Corvette "Gremyashchiy" project 20385 on degaussing

Reportedly, the head corvette of the project 20385 Gremyashchy completed the construction for the Russian Navy at PJSC Shipbuilding Plant Severnaya Verf, St. Petersburg (serial number 1005) is being demagnetized, preparing to begin factory trials in the near future. The tests are scheduled for December 2018, the start of the State tests is for August 2019, and the transfer of the corvette to the Russian Navy is now expected by the end of 2019.



Completed by construction for the Russian Navy at the PJSC "Shipbuilding Plant" Severnaya Verf "in St. Petersburg, the head corvette" Gremyashchy" of the project 20385 on demagnetization, 11/24/2018 (c) Deadushka Mitrich / forums.airbase.ru

The “Gremyashchiy” is the leading corps of the project 20385 being built on the “Northern Shipyard” for the Russian Navy in a series of two ships of this modification and was laid down on February 1, 2012. The corvette was taken out of the enterprise slipway on June 16, 2017 and launched on June 30, 2017. During the descent of the ship, the date of its transfer to the Navy was called the end of 2018.

The second corvette of the project 20385 “Provornyy” (serial number 1006) was laid on July 26, 2013. Both ships are built according to the state contract No. 253/05/2 / К / 0546-06 dated March 27, 2006 with the Ministry of Defense of Russia. According to the additional contract concluded with the Ministry of Defense in 2011, construction of eight more Project 20385 corvettes was supposed to be built at the Northern Shipyard by 2020. However, wishes for further improvement of the project and wide use of imported components for this project, including German main diesel engines MTU, trapped after 2014, under sanctions restrictions, led to the decision of the Russian Navy to limit the series of the project 20385 to only two pledged ships under the 2006 contract.

Nevertheless, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tryapichnikov, head of the shipbuilding department of the Russian Navy, said at the ceremony of launching the corvette “Gremyashchy” on June 30, 2017 that it was still planned to build two more corvettes of the project 20385 besides the two under construction, although the question of the timing of the laying of two more corvettes will be resolved after testing the lead ship.

The construction of both pledged corvettes of the project 20385 was strongly delayed due to the non-delivery of the main diesel engines MTU for them. On January 30, 2015, the Ministry of Defense of Russia entered into Supplemental Agreement No. 3/1/1/0053-D17-15-DGOZ with the Northern Shipyard for the completion of both project 20385 corvettes with Russian-made diesel engines - diesel engines 1DDA-12000 produced by Kolomensky JSC plant "(installed on the first four Project 20380 built on the Severnaya Verf shipyard with serial numbers 1001-1004). Each corvette receives two diesel units, the structure of one unit 1DDA-12000 includes two main marine engines 16D49 with a capacity of 6000 hp. production of the Kolmensky plant and reverse gear transmission RDD 12000, produced by JSC "Star".

Russian diesel engines are installed on corvettes in pursuance of Decision of the Ministry of Defense of Russia No. 235/1/1/2335 on the procedure for replacing imported equipment during the construction of corvettes of projects 20385 and 20380 with serial numbers 1005-1008, adopted after the introduction of sanctions and the refusal of the German concern MTU from the delivery of power plants. Eight sets of 1DDA-12000 units for the above four corvettes were ordered by Severnaya Verfyu at JSC Kolomensky Zavod in May 2015 at a price of over 577 million rubles per unit, with delivery from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017.

So they sourced​ the engines for this class of ships from Russia?

So can they order more of these corvettes now? And does Derzkii class use this same engine model?

Uuurahh!

It was going to have more powerful MTU diesels to handle the extra mass but delivery came up post 404 -> Germany refused to deliver so its been built with same engines as 20380s & should be a bit underpowered (variable pitch props though instead of fixed pitch).

20386 has CODLOG

2* M90FR gas turbines direct drive for high speed & decoupled (quieter) diesel-electric for low speed.
Its a new way of doing it, several recent Western classes have had issues with trying to do decoupled electric propulsion so fair likelihood of this needing a lot of testing/fixes.

The small radome looks like a cherry on top of some ice cream.




Is the second pair ordered?

The small radome looks like a cherry on top of some ice cream.

I like to hope it got an upgrade to being based on the Pantsir-S2 AESA instead of still being Pantsir-S1 based PESA Furke but probably not.

Kolomenskiy dvigatelyniy zavod is based in town of Kolomna, Podmoskovye. For the last 600 years Kolomna is, I think, in Russia, or maybe somewhere in China? Wait, and Russia itself is a small, poor country in Africa!

nice quadpack.

BTW Gromiky the 2nd Pacific ship will be accepted on 14th, I believe thats the order signing not flag raising.

Sea trials for corvette Gromky wrap up in Russia

After the state testing the corvette will join the Pacific Fleet

VLADIVOSTOK, December 17. /TASS/. The sea part of the state testing for Project 20380 corvette Gromky, built for the Pacific Fleet, has ended in the Primorsky Region, the Department for Information Support of the Eastern Military District Press Service for the Pacific Fleet reported.

