Russian Black Sea Fleet to get 3 surface ships, two submarines in 2015
The
Russian Black Sea Fleet counts on getting three surface ships of different
types and two diesel-electric submarines in 2015, the fleet's captain
Vyacheslav Trukhachyov told reporters. According to the source, it's
expected that at least one Project 11356 top-of-the-line frigate, the
Admiral Grigorovich, will enter service in 2015.

The second vessel of the
project, the Admiral Essen, is being constructed at the Yantar shipyard
in Kaliningrad. Trukhachyov reminded that a total of six ships of
that class are going to be built for the Black Sea Fleet in the coming
years.
Besides, the fleet is expected
to receive two small-size missile ships, the Zelyoniy Dol and the
Serpukhov, whose construction is being finalized at the Tatarstan-based
Zelenodolsky shipyard.
Two new Project 636.3 diesel-electric submarines (Kilo-class), the
Novorossiysk and the Rostov-on-Don, are also expected to be commissioned
by the fleet. Also, in 2015 the Black Sea Fleet sailors should be
introduced to a modern tug boat “Professor Nikolay Muru”
(project 22870).
The Fleet received more
than ten motor vessels and auxiliary ships over the past year and
a half, among them anti-sabotage motor boats, speed patrol boats,
diving boats and tugs.
