Ship of project 1914. The unique ship of "Star Wars" - "Marshal Krylov

The ship of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" is the second ship of the 1914 project, but was built according to the modified project 1914.1. Named after Marshal N. I. Krylov. At present, it is the only ship of the control and measuring complex in the Russian Navy, performing the tasks of providing flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, and others).

The 1914 project was developed by the Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau.

On July 24, 1982, at the Leningrad Admiralty Association, the ship's hull was laid (serial number 02515). Launched on July 24, 1987. On December 30, 1989 he was commissioned into the Russian Navy. On February 23, 1990, the USSR naval flag was raised on the ship in a solemn atmosphere.

Main characteristics:

Ship type: Steel, two propeller driven, with an extended tank and a two-tier superstructure, 14 compartments.

Displacement 23780 tons. Length 211.2 meters, width 27.7 meters, draft 8 meters. Travel speed up to 22 knots. Autonomy 120 days. The crew is about 350 people. There may be two Ka-27 search and rescue helicopters on board.

Main engine: Diesel hydraulic gear unit DGZA-6U. Power 22 MW.

On July 24, 2012, the ship celebrated its 25th anniversary since it was launched. In order to maintain the units and mechanisms in good condition, the ship was put on long-term dock repairs in Vladivostok, during which the whole range of work on the support systems was carried out. On December 19, 2012, the ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna went to sea to perform tasks for its intended purpose, after repairs.

On April 14, 2014, under the command of Captain 2nd Rank Boris Kulik, she went to sea to carry out course missions. In October, where repairs and deep modernization will be carried out at Dalzavod. According to a report dated December 03 in Vladivostok at the Dalzavod Ship Repair Center. February 23, 2015 from the date of raising the Naval Flag. According to a report dated April 11, 2016, Dalzavod where the ship was undergoing current repairs and arrived at the Slavyansk shipyard of the Khasansky district of the Primorsky Territory. At the Slavyansk Shipyard, in the near future, the alignment of the shaft line and the installation of new propellers will be performed. According to the message dated March 10, 2017 by July, "Dalzavod ship repair center" complex repair and modernization of the vessel. According to a report dated June 19, 2019, it will for the first time take part in the naval parade in honor of the Day of the Navy in Vladivostok.

Maybe in the near future, the world's oceans are waiting for our ICBMs launched at the maximum range?
Or is there a new object in space that requires close attention?

No, unfortunately the Marshal Krylov Measuring Complex (KIK) ship is still under repair.

And now he leaves Dalzavod for Slavyanka.
Although it would even be more correct to say - not "he is leaving," but "he is being gone" - for he will have to do the way to Slavyanka in tow. For, according to my information, the shafts and propellers have been removed from the ship.

KIK "Marshal Krylov" of project 1914.1 (aka Marshal Nedelin class - according to NATO classification), by the way, is a unique ship.
Now Russia has only one of the ships of this series (and the last KIK of 8 that existed during the collapse of the USSR).

What kind of beast is this?

KIK "and is a series of special ships of the Soviet Navy, designed to control the flight parameters of missiles at various segments of the trajectory, as a continuation of ground-based scientific measuring points and to ensure tests of ICBMs at the maximum range. Also, ships of this category are equipped with equipment to ensure water landing and ascent of descent vehicles of space stations.

The need to use floating measuring systems became clear long before the start of flights of the first Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) R-7. Its range, 8000 km, already went beyond the border of Kamchatka.
NII-4 was the first to start work on the creation of KIKs back in 1956. The work was headed by Georgy Tyulin, Deputy Head of Research Institute-4 for Research.

An interesting fact is that the project 1914 ship was the world's first ship originally created as a KIK.
In addition, it was ordered not by the Strategic Missile Forces, but by the Main Directorate of Space Facilities (GUKOS). The curator of the project from GUKOS (and one of the ideologists of the project) was cosmonaut German Stepanovich Titov.

