@Podlodka77
I wouldn't rely too much on Navykorabel.ru as an extremely reliable source of information, as I think Deepstorm.ru is far more reliable about the Russian submarine fleet.
Navykorabel.ru also deals with "prophecy" (building plans), while Deepstorm.ru does not. Very Happy
Submarine "Nurlat" underwent a detailed overhaul from 2015-2019 and is still in the composition of the fleet, the same as B-464. If a submarine is not active (officially or unofficially), that still does not mean it is OFFICIALLY decommissioned.

http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/dts/877/list.htm

Yes. I have known deepstorm.ru for a long time, about 20 years, since at least the time when the 971 Guepard was finished.

The method is similar, they check the media and official contract publications to collect data
Believe me that deepstorm steps behind NavyKorabel, who is more informed and has contacts on the ground, after all, anyone who lives in Vladivostok sees the ships through their window
I have contacted him several times through his blog and much of the information, such as the scrapping of some ships, is collected from contacts on the ground, since the Ministry of Defense does not report the loss of ships

About the 19th brigade, has 6 crews, I read somewhere that Pacific Fllet crews go to the west to training/test with new submarines and then return with the submarines to Pacific.
Simply you have 6 crews for 9 ships, so only two 877 remaining operational in 19 brigade, simply we cannot know what ships are in reserve or retired until no more information

A new SSK Brigade is projected for Kamchatka and in the 2030´s will receive Lada´s pr 677, but I think the crews will star the training several years before, so is posible the 877 in reserve will be sent to Kamchatka in the next years ad return to operational service

It is reported in the blog that "Nurlat" and "Ust-Kamchatsk" entered Dalzavod in Vladivostok in May 2020 therefore they are not active but in dry dock or storage awaiting their turn for repairs or well for scrap. Time will tell
This could be consistent if you want to send several submarines to Kamchatka after 6 submarines pr.636.6  are received in 19th Brigade at Ulysses Bay in Vladivostok.
In addition, another 877 of the same brigade has necessarily had to go into reserve when the "Ufa" has entered the Navy

Warships of the main classes of the Russian Navy as of 01.12.2022

The change compared to November is the B-588 "Ufa", which recently joined the Russian Navy.
In total ; 119 units, of which 58 are submarines, not counting "Bratsk".
The list does not include submarines such as TK-208, BS-136 and BS-64 or those that have been in reserve for a long time, like the two 945 "Barracuda" submarines ..
There are no ships with a full displacement of less than 2200 tons on the list, project 21631 "Buyan-M", project 22800 "Karakurt, project 22160, etc. In a way, it's ironic because now even such "small ships" have great offensive power.

Karakurt is most important for black sea, the Ines built at zaliv, zelendolsk, more ship yards

But ships even at pella can sail down through canal to reach sea of azov and black sea

Since the strait is closed to ships

Alas 20380 ships built in black sea are good too

Not sure if they can fit through canal and riverways

Ships and submarines under construction for the Russian Navy.
The news are as follows in relation to the previous lists ;
* The frigate "Admiral Golovko" began sea trials.
* Submarines K-553 "Generalissimus Suvorov" and B-588 "Ufa" did leave this list because they were handed over to the Russian Navy.
* Submarines K-XXX "Emperor Alexander III" and B-587 "Velikiye Luki" were launched.

The list states the assumption that the following units will enter active service this year ;
* K-XXX "Emperor Alexander III" (955A),
* K-571 "Krasnoyarsk (885M),
* K-564 "Arkhanglesk" (885M); The submarine will probably be launched but will not enter active service this year.
* B-586 "Kronshtadt" (677),
* B-XXX "Mozhaysk"; the listing incorrectly indicated that it would be delivered next year. No doubt, it will be this year.
* 22350 "Admiral Golovko"; testing of gas turbines has only recently begun and may continue into next year. The speed of construction of the next frigates depends on the success in the development and reliability of these turbines.
* 20380 "Mercuriy",
* 20380 "Rezkiy".

One thing is certain, and that is that the delivery of submarines is at a much higher level.

These units could be launched on water;

* K-XXX "Knyaz Pozharskiy" (955A);
* K-564 "Arkhanglesk" (885M),
* B or K-XXX "Khabarovsk" (09851)
* K-XXX "Perm" (885M) ; little chance of that happening this year, but again, it's not impossible..
* 22350 "Admiral Isakov",
* 20380 "Strogiy".




DARK GREEN COLOR; handed over to the Russian Navy.
LIGHT GREEN GREEN COLOR; launched, sea trials, state trials
BLUE COLOR; under construction
UNDEFINED COLOR; planned for construction, signed contract for construction..

The list includes 40 ships and submarines (all units have a full displacement of over 2200 tons) under construction, of which 2 have been handed over to the Russian Navy and another 7 have been launched. This means that almost a quarter of the ships and submarines will soon be handed over to the Russian Navy.

