Marshal Vasilevsky was a Udaloy-class destroyer of the Russian Navy.[2]
Development and design[]
Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, multi-role combatants. The concept of a specialized surface ship was developed by Soviet designers.
They are 156m in length, 17.3m in beam and 6.5m in draught.[3]
Construction and career[]
Marshal Vasilevsky was laid down on 22 April 1979, and launched on 29 December 1981 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg. She was commissioned on 8 December 1983. On December 12, 1983, the naval flag was raised for the first time, and this date has since been celebrated on Marshal Vasilevsky as the Day of the Ship. January 18, 1984 included in the KSF.
In the 1990s, he was a member of the 10th Brigade of Large Anti-Submarine Ships of the 2nd Division of Anti-Submarine Ships of the Kola Flotilla of various forces of the Northern Fleet. Military unit number 31247.
From 1996 to 1998 the ship was based at berth 20 in Severomorsk and ensured survivability and decommissioning of the Udaloy BOD. At the end of 1997, the reduced crew of the Udaloy was transferred to the Marshal Vasilevsky. Due to the full depletion of the engine resource, it was moored at the berth with a full ammunition load in the city of Severomorsk.
The last time he went to sea in April 1997. During the exit, the ship's hydroacoustics recorded contact with a foreign submarine lasting 10 minutes. By order of the commander of the Kola flotilla, the ship's hydroacoustics watch, which recorded the contact, received a short-term vacation.
In 2004, the towers of the AK-100 artillery complex were dismantled from the ship. The towers were used for installation on the VPK Vice-Admiral Kulakov during the repair.
On December 11, 2006 (according to other sources, February 10, 2007), the naval flag was solemnly lowered on the ship, and the crew was disbanded.