"Marshal Krylov" participated in the tests of the ICBM "Bulava" (was engaged in monitoring the parameters of warheads when launched to the maximum range).

You can read more about this unique mastodon (the total displacement of the ship is 23,780 tons).

Passes under the "Golden Bridge"

« Marshal Krylov» against the backdrop of the Vladivostok Railway and Marine Stations, the building of the Primorsky Territory Administration and the Pacific Fleet Headquarters.

Don't beat me for the quality of the photo - I didn't have a DSLR on my slippers, call me.
:)

It is a pity that they are not allowed on the bridge now - a photo from the nose would have turned out excellent (painfully interesting angle), while the Marshal was standing in the middle of the Golden Horn Bay in the center of the city.

I will hasten to reassure the comrades - I do not facilitate the work of foreign intelligence, because these Kozlevichs already know and even monitor in real time:

The two blue boats below are the sea tugs MB-92 and MB-93, which are towing it.

By the way, I don’t understand why our military tugs are equipped with these transponders, which allow tracking all their movements (Ulysses - Dalzavod, Dalzavod - Slavyanka, etc.).

Remember, we are not long ago. Many expressed their deep regret that the fleet was losing such unique vessels. However, there is some good news related to another measuring ship from the Soviet era.

Ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna in the fall of 2012 went to sea to carry out tasks for its intended purpose.

This ship can be considered unique. After all, it is the only one in its class in the fleet, performing tasks to ensure flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, etc.).

On July 24, 2012 the ship turned 22 years old. In order to maintain the units and mechanisms in good condition, the ship was put on long-term dock repairs in Vladivostok, during which the whole range of work on the support systems was carried out. After that, "Marshal Krylov" successfully passed sea trials in the Amur Bay.

Let's find out more about the history of this ship.

The need for ships capable of carrying out all sorts of measurements of intercontinental rockets arises at the beginning of the space age. The missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads, reached the level when the test sites became small for them - the range of the missile began to be measured in thousands of kilometers. Previously, the observation and measurement of parameters was carried out by measuring points installed on land ranges. Now, when the launched rocket could fly around half the world, new means of their control and measurement were required.

The ships owe their appearance to TsNII-4 and personally to the outstanding designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. It is with his proposal to create a naval command and measurement complex and its extension to the Pacific Ocean to control tests of strategic missile weapons that the history of these amazing auxiliary ships begins - the history of the symbiosis of the space and naval fleets.

1958 year. The leadership of the Soviet Union decides on the creation and construction of a ship - a command and measurement complex. A huge number of people of different specialties and many military-industrial complex enterprises are involved in the creation of a CFC. The first to give are dry cargo vessels of project 1128, created in Poland for the Soviet Union as dry cargo carriers, for their conversion into KIK. Reference: The first KIKs were converted from Polish dry cargo vessels of the B-31 project to the Soviet project 1128, 1129b. And they never belonged to the auxiliary fleet! For the first four years, due to the secrecy regime, they flew under the flag of hydrography, but since 1964 they have been full-fledged ships of the Navy. Moreover, the 35th KIK brigade from 1976 to 1982 was the best unit of the Navy in terms of combat training. The design part of the KIK is the Leningradskoye Central Design Bureau and Baltsudoproekt. After receiving the ships, work began on equipping them special equipment... It is worth noting that at that time there was practically no measuring technique and equipment for using it on surface ships, and it was removed from ground stations and automobile chassis. Command and measurement equipment was installed in the holds of ships on special platforms. In addition to apparatus and equipment, the ships received reinforced plating for the possibility of a cruise (expedition) through the northern sea route. All work on equipping and equipping the ships was completed by the summer of 1959, after which the sea trials of the KIK began immediately.

All KIK entered the so-called "TOGE" - Pacific Hydrographic Expedition. The location of TOGE is a bay on the Kamchatka Peninsula (later the city of Vilyuchinsk grew up there).