"During the state testing, the ship’s crew and representatives for the plant trial crew carried out the maneuver and speed testing of the corvette in cooperation with members of the state admission board, as well as checked the operation of all sets, systems and bends, navigation and radio technical means and the ship’s arms," the report says.

According to flot.com Gromky will be put into service at the 25th.

Gromky has bee delivered to Pacific Fleet

From the ceremony:

Any idea when the Gremyashchiy will be commissioned? It was launched around the same time as the Gromkiy. I wonder why it takes so long for the Russian Navy to commission ships.

I believe Shishkin noted October-November 2019 as planned commissioning date. Gremyashchiy is an upgraded class, so new systems have to be tested. Unlike Steregushchy it will fire Kalibr cruise missiles.

What about Retivy and Strogy in STP they were planed for 2018? Any info about them?

That's true, but it still takes them around a year and a half (recent ships) to commission the "basic" model after the launch. It's still to long if you ask me.

I hope they can cut the time to no more than a year for future ships.

With the current trend we wont see the 3rd and the 4th ship in the Pacific fleet until the end of 2020 and 2021.

Any info on the 5th ship for the Baltic fleet?

Before those two, Tsydenzhapov is planned next year, you can check it yourself:

USC announced that all corvettes will be delayed for one year in September so in the table there are NOTnew dates.
EDIT: add +1 year, the delay shifted launches 2019 & 2010 to 2020 & 2021, source https://flotprom.ru/2018/%D0%90%D1%81%D0%B722/
so no new Steregushchys next year.

But still it takes the same time for US navy to commission Independence and Freedom corvettes of roughly same displacement. Anyway perhaps we can be optimistic. The newest Buyan took only few months to launch! All previous ships 2 years. Perhaps this can happen also with Steregushchy class and the production will run as smooth as Russian Lada.

I was checking the list of all electronics on the ship and I noticed six radars: Furke-E, Zaslon, Monument-A, MR for navigation, Puma for fire control and even Poliment (btw this means that it has Poliment-Redut air defense with 300 km range - equal to Gorshkov class). Does anyone know if all of them are AESA?

No poliment on them as far as I know. It is a radar derivated of pantsir radar and it only can use the 40km range missiles.

Would be interesting to know which is better to have, this one with active rdar missiles or a buk with semi active radar 45km range missiles (or buk M3 which is a higher lvl since its range is almost the double at 70km)

Corvette "Gromky" project 20380 became part of the Russian Navy

On December 25, 2018 in Vladivostok, a solemn ceremony of raising the Naval flag on the Gromky corvette Project 20380 took place. The ship was enlisted by the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy to the Russian Navy and included in the combat fleet of the Pacific Fleet. This is the second corvette of project 20380, built by Amur Shipbuilding Plant PJSC (part of United Shipbuilding Corporation JSC - USC) in Komsomolsk-on-Amur for the Pacific Fleet, and generally the sixth ship of project 20380, introduced into the Navy of Russia.

Commander of the Eastern Military District, Lieutenant-General Gennady Zhidko, Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet (Rear Fleet) Rear Admiral Sergei Rekish and Vice President of USC Dmitry Kolodyazhny took part in the rally dedicated to raising the flag on the ship.

Recall that the corvette “Gromky” of the project 20380 (serial number 2102) is the second ship of this project, built on the NEA in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The contract for the construction of the first two Pacific corvettes of the project 20380 with serial numbers 2101 and 2102 was concluded by the ASP with the Russian Ministry of Defense on January 26, 2006. The second corvette under this contract, “Gromky” (serial number 2102) was laid down only on April 20, 2012. However, on February 12, 2014, the PEA and the Ministry of Defense of Russia renegotiated a contract for the construction of a corvette with factory number 2102 due to a revision of the price, as a result of the PEA close to the actual costs.

Currently, at the plant, under the state contract dated June 4, 2015, the construction of the next two corvettes of the project 20380 for this plant - “Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov” (serial number 2103, laid down on July 22, 2015) and “Rezkiy” (serial number 2104, founded July 1, 2016). Their delivery of the Navy is now scheduled for 2020 and 2021, respectively.

At the ceremony of commissioning the Gromky corvette, deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet for armament, Rear Admiral Igor Korolev said that “two more corvettes of the project 20380 will be built by the Amur Shipbuilding Plant. They are basically the same project, but they have one feature. If we look at the tower-mast complex, their U-shaped mast will disappear, and the front one will acquire several other outlines, and a multi-functional radar system of the ship will be installed in it. "

Earlier, Severnaya Verf Shipyard (St. Petersburg) commissioned four corvettes of project 20380 to the Russian Navy and is building five more corvettes (two projects 20380 (Retiviy, Strogiy), two projects 20385, and one project 20386).
