The Ivan Gren class, Russian designation Project 11711, is a class of landing ship that is being built for the Russian Navy. The class was to be composed of two vessels, Ivan Gren and Pyotr Morgunov, but later it was announced that the Russian Navy intends to acquire several more vessels of a modified design.

The vessels of the class have a displacement of 5,000–6,000 tons and are able to carry up to 13 main battle tanks or 36 armoured personnel carriers and 300 marines. [5] The first ship of the class, Ivan Gren, was laid down on 23 December 2004. The hull of Ivan Gren was completed by the end of November 2010. On 9 October 2010 a contract to increase work on the vessel was signed. [6] The ship was launched on 18 May 2012 and was scheduled to be delivered to the Russian Navy by 2014. [7] [8] Delivery of Ivan Gren was delayed until 2015 while the second ship of the class, Pyotr Morgunov, was laid down in October 2014. [9] Ivan Gren started its sea trials in June 2016 in the Baltic Sea.[ citation needed ] According to Russian sources, the delaying of commissioning of the lead ship was due to several design faults that includes hull stability and engine problems. [10]

On 3 May 2018, the lead ship of the class, Ivan Gren, successfully completed its sea trials held in the Baltic Sea. The warship's systems and complexes were checked by the state acceptance commission of Russia's Defense Ministry. [11] Ivan Gren was accepted into service on 20 June 2018. [12]

Initially, there were no plans to build more ships following Pyotr Morgunov. [13] However, in December 2018, it was reported by the head of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation that Russia plans to order additional two or three modified Ivan Gren-class landing ships. [14] [15] On 9 April 2019, Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu announced two more Project 11711 landing ships will be laid down on 23 April 2019. [16]

On 23 April 2019, two modified Project 11711 landing ships, Vladimir Andreev and Vasily Trushin, were laid down during a ceremony at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad. [17] The two new ships differ with modified superstructure, increased displacement, 16D49 engines , larger dimensions and one single superstructure and capability to carry the Kamov Ka-52K carrier-based attack helicopters. The displacement of the enlarged vessels is reported to be up to 40 % heavier than the baseline version or as heavy as up to 9240 tons (though some sources suggest a displacement of only 7,000 to 8,000 tons) [18] and the amphibious lift capacity has grown by 100 % (to 26 tanks). [19]

Pyotr Morgunov was commissioned on 23 December 2020. On 30 January 2021 she arrived at its permanent base in Severomorsk under the command of the Captain 2nd rank Vyacheslav Solovyov. [20] [21]

From February 2022, Pyotr Morgunov was deployed in the Black Sea and participating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [22]

On 25 December 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that seven more vessels are planned to be produced by 2035. [1]

The Krivak class, Soviet designation Project 1135 Burevestnik, are a series of frigates and patrol ships built in the Soviet Union primarily for the Soviet Navy since 1970. Later some sub-branches, like the Nerey (Nereus) were designed for coastal patrol by the KGB Border Troops. Until 1977, the ships in the class were considered to be large anti-submarine warfare vessels.

Lada-class submarine Russian diesel electric patrol submarines

Lada class, Russian designation Project 677 Lada is the new advanced class of diesel-electric attack submarine designed by the Russian Rubin Design Bureau. A program to develop a "fourth generation" diesel-electric submarine, it aimed to produce a highly improved version of the Project 636 with better acoustic signature, new combat systems and possibly air-independent propulsion. However, in 2019, Alexander Buzakov, the head of the Admiralty Shipyard, indicated that there were no plans to equip the Lada class with an air-independent propulsion system. In July 2022 it was reported that work on an electrochemical generator to produce hydrogen from diesel fuel and oxygen was continuing and that the Rubin Central Design Bureau signed a new contract in 2019 to continue work. This was scheduled to be completed by the mid-2020s. In 2023, the decision was taken to decommission and scrap the lead ship of the class, the Sankt Peterburg due to the very high costs of modernising the submarine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pacific Fleet (Russia)</span> Russian Navy fleet

The Pacific Fleet is the Russian Navy fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Established in 1731 as part of the Imperial Russian Navy, the fleet was known as the Okhotsk Military Flotilla (1731–1856) and Siberian Military Flotilla (1856–1918), formed to defend Russian interests in the Russian Far East region along the Pacific coast. In 1918 the fleet was inherited by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, then the Soviet Union in 1922 as part of the Soviet Navy, being reformed several times before being disbanded in 1926. In 1932 it was re-established as the Pacific Fleet, and was known as the Red Banner Pacific Fleet after World War II as it had earned the Order of the Red Banner. In the Soviet years, the fleet was also responsible for the Soviet Navy's operations in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Red Banner Pacific Fleet was inherited by the Russian Federation as part of the Russian Navy and its current name was adopted.