The main tasks of the TOGE:
- measurement and tracking of the ICBM flight path;
- tracking the fall and determining the coordinates of the fall of the head of the rocket;
- control and monitoring of the mechanisms of the nuclear device;
- removal, processing, transmission and control of all information from the facility;
- control of the trajectory and information coming from the spacecraft;
- maintaining constant communication with the astronauts on board the spacecraft.

The first ships of Project 1128 - Sakhalin, Siberia, Suchan (Spassk) were combined into the first floating measuring complex (1PIK), the provisional name - "Brigade S". A little later they were joined by the Project 1129 ship Chukotka. All ships were put into service in 1959. Cover Legend - Pacific Oceanographic Expedition (TOGE-4). In the same year, the ships made their first expedition to the area of the Hawaiian Islands, which became known as the "Aquatoria" missile test site. These were the first ships that sailed to the center of the Pacific Ocean, the autonomy of which reached 120 days.

Everything in this expedition was top secret, mentions of these ships threatened at that time with being sent to places not so distant for divulging state secrets. The ships had an unusual silhouette and paint color - on the ball-colored hull there were white superstructures with various antennas. The main equipment was radar stations and direction finders, hydrophones and echo sounders, telemetry and secret communications stations. And although the flags of the Navy were hung on them, to whom they report, where they are and what they do, the absolute majority of the population of the Soviet Union did not know, even the commanders of military units, surface ships and submarines. Officers who came to serve on such ships only learned when accepting a position that hydrography was only a cover for the ship's real tasks.

The secrecy of the ships was in everything, so, for example, during the transition from Kronstadt to the base, all visible antennas were dismantled and put back only in Murmansk. There the ships were equipped with Ka-15 deck helicopters. To ensure further progress, the ships are assigned icebreakers. On the way, the helicopters practiced various tasks of grinding to the ship and reconnaissance of the ice situation. And although the helicopters were tested in the North, and combat missions were solved at the Equator, the Ka-15 helicopters proved to be good and for a long time remained the main helicopters of these ships.

Subsequently, the following ships were commissioned:
- KIK-11 "Chumikan", Project 1130 ship, went into operation on June 14, 1963;
- KIK-11 "Chazhma", Project 1130 ship entered service on July 27, 1963;
- "Marshal Nedelin", project 1914 ship, went into operation on December 31, 1983;
- "Marshal Krylov", project 1914.1 ship, went into operation on February 28, 1990;

After the attachment of the ships of Project 1130, 2 PIK were created, the code name "Brigade Ch". Cover Legend - TOGE-5. In 1985, the ships are included in the 35th KIK brigade. The brigade adhered to the battle and Everyday life orders of the commanders-in-chief of the Navy and Strategic Missile Forces of the Soviet Union. In addition to the measurement ships, two raid messenger boats and one tug MB-260 were enrolled in the brigades.

Combat work and missions of the KIK

The presence of TOGE ships were a prerequisite the beginning of testing of all Soviet ICBMs, they provided all flights of spacecraft of the Soviet Union and studied flights of enemy spacecraft. The first combat mission of the ships is the end of October 1959. The first tracking and measurement of the flight of an intercontinental missile - the end of January 1960. The first manned flight into space was also provided by the TOGE-4 ships, which were sent to a given area in the Pacific Ocean and until the last were kept secret from them the combat mission. The ship "Chumikan" took part in 1973 in the rescue operations on "Apollo-13". In the early 80s, the ships provided the launch of the Soviet BOR. End of the 80s - Marshal Nedelin provided the ISS Buran flight. "Marshal Krylov" completed the assigned tasks in the mission "Europe-America-500". In the 1960s, TOGE-4 ships studied and removed information from American high-altitude nuclear explosions.