I doubt there will be any major issues with the turbines. These things are bench tested for a long time before being put into serial production. What is way more likely is mistakes being made with the reduction gear or something like that.

To Lancelot

And the "izdeliye-30" engines for the Su-57 are bench tested, so they are not yet serially produced, right ?
One is bench testing and the other is in real conditions.
In any case, I did not criticize the 22350 project and the "Golovko" frigate, because I believe that the fact that "Golovko" is in seaworthy condition is more than a good indicator - the project is finally moving in a positive direction.
The most difficult period for frigates 22350 has passed because "Golovko" has sailed.
I do not consider it tragic if the testing of the turbines lasts 2 to 3 years, because something like that happens quite often when it comes to new systems.
The moment the turbines prove their reliability, then we can expect a drastic acceleration of the construction of the 22350 project.
Electronic equipment and all weapon systems were PROVEN on the frigates of that project, so the reliability of the gas turbines remained to be proven.

You have an example of the first 955A submarine, that is, the improved Borei-A K-549 "Knyaz Vladimir", which passed the period from November 17, 2017, when it was launched, until June 12, 2020, when it became active.
Second in line K-552 "Knyaz Oleg" was launched on 16 July 2020 and became operational on 21 December 2021.
Recently, K-553 "Generalissimus Suvorov" (third in line "Borei-A") became active in less than a year after launching, because it was launched on January 11, 2022, and operational status was reached on December 25, 2022. Everything takes time.

Last Delta III SSBN seems withdrawn (reported converted to SSN?) as well as 4 Old Kilos as we have already said

https://navy-korabel.livejournal.com/293386.html

I think the talk that K-44 Ryazan was converted from an SSBN to an SSN as written in Wikipedia is BS.
This submarine is just not needed anymore since there is a new Borei in the Pacific Fleet to replace it.

The four Kilos, two in the Pacific Fleet, and another two in the Northern Fleet, well there were a lot of deliveries of the Improved Kilo to the Pacific Fleet. Four submarines. But the same thing did not happen to the Northern Fleet where the Ladas which were supposed to enter service have not. So I do not know what they are exactly thinking there.

A couple years ago there was a massive emphasis put into upgrading the Black Sea Fleet. Then the Russo-Ukrainian conflict blew up. Now there seems to be a massive emphasis put into upgrading the Pacific Fleet.

Wasn't one of the Delta IIIs converted to mothership for mini subs and the like... a replacement for the India class subs?

I would suspect a Delta IIIs performance as an SSN would not really warrant its conversion and that they have quite a few other types of subs they could upgrade if they need more SSNs even temporarily.

So if they are actually keeping that Delta III I wonder if they decided they needed another "India class" sub and that the conversion of the other Delta III was for a good reason and made sense to they are doing it again.

It certainly makes sense to me that they would want more subs able to operate with mini subs and underwater drones and divers etc etc...

Perhaps this sub has lots of life left in its reactor and it is more use as a mini sub mothership than as an SSBN...

The Pacific Fleet is in dire need for SSN/SSGN's but the Delta III can surely not be considered for attack duties. It is more likely utilized as a training submarine? The K-44 was recently refurbished so it should have a good couple of years left.

I doubt they will rebuild her into a second Orenburg or some kind of rescue submarine though. The Orenburg and the more modern Podmoskov'e are designed for special deep sea operations with naval Spetsnaz on board. and can operate covertly for months on end. The Pr.940 Lenok/India was designed for rescue missions and normally piggy backed two brightly coloured mini subs for the job.

I'm sure they could have used it for covert ops as well but it had very limited underwater endurance and had to come up for air ever so often, negating any sustainable covert role.

I'm sure they could have used it for covert ops as well but it had very limited underwater endurance and had to come up for air ever so often, negating any sustainable covert role.

So critical lesson that future India class types need to be nukes even if they weren't originally designed as motherships and I suspect SSBNs of the Delta family have internal volume capacity for hangars and extra stuff to be carried covertly inside the sub rather than exposed and sitting on its back.

Some of the jobs SSNs do is just listening and intel and creeping around quietly which an SSBN could do anyway with upgraded sonar.

I dare say an SSBN could have its SLBM launch tubes replaced with other vertical launch tube types the way the US is converting some of its subs... just as a cheaper test than trying it with Akulas, which are way too big perhaps?

The K-44 would make for an excellent SSGN with a nice mixture of Tsirkon/Oniks and the new very long range 9M729 cruise missile though. Doubt it will ever happen though. I personally would have loved to see that type of conversion on the mighty Pr.941 Akula but sadly they are all gone now.  

