more pedestrian but cheaper acoustics.

Albatross Class Antisubmarine Ship
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Anti_Submarine_Ships/1124-2.jpg
The Albatross class is a more purpose-built antisubmarine/patrol platform. While not used by LRR in substantial numbers, they are still producable by LRR shipyards. They are powered by gas turbines, and unrefuelled range at a 21 knot cruising speed is 950 nautical miles. Maximum speed is around 32 knots chase speed. As with the Falcon, they can either be equipped with high or average grade acoustics.
In terms of armerment, the Albatross is also no pushover. 20 dumbfire rockets are mounted in foreward launchers, and the Albatross carries a single Ak-630 point defense cannon and chaff and flare launchers. In terms of antisub weaponry, the Albatross carries depth charges, as well as Mk. 48 sized torpedos. An AK-176 cannon is mounted towards the stern.

They are capable of icebreaker duty, with their heavy bowl-shaped hull, and can reach speeds of up to 20 knots. They are excellent for submarine rescue, and can carry one DSRV-sized vehicle. A helipad capable of accomodating lynx size helicopters can be built on the back of the vessel.

Krivak class ASW Frigates
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/krivak1-DNST8808669.JPG
The first of the 'Krivak' anti-submarine ships appeared in 1970. They were faster and more heavily armed than their Weastern counterparts, with four large SSN-14 Silex missiles. The huge quadruple SSN-14 launcher dominates the forward end of these ships. Twenty one ships were built before the forst of the 11 improved 'Krivak IIs' appeared in 1976. This version had new guns and a larger variable depth sonar. The 'Krivak III' which entered service in the mid-1980s, dropped the Silex launcher for a sinlge gun turret and incorporated a hanger and flight deck instead of the stern gun turrets.
Sources all agree that the Krivak I series consisted of 19 units with the first unit being completed in 1970, though there is a diversity of views as to whether the final unit was completed in 1980 or 1982. And while there is agreement on the names of these units, there is rather profound diversity of opinion on the construction chronology [to the extent that some sources suggest that the Poryvisty was one of the earlier ships, completed in 1974, while others contend that is was the last ship, completed in 1982].
At least two and possibly three Krivak-I frigates were modernized between 1987 and 1994. Known in the West as MOD Krivak, different sources suggest that the Soviet designation was either Project #1135.2 Mod or Project #1135.6 [the former seems perhaps more likely]. This modification featured a new surface-to-surface missile in place of old ASW rocket launcher, along with improved electronics and sonars. Though possibly planned for all Krivak-I units, further implementation of this scheme apparently foundered on financial shoals.
The Project #1135M Krivak II mainly differs from the initial version in having a different caliber gun. Sources all agree that the Krivak II series consisted of 11 units, all constructed at Shipyard 820 and completed between 1975 and 1982. And while there is agreement on the names of these units, there is considerable diversity of opinion on the construction chronology. It is generally agreed by most sources that as of 1999 at least four further units had been discarded, while some sources suggest that three additional units had also been discarded. All sources agree that at least one unit transfered to Ukraine, though as of early 2001 two Krivak-I frigates were reportedly among the units earmarked for disposal by Ukraine.
In 1982 a joint Resolution of the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry and the Navy approved the development of the Project 1135 and Project 1135.1 escort ships, based on new design and operation requirements to advanced AA/ASW, radio and radar equipment with a strike capability against surface ships. At the same time the Project 1154 class, with a similar displacement, was focused on combatting submarines and provide antisubmarine, antiship and antiaircraft defense to surface ship task forces and convoys. The Project 1135.1 Nerey [also reported as Project #1135P] Krivak III class was initially constructed for the KGB Maritime Border Guard, and have probably been transferred to the Russian Navy, under the Project 1135.5 designation. The Krivak-III also features 100-mm gun that replaces the SS-N-14 ASW missile launcher found on other models. Although having less ASW capability than the Krivak-1/II, they do embark a utility helicopter. Two units were transferred to Ukraine prior to completion.
The Krivak IV [reportedly Project #1135.2 though plausibly #1135.6] is a proposed design intended solely for export, with the same general layout as the Krivak III, though with improved electronics and weapons. Three modified Krivak-class frigates are under construction for India in St Petersburg. The first Talwar-type frigate for India was laid down at the Baltiisky Zavod shipyard in St. Petersburg in March 1999, and was launched on 12 May 2000. The seconf unit, Trishul, was launched on 23 November 2000, and the third frigate was laid down on 26 May 2000. The Talwar-type frigate is a further development of the Project 11351 patrol ship designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau. Ships of this type were initially built for coast guard forces. Project 1135.6 frigates differ from Project 1135.1 patrol ships in the range of tasks they can perform and in the assortment of weapon systems. The latter include the Club-N missile system recently developed by the Yekaterinburg-based Novator Design Bureau. The Talwar-type frigates carry eight standardized vertical launch tubes of the Club-N system which are installed in front of the pilot house. Another missile system, Shtil, installed closer to the bow, is intended to combat air targets at a range of 3 to 25 km. Its ammunition load comprises 24 missiles.

