Boats of the Soviet and Russian Navy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is intended to give an overview of boats that were in service in the Soviet and Russian navies and the border troops of the USSR and the border troops of Russia . The Russian classification is used, according to which sea vessels with a displacement of up to 500 t are usually referred to as boats ( Russian катер ) and larger vessels ( Russian корабль ). The large hydrofoil boats of projects 1240, 1141 and 11451 are often referred to as ships, but are listed here.

Boats whose main purpose is laying or clearing mines are not included.

Project 122

Dimensions: 52.2 m × 6.5 m × 2.2 m
Displacement: 302 ts standard
Drive: 3 diesel engines type 9D with 3300 HP, 19 kn
Crew: 60 (including 4 officers)

The first units of Project 122 were built in 1941. During the war, however, the project was modified several times, including changing the main gun. From the modified 122bis project , 157 units were finally built between 1948 and 1956.

The main shipyards for this class were the Sevmasch shipyards in Severodvinsk and Zelenodolsk .

Boats of this class were delivered not only to the Soviet border troops, but also to Albania, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Indonesia, Poland and Romania. Fourteen boats were built under license in China.

The main task of these ships was submarine hunting . A hull-mounted Tamir sonar was installed for this purpose.

The armament of Project 122bis consisted of:

  • an 85 mm type 90-K gun with 230 rounds of ammunition in the bow
  • two 37 mm anti-aircraft guns with a total of 2000 rounds of ammunition
  • three 12.7 mm coaxial machine guns with a total of 12,000 rounds of ammunition
  • two depth charges racks for conventional depth charges
  • two RBU-900 , RBU-1200 or RBU-1800 water bomb launchers

Project 123

Dimensions: 22 m × 4.7 m × 1.5 m
Displacement: 22 ts standard
Drive: 2 diesel engines, 2400 HP, 42 kn
Crew: 12
a Komsomolez as a monument

.

A total of 349 boats of this class were built in the Soviet Union between 1946 and 1951. Three versions are known, 123bis , M-123bis and 123K Komsomolets ( Russian Комсомолец ). However, it is unclear which type designation is assigned to which design. The boats were built in Tyumen and Feodosiya .

A large version was built with two 533 mm torpedo tubes, better seaworthiness , a sea endurance of five to six days and a range of 1000 nautical miles.

In addition, a small version was built, which was armed with two 450 mm torpedo tubes. This only had a range of 500 nautical miles and a sea endurance of 24 to 36 hours, but was designed so that it could be transported on roads with a low loader .

Both versions were armed with two to three double-barreled 12.7 mm or 14.5 mm machine guns and equipped with radar. Some were equipped with two depth charges and some could carry mines instead of torpedoes.

Boats of this class have been exported to many countries. Boats of this class were also built in North Korea ( Iwon class) and probably in China.

Project 125

Dimensions: 25 m × 4.9 m × 2.6 m
Displacement: 60 ts standard
Drive: 2 diesel and gas turbines, 2 screws, 68 kn

This was the further development of project 184 . With two diesel engines of the type M-503 with 8000 HP and a gas turbine , the boats reached up to 68 knots. In tests, the prototype still reached 45 knots at sea ​​strength 3.

The armament consisted of two 533-mm torpedo tubes and two double-barreled 14.5-mm machine guns .

Two type 125 torpedo speedboats were built for the Soviet Navy. Then sixteen patrol speedboats of the type 125P were built for the border troops of the USSR . Some of these units had a diving sonar , as is also used in anti-submarine helicopters.

Project 133

Dimensions: 40 m × 7.6 m × 1.9 m
Displacement: 180 ts standard
Drive: 2 M70 gas turbines , 20,000 hp, 36 kn
Crew: 10

16 boats from Project 133 were built between 1983 and 1989 at the Feodosiya shipyard to replace the patrol boats from Project 205P Tarantul in the Black Sea. All units were delivered to the border troops.

The armament consisted of two 406-mm torpedo tubes , a 76-mm AK-176 gun in the bow, a six - barreled 30-mm AK-630 anti-aircraft gun in the stern and a 55-mm grenade launcher.

Project 184

Dimensions: 21.6 m × 5 m × 2.1 m
Displacement: 31.5 ts standard
Drive: 3 M-50F diesel engines, 3600 HP, 3 screws, 46 kn
Crew: 10

Project 184 is a prototype class of torpedo speedboats with a speed of up to 46 knots. Other sources speak of hydrofoils with speeds of up to 64 kn. Two boats were built from 1956 onwards, but series production was not approved because the performance did not meet expectations. A further development was the 125 Ptschela project .

The armament consisted of two 533-mm torpedo tubes and a double-barreled 14.5-mm machine gun .

Project 191

Dimensions: 25.9 m × 4.3 m × 0.7 m
Displacement: 55 t normal
Drive: two diesel engines each 600 HP, 16 kn
Crew: ?

119 river gunboats of projects 191 and 191M were built between 1947 and 1952 in Leningrad and Perm. Originally the drive consisted of two V12 diesel engines, which were also used in the T-34 tank. The armament consisted of a tank turret of the T-34 with the 85 mm cannon and two 12.7 mm machine guns.