Any long range rescue submarine would have to be nuclear. The advantage of these unique rescue subs is that they can operate unhindered in any weather conditions, and a nuclear powered one would be vital for any Russian sub getting into trouble under the arctic ice.

As far as Orenburg and Podmoskov'e - they had their missile housing removed but still utilize the huge flat surface available on their back for special underwater vessels and drones in a piggy back fashion.

The Akulas are probably too expensive to run and therefore too risky as a test case for such a new type of vessel, perhaps making an experimental SSGN with an SSBN that is to be retired should have been tried 20 years ago... now there is no question the value of long range Russian cruise missiles and hypersonic anti ship or land attack weapons so there is clearly value there... it is a shame they couldn't have tested the idea a long time ago and then they would have the option of keeping an Akula class sub for the role because of its size would make it probably the best option for the role.

The sub was huge and had plenty of recreation and social spaces including several swimming pools, an aviary, and libraries for the mental health of the crew... I would think as a platform to carry thunderbird (nuclear powered unlimited range cruise missiles) as a deterrent it would be most effective operating in very remote locations which would mean very long operational deployments to the southern oceans to attack targets from an unexpected direction would be most effective.

Its crew size could be reduced significantly and the volume of space for missiles increased, but perhaps instead of so many swimming pools and libraries you could have a combined gym/computer lab for LAN games and exercise... so pedalling while playing counterstrike etc etc...

They could do double service as control rooms for unmanned drones operating from the sub with VR consoles.

With a Delta III now apparently available for testing and perhaps use as an SSGN maybe if it is a success they could also use the Delta IVs as they become available too.

Delivery program - 2023

Despite the decrease in shipbuilding activity caused by the priority of the SMO, the annual commissioning program promises to be very busy.
Of the warships of the main classes, the Russian Navy has already received two corvettes, Project 20380 mod. III - "Mercury" (Black Sea Fleet, 13.05) and "Rezkiy" (Pacific Fleet, 14.09), - and by the end of the year it is planned to raise the flag on five more submarines and NK.

1. SSBN pr. 955A "Emperor Alexander III" (Pacific Fleet). Having completed the launch of the Bulava SLBM on 05.11, the cruiser has actually completed the state testing program. All that remains is an audit, raising the flag and, already in 2024, the transfer of the 7th "Borey" (4th "Borey-A") from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet.

2. APKR pr. 885M "Krasnoyarsk" (Pacific Fleet). On 07.11 it became known that a few days earlier the 4th "Yasen" (3rd "Yasen-M") was fired  from an underwater position with KRO missiles during state tests "Onyx" and "Caliber". Forecast for the near future - see paragraph 1.

3. PLB (DEPL) pr. 677 "Kronstadt" (SF). The last official message (https://structure.mil.ru/structure/forces/navy/news/more.htm?id=12477059@egNews) about the progress of state tests of the submarine is dated 24.08, however, according to SCAP (port captain service system) St. Petersburg, after that "Kronstadt" went to sea twice more (last (http://skap.pasp.ru/Move/InOutMoveList/381082?harb=SPB) exit - 06.11).

The announced transfer to the fleet of another submarine pr. 677 - "Velikiye Luki" - most likely will not happen this year, since the boat has not yet left on factory trials.

4. PLB (diesel-electric submarine) project 636.3 "Mozhaisk" (Pacific Fleet). 03.09 during the ZHI, the boat sank to 190 m, after which, according to SCAP, it went out to sea for another 4 times. The final exit began on 10/27 and ended on 11/02. There are no visible problems with the transfer of the submarine to the fleet.

5. FR pr. 22350 "Admiral Golovko" (SF). On March 31, the frigate completed the inter-fleet transition and arrived  in Severomorsk to continue (complete) ZHI and GI. It was planned that in mid-October the ship would return to the Northern Shipyard for inspection and transfer to the Navy, but this did not happen. Let's hope that the tests, which have been going on for a whole year, will be completed in a timely manner.

49 more days until the end of the year.. half of this will not happen..
God grant that I am wrong and that everything is delivered.

As far as I know, canals and locks were built to make possible passing ships of up to 5.000 tons displacement!?

When shifting ships with draughts that are too big to get through the canal they often fit them with floatation devices around their hulls so they sit higher in the water and can pass through the shallower areas.

You can't put a weight limit on the draft simply because a ship that is 50m long but weighs 2,000 tons will sit very very low in the water and wont go through, yet a river barge that is very long but also very shallow might hold 5,000 tons but sit very shallow in the water because it is 300m long.

I would think an upgrade project to dredge the waterways might be a useful new project to expand the size and number of ships that can go through.

Certainly a barge like vessel that holds long range land attack cruise missiles would be a rather interesting type of vessel in a conflict with HATO. Being mobile it would not be the easiest target to hit but could very rapidly launch a massive strike on targets thousands of kms away.

Especially if they are scramjet powered.
