17th Project 956 destroyer "Sarych"
Story
Laid down at the plant number 190 named. A. A. Zhdanova on May 6, 1988 (building number 877), launched on December 28, 1991, the crew was formed on December 31. The ship passed the factory sea trials from November 27 to December 25, 1993 in Baltiysk. Accepted by the fleet on December 30, 1993 (on December 25, the naval flag was raised on the ship). On April 17, 1994, the destroyer joined the Russian Navy. During the construction period (since June 16, 1993) he was included in the 13th brigade of ships under construction and repair (13 brigade) of the Leningrad Naval Base, for the duration of the tests included in the 76th brigade missile ships 12th missile ship division.
Service
Since 1994 - as part of the 56th brigade of destroyers of the 7th operational squadron of the Northern Fleet. On June 2, 1994, Fearless arrived in Baltiysk to prepare for the inter-naval transition, which took place from August 9 to 16, 1994. On December 27, the destroyer was put on permanent alert.
On April 4, 1995, together with the destroyer Rastoropny, he took part in anti-aircraft missile firing (received a “good” rating). Under the flag of Rear Admiral V. D. Veregin, he paid a visit to Oslo (Norway) (May 6 - 9), on November 22 he performed artillery firing in the presence of the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. December 21 "Fearless" under the flag of Admiral I. V. Kasatonov, together with the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" entered combat service in the Mediterranean Sea; passed on January 4 next year through the Strait of Gibraltar, from January 29 to February 3 made a business call to Tartus (Syria); from February 17 to 18, together with Admiral Kuznetsov, he was on a visit to La Valetta (Malta), where the President of the Republic of Malta visited the destroyer. On March 22, 1996, the ship returned to Severomorsk, having traveled 14,156 nautical miles during its combat service and completed 7 exercises and 49 combat exercises. In August-September, "Fearless" was docked at the shipyard No. 82 in Roslyakovo.
For a comprehensive check of combat readiness on April 14, 1997, the destroyer went to sea, from April 16 to 17 and from April 23 to 25 of the same year, he took part in command and staff exercises of the fleet as part of two destroyers and two large anti-submarine ships. August 21 "Fearless" performed artillery firing with jamming from PK-10 and PK-2M (received an overall rating of "good"). September 2 shot "Mosquito", was rated "excellent". September 16 "Fearless" made as part of a ship group going to sea, in the period from September 22 to 26 paid a visit to Portsmouth (England); On October 4, in the Kattegat Strait, the destroyer was refueled by the wake method from the tanker "G. Hasanov. After passing 4391 nautical miles, the squadron returned to Severomorsk on October 8, 1997.
On May 1, 1998, the destroyer "Fearless" was included in the 43rd division of missile ships of the 7th operational squadron. During a trip in the summer of 1998, in a storm, the ship's boiler and turbine installation stopped, because of which it was almost thrown onto the rocks.
In 2004, the destroyer Fearless changed its name to Admiral Ushakov.

The Soviet Union occupied one sixth of the land. Thanks in part geographic location, partly - technological possibilities, a lot of time was devoted to the development of ships of the Navy in the country. However, this is still being done by any large state.
Boats and cruisers, submarines and aircraft carriers, light and large - the list of technological solutions can be continued for a very long time. One of these was "Orlan", or "project 1144". Heavy atomic missile cruiser"Admiral Ushakov" is the flagship of the project, which has no analogues in any fleet in the world. It is about him, his capabilities, characteristics, military and technical data that we will talk about in the article.
Name evolution
It should be noted that the cruiser did not immediately receive the name "Admiral Ushakov". "Admiral's stripes" appeared after the collapse of the Union - in 1992. Then he and 3 more Orlans received new names. At the same time, only one - the 4th - bears the name "Peter the Great". The first three became "admirals". These are Ushakov, Lazarev and Nakhimov. When leaving the stocks, the ships were named "Kirov", "Frunze", "Kalinin", respectively. The fourth cruiser was first named "Kuibyshev", then, even before the completion of construction, he received a new name - "Yuri Andropov".
To date, only "Peter the Great" is in the service. "Nakhimov" is under modernization. The first two, perhaps, will also be updated, but for Nakhimov.