Slava Class Missile Cruiser
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/slava-DNSC9106906.JPG
The Slava class was designed as a surface strike ship with some anti-air and ASW capability. Falling midway between the massive 'Kirov' battle-cruiser and 'Sovremenny' class destroyers, this smaller contemporary of the Kirov may have been intended as a less-expensive complement to the larger ships. Slavas were built at the same yard that built the 'Kara' Class cruisers, and the hull appears to be a stretched version of the earlier design.
The sixteen SS-N-12 Sandbox anti-ship missiles are mounted in four pairs on either side of the superstructure, giving the ship a distinctive appearance. Many sources credit the Slava with the ability to carry nuclear armed SA-N-6 surface-to-air missiles, and 21-inch nuclear torpedoes, in addition to the SS-N-12. Soviet sources denied that the SA-N-6 missiles on the ship was even nuclear capable. They also indicated that the crane aboard the ship was used for handling boats, and not for loading or reloading SA-N-6 missiles, a procedure accomplished only at portside.

Kirov Class Missile Cruiser
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/kirov-DNSC9003793.JPG
The Russian Kirov Class Heavy Missile Cruise Ship are the world's largest 'cruisers' and might best be termed "battle cruisers". Originally designed as a large antisubmarine warship to search for and engage enemy ballistic missile submarines, the Kirov’s role was expanded to engage large surface targets and provide air and antisubmarine protection to naval forces after the introduction of the Granit antiship missile system. There are substantial differences in the equipment of each unit of this class.
The ship is armed with the Granit long range anti-ship missile system, known in the West as the Shipwreck missile. Twenty Granit antiship missiles are installed under the upper deck, mounted at a 60 degree elevation. The long-range missiles cannot be controlled once launched, but do have a multivariant target engagement program. When ripple-fired the missiles share information while in-flight. The lead missile assumes a high-level flight trajectory enabling it to increase its target acquisition capacity, while the other missiles follow at a lower level. If the lead missile is destroyed, one of the other missiles will automatically assume the lead role.
An S-300F Air Defence Missile Complex is installed on the ship, with 12 launchers and 96 vertical launch air defence missiles. The S-300F is capable of engaging both air and surface targets. The ship has two Osa-Ma double launchers and 40 air defence missiles. The ship is also fitted with a 130 mm AK-130 multipurpose two barrel gun. The ship's 30 mm artillery system is the AK-630 used to engage airborne targets including sea skimming anti-ship missiles, small sea vessels, floating mines and light armoured land based targets. The ship accommodates three Kamov Ka-27PL or Ka-25RT helicopters. The ship has ten missile or torpedo tubes with 20 Vodopad-NK anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes. The ship has two anti-submarine and anti-torpedo rocket systems, the Udav-1 with 40 anti-submarine rockets and the RBU-1000. The ship has two RBU-1000 six-tube anti-submarine rocket launchers, with 102 rockets.
The ship's propulsion system is based on a combination of nuclear power and steam turbine, with two [four according to some sources] nuclear reactors and two auxiliary boilers. The propulsion system provides a full speed of 31 knots. When operating on the auxiliary boilers the ship's speed is 14 knots and the ship has an endurance of 60 days. The selection of the machinery was determined by the role of the cruiser and its assigned missions. The automated main nuclear machinery comprises two reactors (to produce steam for operation), two main geared-turbine units developing 70,000 hp each (to ensure full cruiser speed of at least 30 knots) and two stand-by steam boilers of 115 t/h capacity. The stand-by steam boilers provide for development of 17 knots with nuclear reactors shut-off and ensure an operation range of up to 1,000 miles with shipborne fuel. The main machinery is arranged in three compartments: one compartment houses two nuclear reactors, the two others house geared-turbine units and steam boilers, respectively.

