Trials of Russian Navy Project 11711 Amphibious Assault Ship Ivan Gren to Resume in June
Factory trials of the large amphibious assault ship Ivan Gren suspended over problems with its degaussing system will restart in June this year, Project Management Director at the Yantar Shipyard Roman Fedyunin said.

"The Ivan Gren, like the (frigate) Admiral Makarov, is set to take part in the parade on the occasion of Russia’s Navy Day in St. Petersburg on July 30. In view of this, the shipyard has prepared a specified schedule of trials in order to resume them in June. We understand that we’ll have to do everything within quite a short period of time and, of course, the warship’s participation in the parade will noticeably influence the pace of works. But we must deliver the warship this year," the shipyard’s newspaper Vperyod quoted Fedyunin as saying.
"Our proposal will be shortly examined in the defense ministry and we hope for a positive result," he added.
Factory trials of the large amphibious ship Ivan Gren were suspended in late October 2016 over problems with its degaussing system and the warship had to return to the shipyard.
