LARGE SUBMARINE "MAGADAN" BUILT AT JSC "ADMIRALTY SHIPYARDS" ARRIVED AT VLADIVOSTOK

Large diesel-electric submarine Magadan"of project 636 arrived at Vladivostok. The inter-fleet voyage from Saint-Petersburg to the port of registry was performed along the Northern Sea Route.

"Magadan", the third submarine of the series for the Pacific Fleet, was delivered to the RF Navy last year in November.

The series construction contract was signed in September of 2016. It continued the implementation of the long-term plan of the Russian Ministry of Defense for restoring the combat readiness of the Russian Navy and of the program for improving diesel-electric submarines. Today the construction of the series is approaching the completion.

"Ufa" is the fourth submarine in the series for the Pacific Fleet, it was laid down in November of 2019 with participation of RF Navy Commander-In-Chief Nikolay Evmenov. At present, the submarine is in the process of the state trials taking place at the training grounds of the Baltic Fleet. The experts from JSC "Admiralty Shipyards" are verifying the operation of the vessel’s devices, mechanisms and equipment, including the sonar and navigation complexes. Besides, the submarine is engaged into performing deep-sea dives, and the Shipyard’s specialists, together with the crew, assess the submarine's controllability at different navigation depths. Upon completion of the state trials, "Ufa" will go to the Shipyards for revision and finishing.

The fifth and sixth submarines of the series – "Mozhaysk" and "Yakutsk" – were laid down at JSC "Admiralty Shipyards" with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in August of 2021. Today the submarines are in the active stage of construction.

The submarines of the modified project 636.6 have a higher (compared to the previous projects) combat effectiveness. Optimal balance of acoustic covertness and target acquisition range, state-of-the-art inertial navigation complex, modern computer aided data management and control system along with powerful fast-response torpedo-missile armament ensure the global leadership of this class vessels in conventional submarine shipbuilding. The Admiralty Shipyards are the undisputed leader in the construction of submarines of this class, also providing warranty and after-sales service.