A larger variant with three engines and two armored turrets was also planned, but was not implemented.

Later ships were modified. The tank engines were replaced by two M-50 diesel engines with 1000 hp each, which allowed a top speed of 24 knots. The machine guns were replaced by 14.5 mm.

The side armor was 7 mm thick, the top armor 10 mm thick.

Two boats of an enlarged version, Project 192 , were also built. These had reinforced armor and three M-50 engines. After that, the construction of gunboats was stopped.

Project 194

Dimensions: 27 m × 6.2 m × 1.7 m
Displacement: 110 ts standard
Drive: see text
Crew: 27

Unfortunately, little is known about this class of submarine hunting . Two boats were built in Zelenodolsk in 1955. The armament consists of a 45 mm and a 37 mm gun and two 12.7 mm machine guns. There are 2 depth charge racks with 18 depth charges and a Tamir sonar .

The drive consists of 2 M-50F diesel engines with 1200 hp each and one M-50E diesel engine with 600 hp, which drive three screws. The maximum speed is 24 knots, the range 1500 nm at 10.5 knots.

Project 200

Dimensions: 23.7 m × 4.7 m × 2.5 m
Displacement: 48.2 t
Drive: 2 petrol engines, 2500 HP, 38 kn
Crew: ?

During the Second World War, the Soviet Union began producing torpedo boats based on the Higgins boats supplied by the Lending and Lease Act . The hull shape was very similar to the Higgins boat.

19 ships of the classes TM-200 and TM-200bis were built in Rybinsk from 1943 onwards. These had a steel hull and gasoline engines. The armament consisted of two 533-mm torpedo tubes and two double-barreled 14.5-mm machine guns .

167 ships of the classes TD-200 and TD-200bis were built in Leningrad . These had a wooden hull and a diesel drive with three screws. The armament corresponded to the version TM-200. From 1950, 46 ships were equipped with radar and IFF (TD-200B).

63 ships were equipped as anti- submarine boats and designated OD-200s.

The US Navy initially called this class the 603 class .

Project 201

Dimensions: 42 m × 6.1 m × 1.9 m (without wing )
Displacement: 170 ts standard
Drive: Diesel engines with 7500 HP, 3 screws, 28 kn maximum
Crew: 31 people

The Project 201 was the successor of 122bis project . Much faster, smaller and with a smaller crew, the armament was even more geared towards the main area of ​​operation, the submarine hunt . During the construction period the armament was modified several times and so there were the projects 201 , 201M , 201P and 201T .

124 units were built in Zelenodolsk and Kerch between 1957 and 1968 . Boats were exported to Albania, Algeria, Egypt, Bulgaria, China, the GDR, Iraq, Cuba, North Korea, South Yemen and Vietnam. In North Korea twelve boats were built under license.

The armament of Project 201M consisted of a double-barreled 25 mm gun in the bow and in the stern, four RBU-1200 water bomb launchers and two racks for conventional depth charges. The first ships of this class ( Project 201 ) had no reactive depth charges, but a 45 mm gun in the stern. These ships were also known by the NATO code name Mischa class . The last ships in the class ( Project 201T ) had no stern gun, but two 406 mm torpedo tubes and shorter depth charges racks.

A hull-mounted Tamir-2 sonar was installed for submarine hunting . The boats of the export version had the older Tamir-1 .

Project 368

Dimensions: 29.6 m × 5.8 m × 1.5 m
Displacement: 90 t maximum
Drive: 2 M50 diesels, 2400 hp, 18 kn
Crew: 10

34 boats on this project were built between 1953 and 1956, mainly for export. the armament consists of a double-barreled 14.5 mm machine gun .

Project 1041Z

Dimensions: 48.5 m × 9.2 m × 3.5 m
Displacement: 357 t maximum
Drive: 3 diesel, 14,400 hp, 3 screws, 31 kn
Crew: 36 (4 officers)

Series production of this patrol boat began in 1989. By 2004, 25 units were built in Vladivostok , Saint Petersburg and Yaroslavl . Three of them are in service with the Russian Navy and twenty with the border troops. Two were exported to Vietnam.

The armament consists of two 403-mm torpedo tubes, a 76-mm AK-176 gun in the bow, a six-barrel 30-mm anti-aircraft gun of the AK-630 M type, two PK-16 decoys and two depth charge racks with twelve depth charges. One unit has a second AK-630M gun.

The electronic equipment consists of airspace and surface radar Peel Cone, fire control radar Bass Tilt for the guns, Palm-Frond-B navigation radar, IFF transmitter High Pole B and the VDS sonar Rat Tail. All designations are NATO code names.

Project 1141

Dimensions: 50 m × 9.9 m × 4 m (without wing )
Displacement: 465 t
Drive: see text
Crew: 45 people

The prototype of a class of hydrofoil anti- submarine speedboats entered service in 1977. The largest hydrofoil at the time had fully submerged hydrofoils analogous to project 1240 and was developed in parallel. A series production did not come about for the time being, only from 1986 two further modified boats were built, which are referred to as Project 11451 .