Project "Orlan"
The idea of creating a ship, which later became the nuclear cruiser "Admiral Ushakov", did not come immediately. The original designs date back to the 1950s. Then it was decided to create two types of ships - one was to become a cruiser (project 63), the second - an air defense ship (project 81). For both types, it was planned to use a nuclear reactor as a power plant.
Then project 81 was closed, and work on both types was reduced to one direction. The ship was supposed to be not very large, but have the capabilities of both air defense and a simple cruiser. Unfortunately, Project 63 didn't live much longer, and soon it was also closed.
The return to the "atomic" project comes only at the end of the 60s, when the Leningrad Central Design Bureau is entrusted with the creation of an "inexpensive" nuclear patrol vessel. The ship should have a displacement of about 8,000 tons (for comparison, the flagship of this project, the Admiral Ushakov missile cruiser, received 24,000 tons), be able not only to escort other ships, providing them with fire support, but also to track down, and, if necessary, destroy ships of a probable enemy. One of the main "chips" was to be an unlimited cruising range. The original project called for the construction of about 40 such vessels, but, as it turned out, the industry was simply not ready to produce a vessel of such a displacement, not to mention its possible price.
"Fugas" + "Orlan"
Despite these inconsistencies, project 1144 gets the green light. Nuclear, artillery installations, torpedo tubes and even an unmanned helicopter are being developed. It should be noted that the development of these aircraft in the Union began long before this idea dawned on the Americans. However, the ship did not see the helicopter. But there is another, no less important moment for the then "Kirov" (later "Admiral Ushakov"). The cruiser moves from the category of "tracking vessel" to the category of "anti-submarine ship".
The fact is that in parallel with Orlan, a purely strike vessel was being developed, the project of which was code-named "Fugasse" (or "product 1165"). And in May 1971, when weapons were already being developed for both ships, the projects were combined. future ship receives the best weapon options previously developed for each type.
Launching
A year after the merger of the projects, the final version is presented to the military. Then in March 1973 at the Baltic Shipyard. Ordzhonikidze laid the lead cruiser. In the final version of the project, 5 ships were planned, 4 of which were built. But it should be noted that the fourth ship - "Peter the Great" - immediately received several differences from its counterparts. In particular, it has greater navigation autonomy, improved anti-submarine and sonar weapons, and more modern cruise missiles.
4 years later, on New Year's Eve 1977, the heavy nuclear cruiser "Admiral Ushakov" was launched and enlisted in the Navy Soviet Union. This year was marked for the Orlan project by another event. It was then that a new classification was introduced into the Navy, and the Kirov from the category of a simple anti-submarine ship becomes a heavy nuclear missile cruiser.
Description and design
During the design and then construction of the ship, composite materials were widely used in the world. Therefore, the developed superstructures of the floating craft are mainly made of aluminum-magnesium alloys. Most of the weapons are installed in the stern and bow. Additional armored shields close the engine room, ammunition cellars, and almost all the important posts of the Admiral Ushakov ship.
The cruiser has an extended forecastle and a double bottom for the entire length of the vessel. The surface part has five decks (also along the entire length of the hull). In the rear part there is an underdeck hangar, designed for the permanent presence of three helicopters. In the same place, a lifting mechanism was designed and rooms were provided for storing all the materials necessary for flights. In a separate compartment there is a lifting-lowering system for the release of the antenna of the Polynomial complex.
The construction of such a ship put forward very high requirements for possible manufacturers. Firstly, in the final design, the ship received a displacement of more than 24,000 tons. Secondly, the maximum hull length was to be more than 250 m. There were still a number of requirements that only one plant in the Union, Leningradsky, could satisfy.
Armament
Before talking about weapons, it is worth noting that the Admiral Ushakov nuclear missile cruiser was supposed to strike at enemy aircraft carrier groups, track down and destroy submarines, and, of course, provide air defense and (in the future) missile defense of its territories. Based on all these tasks, the ship received a whole list of all kinds of weapons. Since for detailed description each type will require more than one article, you will have to limit yourself to brief characteristics.
The main strike armament is represented by the Granit system - an anti-ship missile system located in the bow. Includes 20 missiles, maximum flight range 550 km, nuclear warhead. 500 kg warhead.
Anti-aircraft weapons - missile system "Fort". The cruiser has 12 x 8 missiles each. In addition to air targets, you can hit enemy ships with a class up to a destroyer. The launch of the rocket engines occurs after its release from the installation, which ensures the explosion and fire protection of the ship. Flight range - 70 km (limited by control systems on board).