The ships ended their history very tragically:
- Siberia was cut into scrap metal;
- "Chutotka" was cut into scrap metal;
- "Spassk" was sold to the United States for 868 thousand dollars, but according to another version, it, like many other things, went to India for scrap;
- “Sakhalin” was sold to the PRC;
- "Chumikan" was sold for $ 1.5 million;
- "Chamzha" was sold for 205 thousand dollars;
- “Marshal Nedelin” was robbed for a long time, money for restoration was never found, it was sold to India as scrap metal.
- they wanted to build another 3rd ship of project 1914, the ship "Marshal Biryuzov" was laid down and work began, but the collapse of the Soviet Union, as in many other projects, put a bold cross on its further completion, and it was eventually cut on metal.

Project 1914.1 "Marshal Krylov"

Today it is the last KIK of 8 ships capable of working with space and intercontinental objects. The base is the city of Vilyuchinsk, Kamchatka Peninsula.

The main developer is Balsudoproekt. The emergence of new measurement and control ships, completely built from "A" to "Z" in the Soviet Union, was a logical solution to the "arms race" that existed at that time. The ship embodied the experience of previously built ships, their modernization and equipping with new equipment. It was planned to install the most modern equipment on the ship, expand the capabilities of deck helicopters and all the functionality of the ship. The ship was laid down at the Leningrad shipbuilding facilities on June 22, 1982. The constructed ship left the stocks on 07.24.1987. The ship arrived at the base in mid-1990, passing not like other ships along the Northern Route, but through the Suez Canal. In 1998, the ship changes its classification for the last time and becomes a communications vessel.

The ships of projects 1914 and 1914.1 outwardly differed only in the presence of the second "Fregat" radar on the second hull with an improved antenna. Some changes have affected the internal layout of the premises. Installed powerful surveillance tools allow you to perform additional tasks. The hull of the vessel received an anti-ice belt of class L1. Installed on the ship:
- small foremast;
- mainmast with internal rooms;
- mizzen mast with interior rooms;
- two swimming pools, one on the superstructure deck, the other in the gym;
- helicopter deck and hangars for storing helicopters;
- installation TKB-12 with ammunition of 120 lighting shots "Light";
- the ability to install 6 AK-630, two in the bow and four in the stern of the ship;
- two screws with adjustable pitch, diameter 4.9 meters;
- two propelling and steering retractable columns with a screw diameter of 1.5 meters;
- two steering devices with a propeller diameter of 1.5 meters;
- bulb with a GAS resonator;
- car ZIL-131;
- floating craft - 4 closed-type lifeboats, work and command boats, 2 rowing boats;
- a unique device for lifting space descent vehicles;
- complex of automated landing "Privod-V"

The ships of the project 1914 and 1914.1 are one of the most comfortable naval ships. The ship is equipped with:
- "Medblok" complex, consisting of an operating room, an X-ray room, a dental office, a treatment room and 2 cabins for cosmonauts;
- a club room with a stage and a balcony;
- a gym with showers;
- spacious sauna;
- library;
- Lenkomnata;
- office;
- salon;
- ship shop;
- dining room and two saloon;

Crew berth equipment:
- urgent service - 4-bed cabins with washbasin, wardrobes;
- midshipmen - 2-bed cabins with washbasin, wardrobes;
- officers, junior staff - 2-bed cabins with shower;
- officers - single cabins;
- command - block cabins;
- the ship's commander - a block cabin with a saloon for celebrations.

The ship of project 1914.1, even today, is one of the largest and most equipped ships of the Russian Navy. It represents the latest achievements of Soviet scientists and designers, of which one can single out:
- two-way satellite communication complex "Storm";
- equipment for space communication "Aurora", which provides telephone communication with the Central Control Center and astronauts in orbit;
- equipment "Zefir-T", one of the most important complexes for working with antennas and objects;
- equipment "Zefir-A", a unique complex of measurements even today, the main advantage is the algorithms used for information processing, the most powerful complex of calculations;
- photo registration station "Woodpecker". Although in its parameters it works like an ordinary human eye, technologically it turned out to be an extremely complex complex - it has no analogues in the world;
- direction finder-radiometer "Kunitsa" - equipment of the last chance to collect information about the controlled object;
- navigation complex "Andromeda". Another representative of the unique Soviet thought - calculates the coordinates of a given point and all the accompanying characteristics;

Andrey Vladimirovich, how many types of antennas are there on the ship?