After the test phase, the prototype was put into service with the Black Sea Fleet under the name Aleksandr Kunachowitsch . It was named after the chief engineer of the Zelenodolsk design office , who developed the project.

The boat has a CODOG drive . A water jet drive with two diesel engines of the type M-401 with 2400 hp is used at speeds of up to 8 kn . At higher speeds, three gas turbines of the type NK-12M (36,000 HP) take over, which drive three pairs of propellers (one pusher and one pusher propeller). The top speed is 60 knots, the range 1230 miles at 8 knots.

The boat originally had two 406-mm quadruple torpedo tubes and two six-barreled 30-mm anti-aircraft guns of the type AK-630 . In 1991 it was converted as a test platform for the new anti-submarine guided missiles RPK-9 Medwedka (SS-N-29, two 533 mm quadruple starters). In 1994 the boat was decommissioned and later scrapped.

Project 1204

Dimensions: 27.7 m × 4.32 m × 2 m
Displacement: 77 t maximum
Drive: two diesel engines M-50F, 3600 HP, 24 kn
Crew: 14th

Work on the river monitors for Project 1204 began in 1965, presumably as a result of the intensifying Sino-Soviet conflict . The Amur River formed the border between China and the Soviet Union for a long stretch.

119 boats were built in Kerch and Khabarovsk between 1967 and 1974 . The ships were used on the Amur , Ussuri , the Danube and in the Caspian Flotilla .

The armament consisted of the turret of the light tank PT-76 with a 76-mm cannon, two double-barreled 14.5-mm machine guns, a BM-14 -17 rocket launcher and four 30-mm grenade launchers. The vertical armor is 10 mm thick, the deck and bridge deck are 5 mm thick.

Later boats had a 25 mm gun instead of the 14.5 mm machine gun.

Project 1208

Dimensions: 56 m × 9 m × 1.45 m
Displacement: 450 t maximum
Drive: 4600 hp, 23 kn
Crew: 32

Work on this large river monitor began in 1967, but at that time there was no need for such ships. The prototype wasn't completed until 1975 and 21 units were built between 1978 and 1990.

The armament consisted of two armored turrets with 100 mm or 115 mm cannons, two six- barreled 30-mm guns AK-630 , two double-barreled 12.7-mm machine guns , two 30-mm grenade launchers and one 140-mm - PK-2 flare launcher.

The armor was 35 mm thick.

Two boats of this class were still in service in the Amur flotilla in 2004 , the others are in the reserve.

Project 1240

Dimensions: 56.6 m × 10.2 m × 2.34 m (without wing )
Displacement: 348 ts standard
Drive: gas turbines , 18,000 hp, 4 screws, 61.3 kn
Crew: 35

This class was developed in 1977 by the Almaz design office in Leningrad. Unlike the earlier Soviet boats, this was the first type with fully submerged hydrofoils . Tests showed that the ship  can handle sea ​​strength 5 at a speed of over 50 kn with weapons ready for use.

The armament consisted of two double starters for anti-ship missiles P-120 Malachit (SS-N-9 Siren), a double starter for anti-aircraft missiles 4K33 Osa-M and a six-barrel 30 mm anti-aircraft gun of the type AK-630 .

The production of this class was probably too complex and expensive, so serial production was not started. Replacements were corvettes of the Nanuchka III class . The prototype was stationed in the Black Sea Fleet and was decommissioned in 1990. In 1992 it sank after a fire in the port of Sevastopol , was lifted and then dismantled.

Grif- class boats of the Ukrainian Coast Guard in the port of Odessa

The ships of the Grif class have been built since 1970 and are used both by the Russian border troops and in other countries. Over 110 units were exported.

The armament consists of a double-barreled 12.7 mm machine gun in the bow. Some units have a second machine gun in the rear, most have a headlight instead. Some older ships, which were intended for the Soviet border troops, had one or two 14.5 mm machine guns of the type 2M-7 instead.

Older boats have two M50 diesel engines, newer boats have replaced them with more modern M-240s with 1500 hp each.

Two further variants are offered for export. Project 1400ME is an extended version with a six- barreled 30 mm gun of the type AK-630 M. Project 1400.6 is a wing variant with CODAG propulsion .

MPK-220 Wladimirez 2010 in the Southern Bay in Sevastopol

In the 1980s, it was planned to build a larger series of U-Hunting express boats based on Project 1141 . But only two were built until the collapse of the Soviet Union , after which this project was canceled.

The dimensions correspond to those of project 1141 . A COGAG drive with a gas turbine with 10,000 HP for cruising and two additional gas turbines with 20,000 HP for maximum speed ensures an increased cruising speed. The range is now 1600 nm at 14 kn.

The boats have two 406 mm quadruple torpedo tubes like the prototype. The secondary armament has been changed and now consists of a 76 mm AK-176 gun , a six-barrel 30 mm AK-630 anti- aircraft gun, a Strela-3 F (SA-N-8) anti- aircraft missile launcher and one PK-16 decoy launcher.

Both ships were put into service with the Black Sea Fleet , but in 2008 only one boat, the MPK-220 Wladimirez, is active. The MPK-215 was decommissioned in 2001.
