Amur Shipyard Launched Russian Navy's 6th Project 20380 Steregushchiy-class Corvette
 
The Amur Shipyard floated the Gromky corvette of project 20380. "Exactly a week ago we handed over the Sovershenny corvette to the Navy. It passed all test trials and is on combat duty now. Today we launch a new corvette - the Gromky. The process is underway, technologies are mastered, warship production and commissioning rhythm is streamlined," Khabarovsk regional Governor Vyacheslav Shport said.

He added the Sovershenny corvette was highly praised by the operators. The Amur Shipyard is building four corvettes for the Navy. Three of them have to be handed over in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Multipurpose corvettes of project 20380 are close sea zone warships capable of fighting surface warships and submarines and providing fire support to landing operations. The full displacement is close to 2.2 thousand tons, the speed is 27 knots and autonomous navigation range is 4 thousand miles. The main armaments comprise anti-ship and anti-aircraft Uran and Redut missile complexes, artillery and anti-submarine weapons. The corvettes carry a helicopter.

Stealth technologies are used in construction as well as the latest solutions to decrease the physical field of the warship. In particular, the radar signature was considerably decreased due to low-combustible radar-absorptive fiberglass used in the superstructure, as well as the architecture of the hull and superstructure.