Moskva Class Helicopter Carrier
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/nk1123moskva1.jpg
The first Soviet aviation ships, the design was something of a hybrid, with features of a missile cruiser forward, and a flight deck aft of the superstructure. Their design was heavily influenced by the French carrier Jeanne d’Arc and the Italian Vittorio Veneto. At the time of her construction, the Moskva was the largest ship ever built by the Soviet Union.
Note: Counterweighting is available for an extra 100k. These ships are meant for young nations, and will provide some home defense capability. (Anyone who knows the Moskva class will know why these are so cheap.)

Udaloy Class Missile Destroyers
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/udaloy-DNSC9701581.JPG
Designed primarily as an anti-submarine warfare platform, with a long cruising range and underway replenishment capabilities, Udaloy class ships provide support to surface task forces. Udaloy reflects design changes that addressed the shortcomings of the previous Krivak program; namely the lack of helicopter facilities, limited sonar capabilities, and light air-defenses. The Udaloy has two helicopter hangars with doors that serve as a ramp to the flight deck. The ship uses a Polinom active/passive search/attack sonar system. The Udaloy’s air-defense system consists of 8 Klinok launchers, and the AK-630 and AK-100 gun mounts.
The Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, single-role combatants. The concept of a specialized surface ships was developed by Soviet designers. Two different types of warships were laid down which were designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau: Project 956 destroyer and Project 1155 large antisubmarine ship. Generally the Soviet equivalent of the American Spruance class, there are variations in SAM and air search radar among units of the class. Based on the Krivak class, the empahasis on ASW left these ships with limited anti-surface and anti-air capabilities.
Following Udaloy's commissioning, designers began developing an upgrade package in 1982 to provide more balanced capabilities. The Project 1155.1 Fregat II Class Large ASW Ships [NATO Codename Udaloy II] Russia's only multipurpose warship -- intended to be the Russian counterpart to the American Arleigh Burke-class ships. The Udaloy-II is modified by the replacement of the SS-N-14 by the SS-N-22, reflecting a change in emphasis from ASW to anti-shipping. Other changes include an improved self defense capabilit with the addition of the gun/SAM CIWS systems. Similar to Udaloy externally, it was a new configuration with the Moskit antiship missiles, a twin 130mm gun, the Udav antitorpedo system and several anti-aircraft systems. Powered by a modern gas-turbine engine, it was equipped with more capable sonars, an integrated air defense fire control system, and a number of digital electronic systems based on state-of-the-art circuitry.

Zubr Class Hovercraft
http://warships.ru/Russia/Fighting_Ships/Amphibious_Ships/1232-2.jpg
The Zubr (Bison) is the world's largest air-cushion vehicle. This Russian Air Cushion Landing Craft, known by the NATO codename Pomornik [Skua], came into service in 1986. The mission of the ships is to carry out rapid sea-lift and beach landing of assault troops and combat material on territory held by hostile forces. The ships also provides fire support for the troop operations on shore.
The ships are equipped with two stabilised multiple rocket launchers, four Igla-1M portable air defence missile systems, and two AK-630 30 mm automatic gun mounts. The Zubr Class ships can carry up to 130 tons of cargo: three medium battle tanks such as the T-80B tank, or eight BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, or ten BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, or 360 fully equipped amphibious landing troops. The ships have a bow and a stern ramp for fast landing of troops and combat material. The ships have a top speed of 60 knots. It can move on sea surface, sandbanks, marshes and overcomes obstacles up to 2 meters.
The high-temperature gas-turbine engines are installed on the craft to drive the air-cushion blowers and air propellers. Four NO-10 blowers, fitted with axial operating wheels, 2.5 m in diameter, are mounted to generate the air-cushion. The air thrust for movement is provided by three four-bladed reversible variable-pitch air propellers, 5.5 m in dia. The air propellers are mounted inside ring shrouds. The craft is equipped with two electric power plants. Each electric power plant comprises two gas-turbine generators, rated at 100 kW each, as well as the main switchboards. Control of the craft and its technical means is centralized, remote, automated. These modes of control are celected from the main control station, central control room and remote control panels.
The square-shape pontoon constitutes the main carrying structure of the hull, which ensures the ruggedness and insubmersibility of the craft. The pontoon's superstructure is divided by two longitudinal bulkheads into three functional parts. The middle part accommodates a compartment for armored vehicles to be landed with taxi tracks and loading/unloading ramps. The main and auxiliary powerplants, troop compartments, crew living quarters, as well as the life-support system and the system for protection against WMD. To maintain comfortable conditions at combat stations, in amphibious troops compartments and crew living quarters, provision is made for ventilation, air-conditioning and heating systems, thermosound insulation coatings and structures made from vibro-damping materials. Provision is also made for the normal rest and feeding of the crew.

