“Surf” in a puddle: Ukrainians about the Russian helicopter carrier being built in Kerch

28

July 16, 2020, at the Zaliv plant in Kerch (Crimea), the laying of the first universal landing helicopter carrier project 23900 “Surf” is due to take place, writes the Ukrainian information and consulting company Defense Express.


DE notes that a ship with a maximum displacement of 25 thousand tons should receive the name "Sevastopol". It is intended for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. In total, it is planned to build two such ships for the needs of the Navy. The history of this project is closely connected with the French UDK type Mistral, with a displacement of almost 22 thousand tons.

After the French refused to cooperate in 2015, the Russians finalized the project. It is known that Russian ships will be slightly larger than French, but their exact characteristics are not disclosed. The construction of two units by 2027 and their commissioning is estimated at $ 1,4 billion.

It is specified that the Zaliv factory has not built such ships before. He specialized in the creation of patrol ships and tankers. It was there that the only ice-class Sevmorput nuclear-powered lighter carrier was created.

According to DE, the Surf ships may be stuck in a puddle. That is, in the opinion of the Ukrainian publication, the Soviet admirals called the Black Sea - they say, ships of such a displacement there simply has nothing to do. Therefore, they passed the Bosphorus only once - when they went from the slipway to the place of permanent service.

Russia plans to use the future Sevastopol not only in the Black Sea, for which it is really big, but also in the Mediterranean Sea. There, he must, together with the Moscow missile cruiser, perform various tasks. At the same time, Ankara, given the conflict of interest, could harm Moscow's plans. According to the Montreux Convention, there is a restriction on the passage of ships through the Black Sea Straits, “which are intended primarily for the transport and use of decked aircraft at sea”.

The USSR Black Sea Fleet had two anti-submarine helicopter carriers, based in the Black Sea. However, Turkey then agreed with the position of the USSR that these are just anti-submarine ships with the possibility of placing aircraft and therefore they can pass through the straits. However, now Ankara can change its point of view.

    According to the Montreux Convention, there is a restriction on the passage of ships through the Black Sea Straits, “which are intended primarily for the transport and use of deck-based aviation at sea”.

    The author did not indicate for whom these restrictions exist.

    ..convention establishes a different mode of passage of warships for the fleets of the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states. Subject to prior notification by the Turkish authorities, the Black Sea states may navigate their warships of any class through the straits in peacetime.

      “..The convention establishes a different mode of passage for warships for the fleets of the Black Sea and non-Black Sea states. Subject to prior notification by the Turkish authorities, the Black Sea states may navigate their warships of any class through the straits in peacetime .. ”

      This is not true. Some restrictions apply to the Black Sea states. In particular, the passage of ships with a nuclear power plant. The same applies to aircraft carriers.

            And you read mine.

            ... Black Sea states can navigate their warships of any class through the straits in peacetime ..

            Black Sea states - of any class.
            Limitations are for non-Black Sea states. Or will you show in the convention a place that says the opposite?

              Article 11

              Powers that are coastal to the Black Sea are permitted to navigate through the Straits their battleships of tonnage in excess of the tonnage provided for in the first paragraph of Article 14, provided that these ships sail through the Straits alone, escorted by no more than two destroyers.

              An aircraft carrier is not a battleship. Appendix II of the Convention contains a description of the ships.

              1. Battleships are surface warships belonging to one of the following subclasses:

              a) surface warships other than aircraft carriers, auxiliary ships or battleships of subclass b) whose standard displacement is greater than 10000 tons (10460 metric tons) or which have guns of a caliber above 203 millimeters (8 inches);

              b) surface warships other than aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of not more than 8000 tons (8128 metric tons) and which have guns of a caliber above 203 millimeters (8 inches).

              In other words, aircraft carriers are excluded.

                I have no such information. Show the source. I have this:

                The document regulates in detail the passage of warships through the straits, putting ships of the Black Sea states in an advantageous position in comparison with others. The Black Sea powers have the right to navigate through the straits in peacetime (subject to prior notification to the Turkish authorities) any of their warships (Articles 11, 12,13, 10). For warships of non-Black Sea powers, the Convention establishes class restrictions, allowing passage through the straits of small surface ships, small combat and auxiliary vessels (Article XNUMX).

                The procedure and terms for warning the Turkish government about any impending passage of warships through the straits are established (Article 13).

                The total maximum tonnage of all ships of foreign naval groups that may be in transit through the straits should not exceed 15 tons (Article 000). The total tonnage of warships of non-Black Sea states in the Black Sea may not exceed 14 tons (with the possibility of increasing this maximum to 30 tons in the event of an increase in the number of the Navy of the Black Sea countries) with a stay of no more than twenty-one days (Article 000).

                https://ria.ru/20160720/1470115652.html

                It does not say anything about restrictions for the Black Sea countries with regard to individual ships.

                    What an intelligent form of communication!) Apparently, you were poorly educated in childhood. Would you like to apologize for being rude?
                    I read your link. Nothing that you say is written there. As for aircraft carriers, it’s only that when passing through the strait it is forbidden to use these aircraft. Otherwise, all restrictions on tonnage and ship types are exclusively for non-Black Sea states.

                      One more time:

                      Powers adjacent to the Black Sea are permitted to navigate through the Straits their battleships of tonnage in excess of tonnage provided for in the first paragraph of Article 14.

                      We are talking about coastal states, that is, including Russia. And it's about battleships, to whom the aircraft carrier does not belong! Read appendix II. If you have no substantive arguments, I consider this dispute to be closed. Your own thoughts are not interesting to me.

                        Why are you hooked on these battleships? And if the convention had been written 200 years earlier, you would give Barks and Galleys as an example. Read this convention carefully, and not just the 11th article. Then, perhaps, the meaning will become more clear.

                        Because in annex II it’s clearly stated surface warships other than aircraft carriers!

      ALV "Sevmorput" passed the straits under the YAPPU, in cargo, heading for Vietnam. Fuel loading, physical start-up and power output were carried out at the Zaliv plant after mooring and sea trials from an emergency operation boiler.

    The displacement of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is up to 61 thousand tons.

    The displacement of the Russian Mistrals is almost 2,5 times less. If he went to Mediterranean, then why won't these pass?

      Admiral Kuzetsov is not an aircraft carrier by classification, so he can walk. This is an aircraft carrier cruiser. He is armed to the teeth like a cruiser and has an air wing of up to 50 liters, as an auxiliary. He has 12 Granite anti-ship missiles and many other weapons. Classic cruisers are just floating airfields that cannot defend themselves and are protected by other ships.

    For those Ukrainians who have a short memory: in the Black Sea, which was "dug by the ancient Ukrainians", ships of more displacement served. So, the aircraft-carrying cruiser Kiev (sold to the independent Chinese) had a displacement of 41 tons. The ship was built in the city of Nikolaev at the Black Sea shipyard. Yes, he served in the North, but they built and tested them in the Black Sea.
