Project 1164 Atlant (after the mythological figure "Atlas" ), designated by NATO as the Slava class , is a class of guided missile cruisers of the Soviet and later the Russian navy . The ships are capable of attacking aircraft carrier formations and other large ship targets from distances of up to 550 kilometers with cruise missiles.

history

Marshal Ustinov in 1989 in Norfolk

With the appearance of the Slawa class with a missile battery consisting of 16 anti-ship missiles of the type P-500 Basalt in fixed, forward-sloping launchers, the Soviet Union received ships that were superior to Western forces in terms of firepower in their ability to combat sea targets. To date, this class in the Russian Navy is only surpassed by the Kirov class in terms of firepower.

The Slava class was developed to attack enemy naval units. The type ship Slawa was put into service with the Black Sea Fleet in 1982 . 1986 was followed by Marshal Ustinov ( Маршал Устинов ), who came to the Northern Fleet , and in 1990 the Chervona Ukraina ( Червона Украйна , "red Ukraine"), who began their service with the Pacific Fleet . A fourth ship, the Admiral Flota Lobow (" Flottenadmiral Lobow "), should follow in 1995, but is still unfinished in Nikolayev . In 1995 the Slava was renamed Moskva ( Москва , " Moscow "), the Chervona Ukraina in Varyag ( Варяг , " Varangian "). The Marshal Ustinov was the port from 1989 Norfolk and became the first ship of the Soviet fleet, the visited an American naval base.

The guided missile cruisers of Project 1164 sailing under the Russian flag survived the collapse of the Soviet Union, were overhauled every four years and were frequently observed during maneuvers. In 2003 the Moscow River took part in an exercise with the Indian Navy. The Marshal Ustinov took part in all major maneuvers of the Northern Fleet from 2000 to 2004 and the Varyag in an exercise in the Pacific. The ships were developed as a security against a possible failure of the Kirov- class and their future is secured due to their more economical maintenance compared to the Kirov- class. With appropriate maintenance and possible rearmament, the ships can remain in service with the Russian Navy until 2030.

Armament

P-1000 starting container

Vertical launch container for S-300F

The main armament of the Slava class consists of 16 anti-ship guided missiles of the type P-1000 (NATO code name: SS-N-12 "Sandbox"). The guided weapons are housed in eight double starters on both sides of the front ship superstructure. They reach a range of up to 700 km, on the "Marshal Ustinow" with new launch containers up to 1,000 km, and can optionally be equipped with a conventional 1000 kg warhead or a 350 kt nuclear warhead.

For long-range air defense eight eight -fold starters of the S-300F system (NATO code name: SA-N-6) are installed. The missiles have a range of 90 km and can attack targets up to a height of 25 km. The system can be used against aircraft, drones and anti-ship missiles. The ships of the Slava class are equipped with launch tubes for 64 of these missiles.

The air defense in the short-range area is carried out by two double starters of the 4K33 Osa-M system . The missiles can attack targets at a distance of up to 10 km and an altitude of 5 km. Both planes and helicopters can be fought.

At the bow of the ship is an AK-130 twin gun . It has a maximum range of about 23 km and can be used against ships, land targets, aircraft and also against approaching anti-ship missiles. The cadence is 10-40 rounds / min per run.

Six six-barrel Gatling guns of the type AK-630 are installed as a close-range defense system. They achieve an effective range of around 3000 m and a theoretical rate of fire of 3000 rounds / min.

Two twelve-tube depth bomb launchers of the type RBU-6000 and two five-fold torpedo launchers are installed for anti-submarine defense . The RBU-6000 has a caliber of 213 mm. The projectile weight is 110 kg, of which the warhead makes up 25 kg. Submarines can thus be fought at a distance of up to 6000 m and a depth of approx. 500 m. In addition to normal torpedoes, the torpedo tubes are also able to use the weapons of the RPK-6 Wodopad-NK anti- submarine complex and of the universal Kal rocket complex.

Hull and drive

The ships of the Slava class are 186 m long, 20.8 m wide and have a draft of 7.6–9.3 m. A ship displaces around 10,000 tons as standard, and around 12,500 tons when fully loaded. The ships are powered by a COGOG system . They have four main turbines with a total output of 90,000 hp and two auxiliary turbines with a total output of 20,000 hp. The ships can thus reach a top speed of around 32 knots. At 30 knots the range is about 2500 nautical miles , with 18 knots about 6800 nautical miles.

The Marshal Ustinov was overhauled since 2011 in the shipyard "Swjesdotschka" in Severodvinsk and modernized. The Fregat-M radar was replaced by the more modern EASA radar Fregat-M2M, which is optimized for low-flying targets, and the surveillance radar was also replaced by the newer Podberjosowik . Marshal Ustinov undertook test drives in the fourth quarter of 2016 and is due to be put back into service in early 2017. Some sources suspect that the rocket armament was also replaced by the modern Calibr or P-800 Oniks .

The Admiral Flota Lobov went the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992 the property of Ukraine on and was in Ukraine ( Україна renamed). Work on the Ukraine was stopped in 1996, resumed in 1999 and stopped again in 2001. In the 2000s, the ship was 95 percent complete and Ukraine was looking for a buyer. Russia was very interested in the Ukraine , but to date there has been no sale. In 2010 the ship was renamed 1164 , which was interpreted as a possibility of an early sale to Russia. However, in March 2017 it became known that the now 30-year-old unfinished torso was to be scrapped. The shipyard, which has since been renamed "Northern Mykolajiwer Shipyard" and belongs to the state-owned Ukrainian armaments company UkrObronProm, tries to prevent scrapping and to obtain funding for the completion and the payment of the salaries that have been outstanding since 2015. Completion costs are assumed to be US $ 30 million in 2018. A potential buyer could be India.
