Construction and career

This landing ship was built by Gdańsk Shipyard in Gdańsk. She was commissioned into the Pacific Fleet on 10 April 1991. [1]

On 30 August 2004, BDK-11 made a goodwill visit to Kure, Japan, and on 4 September, joint exercises were held with the Japan Self-Defense Forces PASSEX. [2] In August 2005, BDK-11 visited the port of Qingdao, China, after which large-scale exercises were held with the People's Liberation Army Navy. [2] The exercises were held in three stages: in Vladivostok, at the Lanyatai training ground (East China's Shandong province) and in the Yellow Sea. [3] [4]

On 24 January 2006, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Russian Federation Vladimir Masorin signed an order to give the name Peresvet to the landing ship BDK-11 in honor of the hero of the Battle of Kulikovo. [5] The naming took place with the assistance of the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Orthodox Church. The ceremony itself took place on 17 February 2006. [5] In 2007, Peresvet again participated in the "Campaign of Memory" to the places of military glory of Pacific warriors. [2]

In July 2010, at the Klerk amphibious assault range on the Klerk Peninsula, military exercises were held, which became the largest in the last 20 years. [6] Peresvet was involved in a combat readiness exercise of the Eastern Military District Vostok-2014. [7] On 12 November 2020, the ship returned to Vladivostok after a five-month deployment. It was involved in the Ocean Shield-2020, during which, for the first time in history, an amphibious assault landed on the unequipped coast of the Chukotka Peninsula. [8]