Lot. There are optical measuring instruments - a photographic recording station, which consists of six large cameras, which are photographed with aerial film (its width is 18 cm!). The price of one reel is about 18 thousand rubles. This device is a Russian development: a phototheodolite with a huge lens. True, the maximum speed is only 4 frames per second. There are optical measuring instruments on the ship that operate in the infrared range - radiometers. There are trajectory antennas. This is the same radio telemetry complex.

The one hidden in the white dome?

Yes, it measures the flight path of the object. The telemetry station measures the characteristics of an object: vibration, temperature, etc. There are also antennas for satellite communications, shipborne space communications ...

Why is a ship needed to complete all these tasks? Are there not enough ground stations?

We have a very large country, there are also a lot of ground-based measuring complexes (the easternmost, by the way, is located in Kamchatka in the settlement of Vulkanny, Elizovskiy region), each of them photographs its own plot. If, for example, a rocket's upper stage is disconnected outside the reach of these ground points, then our ship comes into play, we approach the required point and make a survey.

Our spacecraft will be especially relevant with the commissioning of the Vostochny cosmodrome. This southernmost range of ours is intended for manned space exploration.

Is it your job to evacuate the capsule of the lander?

Yes, the ship has a special onboard lifting device for evacuating the capsule with astronauts. It's not just a winch. This is the boom to which it hangs metal grid, it descends like a landing net, grabs the capsule and lifts it aboard. I personally saw this operation only once, in 1992: "Marshal Krylov" took part in the "Space flight" Europe - America-500 "project. The space object was launched from Baikonur, we were in the Seattle area. At that moment, a 7-point storm broke out there. If the launch had been postponed, due to the rotation of the Earth, the capsule would have fallen into the sea 300 kilometers from us, we would not have had time to lift it. Our commander decided not to postpone the launch. Right during the storm, we safely caught the capsule, lifted it and brought it to Seattle, where it has since been kept in the Aviation Museum of that city. At the same time, foreigners got on board for the first time on board the Marshal Krylov.

Are there analogues of the Marshal Krylov ship in the world?

The Chinese have similar ships, but they are slightly different. There are definitely no analogues in Russia. In addition, Marshal Krylov is one of the few helicopter-carrying ships in Kamchatka and one of the largest ships in the Pacific Fleet. The ships of our brigade were the first to test helicopters at sea.

What else is your ship the best?

The people here are the best. They do not serve for "big shoulder straps", but because they love their job. Our ship is one big experiment. The measuring stations that we have are nowhere to be found, there is no sample. Everything is unique! And this uniqueness is both a plus and a minus of our ship. The institutes do not graduate specialists specifically for us. Everything is specific. It seems that the nut is also tightened, but not like that, in a nautical way. I have 104 people in the measuring complex, including 28 officers and 46 warrant officers. Officers need to grow, because every officer who enters the service, as they say, dreams of becoming an admiral. And then there is nowhere to grow. But in our fleet it is usually "where he was born, there he came in handy." That is, if you come to serve on this ship, you will continue to work here. Even the ship's commander (the previous one) came to us as an engineer in the measuring complex with the rank of lieutenant, passed all positions, after which he became a commander. I don't like being a commander, I like taking measurements.

When did you come to serve on the ship?

July 27, 1992, I was 22 years old. Now 44. The next year is a pension. Himself from Kazakhstan from the city of Alma-Ata, graduated from the Republican Physics and Mathematics School.

Many expressed their deep regret that the fleet was losing such unique vessels. However, there is some good news related to another measuring ship from the Soviet era.

Ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna in the fall of 2012 went to sea to carry out tasks for its intended purpose.