Ka-25 ASW/SAR Helicopter
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/ka-25-dnst8611142.jpg
The deployment of the Polaris naval strategic nuclear missile system in the USA acted as a catalyst accelerating development of aircraft carrying ships in the USSR. The Ka-25 Hormone helicopter was developed to meet a Soviet Naval Air Force specification for an anti-submarine helicopter for ship or shore-based use. Its main role is the destruction of nuclear submarines.
The first Ka-25 prototype flew in 1961. Designed by the world's leading pioneer of co-axial helicopters, Nikolai I. Kamov (1902-1973) this Soviet AV-MF (naval aviation) anti-submarine warfare rotary wing aircraft was assigned to the Soviet Helicopter Carrier Moskva. The Hormone is powered by twin turbines, installed side-by-side above the cabin, that drive two, three-bladed coaxial, contra-rotating rotors. The contra-rotating rotors eliminated the need for an anti-torque tail rotor, and made a very compact design possible, with obvious benefits for shipboard operations.

Kilo Class Attack Submarine
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/kilo-DNSC8704340.JPG
The Kilo Class (Project 877) submarine was designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare in the protection of naval bases, coastal installations and sea lanes, and also for general reconnaissance and patrol missions. The Kilo is considered to be to be one of the quietest diesel submarines in the world. The submarine consists of six watertight compartments separated by transverse bulkheads in a pressurised double-hull. This design and the submarine's good reserve buoyancy lead to increased survivability if the submarine is holed, even with one compartment and two adjacent ballast tanks flooded. The foreplanes are positioned on the upper hull in front of the fin or sail. The command and control systems and fire control systems are located in the main control room which is sealed off from the other compartments.
The Project 636 design is a generally improved development of the Project 877EKM Kilo class that represents an interim design between the standard 'Kilo' and the new Lada project. The Project 636 is actively promoted for the world market by the Rosvoorouzhenie state-owned company. This submarine has improved range, firepower, acoustic characteristics and reliability. Visually distinguished by a step on the aft casing, the length of the hull is extended by two frame spacings (2 x 600 mm). The additional length permitted increasing the power of diesel-generators and mounting them on improved shock-absorbing support, and reducing twofold the main propulsion shaft speed. Owing to these improvements, the submarine speed and sea endurance were increased, while the noise level was radically decreased. The low noise level of the submarine has been achieved with the selection of quiet machinery, vibration and noise isolation and a special anti-acoustic rubber coating applied on the outer hull surface.
The Project 636 is equipped with six 533 mm forward torpedo tubes situated in the nose of the submarine and carries eighteen torpedoes with six in the torpedo tubes and twelve stored on the racks. Alternatively the torpedo tubes can deploy mines. The submarine can carry 24 mines with two in each of the six tubes and twelve on the racks. Two torpedo tubes are designed for firing remote-controlled torpedoes with a very high accuracy. All torpedo tubes and their service systems provide effective firing from periscope to operational depths. The computer-controlled torpedo system is provided with a quick-loading device. It takes only 15 seconds to prepare stand-by torpedo tubes for firing: The first salvo is fired within two minutes and the second within five minutes.

Su-27K (naval) Flanker
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/images/su33.jpg
Su-33 (Su-27K) is a carrier-based variant that first flew in May 1985, and entered service in the Russian Navy in 1994. The air regiment comprising 24 fighters of the type was formed up on Russia's only operating aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The Su-33 can carry guided missiles such as the H-25MP, H-31 and H-41. The Su-33 is used in both night and day operations at sea, and operate with the command center ship and with the Ka-31 early-warning helicopter. With the R-27EM missiles it can intercept antiship missiles.
It has extra small wings near the pilots cabin which shorten the take-off distance and improve manoeuvrability. While it is not assisted by a catapault the Su33 has a higher thrust to weight ratio and also, due to better aerodynamics, generates more lift. Flaperons were replaced with slotted high lift flaps to increase lift and control at low speeds. Due to the lower approach and take off speeds a number of changes were made. Moveable foreplanes were attached which also aided maneuverability and controlability throughout the envelope. The outer wings fold for more compact storage on the aircraft carrier. To avoid tail scrape during landing and take-off the long tail cone on the land based versions was shortened. The landing gear was also streangthened, with a double wheel nose unit, an arrestor hook was added and specialized naval navigational aids were also added.
