History

The first two Project 23131 ships, serial numbers "301" and "302", were laid down during a keel laying ceremony at the Zaliv shipyard, Kerch on 26 December 2014, planned to enter service in 2018. [1] [2] However, in February 2015, it was reported that construction of the two tankers had been halted, and that the sections that had been laid down in 2014 had been subsequently cut into scrap metal. [3] [4] In November 2018, Zaliv shipyard reported that the formation of the ships' hulls and superstructures was complete and that work was currently underway to prepare the two hulls for electrical installations.

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.