Anti-submarine equipment includes the Metel missile system - 10 missile torpedoes. The firing range is up to 50 km, the depth of destruction is up to 500 m. In addition to this system, two five-tube torpedo tubes are used.
Also on the deck is a large number of small and small six-barreled machine guns.
I serve the fatherland
Among the many exercises and combat missions that the "eagles" went out to, it is worth noting one in which it was "Admiral Ushakov" who participated. The cruiser was in our waters when, in December 1983, NATO ships, acting on the side of Israel, began military operations against Syria and Lebanon, allies of the USSR. The ship was ordered to go to the Mediterranean Sea. This is where the curiosity begins. When it entered those waters, and a little less than a day remained to the destination, the NATO ships immediately ceased fire and fled to the island zone. The Americans did not dare to approach closer than 500 km to Ushakov.
Execution cannot be pardoned
The phrase from the old fairy tale, quoted above, very well describes the situation with the ship at the dawn of the new age. In 1989, when the cruiser was on a mission, the main gearbox broke. Then problems begin with the main power plant, and in 1991 the captain receives an order: the repair must be carried out. The ship berths, but in the following years only one thing happens. significant event- the transfer of the craft to the Russian Navy and the renaming of the heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Admiral Ushakov". Modernization and medium repairs begin only by the year 2000.
Further fate is fully consistent old fairy tale It all depends on where the comma is. For 20 years (from the moment of parking), this comma has changed its position several times. Either modernization, then disposal, then a new solution, and even a return to the Navy, but this is not final either. What will happen next, and whether the Admiral will go to sea, is still unknown.
Conclusion
One of the few ships in the Russian Navy, the cruiser Admiral Ushakov boasts a power plant based on a nuclear reactor. Even today, there is no ship in the world fleet that is comparable in firepower to the Ushakov. The appearance of the flagship on the horizon in many cases radically changed the balance of power in some situations, and it would be a pity if a vessel of this class was simply allowed to be scrapped.
During the celebration of the Day of the Navy in Severomorsk, residents of the capital of the Northern Fleet had unique opportunity get on board the ship - access to the destroyer "Admiral Ushakova" was free for everyone.
2. Destroyer project 956 "Admiral Ushakov".
It's hard to believe, but being at the destroyer I thought - should I go up on deck? You have no idea how hard it is to shoot on board a ship when there are a lot of people around! Crew or shipbuilders are another matter. They can be built and asked to take part in a photo shoot, or pretend to be active work. But still, a holiday is a holiday, so without thinking twice, I decided to go on board and join the lively mass of joyful North Sea people. Didn't regret it!
3. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
The destroyer "Admiral Ushakov" is the 17th ship in a series of 20 ships of project 956 "Sarych", developed at the Northern Design Bureau.
4. Project 956 destroyer Admiral Ushakov.
Severomorsky "Admiral Ushakov" was built at the Leningrad plant number 190 named after. Zhdanov. Now this plant is known under the name "Severnaya Verf".
5. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
His bookmark, that is, his birthday, took place on May 6, 1988. I note that on that day he was "Fearless", and he acquired the name "Admiral Ushakov" later, in 2004.
Three years later, on December 28, 1991, the destroyer was launched, and three days after the launch, the crew was formed.
6. Feed destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
On December 30, 1993, the long-awaited moment came - the Naval flag was raised on the ship, and on April 17, 1994, the ship entered the Navy.
7. RBU-1000 - Soviet jet bomber with a stationary two-plane homing installation with six radially arranged barrels. Designed to destroy enemy submarines and attacking torpedoes.
It is worth noting that out of the fourteen Project 956 destroyers transferred to the fleet before December 8, 1991, eight ships, including the Admiral Ushakov, became part of the 56th destroyer brigade of the 7th operational squadron of the Northern Fleet.
8. Aft installation of the Uragan anti-aircraft missile system.
If we talk about all representatives of the project 956, then while serving in the Soviet Navy, the destroyers took an active part in a large number of combat services and naval exercises, such as Ocean-83, Atlantic-84, Polar Region-84, "Squadron-84", "Moncada-85" and others.
9. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
The ships of the project carried out control over the exercises of the navies of the NATO countries in the Norwegian and Mediterranean seas, followed the ship and aircraft carrier groups of the fleets of the United States and Great Britain.
10. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
In addition to combat missions, Project 956 destroyers also carried out peaceful missions, paid official friendly visits to the ports of a number of countries: Algeria, Vietnam, East Germany, Greece, Egypt, India, China, Cuba, Libya, Syria, the USA, Germany, Yugoslavia, African countries and others, showing the Soviet naval flag. 11. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
After 1991, the activity of operating destroyers of Project 956 decreased many times, and as part of the Russian Navy, these ships managed to participate in only a few exits to combat service. -
12. Practical mine.
The collapse of the Soviet Union led to a sharp reduction in the state order for the Navy, including both the construction of new ships and complex repair ships already in the fleet.
13. Ship automatic gun caliber 130 mm AK-130.
Underfunding also affected the ships of Project 956: the construction of new destroyers was stopped (only those already laid down were completed), and the current and medium repairs of already built ships were delayed, or not carried out at all.
This, as well as problems with the operation of the boiler-turbine power plant, led to the fact that most of the Project 956 destroyers were in service for less than ten years, although their estimated service life should have exceeded two decades. So, the destroyer Stoykiy was operated for only five years, Winged for six years, Rampant and Prudent for seven years, Flawless, Thundering and Quick for eight years, Combat for nine years and "Fearless".
14. The ship's bell of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
As a result, by 2002, out of the seventeen destroyers built for the Soviet Navy and the Russian Navy, only five ships were actually in service: Combat, Stormy, Restless, Persistent and Fearless (Admiral Ushakov ”), the rest of the ships were either cut into metal, or sent to the reserve or for conservation.
15. The ship's bell of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
Today, out of seventeen destroyers, only three ships actually remain in service: "Persistent" - in the Baltic Fleet, "Fast" - in Pacific Fleet, "Admiral Ushakov" - in the Northern Fleet.

Briefly about the combat service of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov":
1995
On April 4, 1995, together with the destroyer Rastoropny, he participated in anti-aircraft missile firing (received a “good” rating). Under the flag of Rear Admiral V. D. Veregin, he paid a visit to Oslo (Norway) (from May 6 to 9), on November 22 he performed artillery firing in the presence of the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. On December 21, "Fearless" under the flag of Admiral I.V. Kasatonov, together with the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov", entered combat service in the Mediterranean Sea.
17. Mine tracks. Designed for installation, fastening and discharge of mines astern, as well as for loading torpedoes.
1996
January 4, 1996 passed through the Strait of Gibraltar. From January 29 to February 3, he made a business call to Tartus (Syria). From February 17 to 18, together with Admiral Kuznetsov, he was on a visit to Valletta (Malta), where the President of the Republic of Malta visited the destroyer. On March 22, he returned to Severomorsk, having traveled 14,156 nautical miles during his combat service and completed 7 exercises and 49 combat exercises. In August-September, he was docked at the shipyard No. 82 in Roslyakovo.
18. Project 956 destroyer "Admiral Ushakov".
1997
From 16 to 17 April and from 23 to 25 April, he participated in command and staff exercises of the fleet as part of two destroyers and two large anti-submarine ships. On August 21, performed artillery firing with jamming from PK-10 and PK-2M (received an overall rating of "good"). September 2 shot "Mosquito", was rated "excellent". On September 16, he made an exit to the sea as part of a ship group. In the period from 22 to 26 September paid a visit to Portsmouth (England). On October 4, in the Kattegat Strait, the destroyer was refueled by the wake method from the tanker "Heinrich Hasanov". After passing 4391 nautical miles, the squadron returned to Severomorsk on October 08, 1997.
19. Torpedo tube caliber 533 mm.
1998
During a trip in the summer of 1998, in a storm, the ship's boiler and turbine installation stopped, because of which it was almost thrown onto the rocks.
20. Mines with anti-ship missiles "Moskit-M".
year 2000
On June 20, 2000, the destroyer Admiral Ushakov arrived in Severodvinsk to undergo repairs at the Zvezdochka shipyard.
21. The destroyer "Admiral Ushakov" at the Severodvinsk shipbuilding enterprise "Zvyozdochka" ().
After a short period of time after the completion of repair work, from October 2004 to August 2005, the destroyer took part in its extreme long-distance voyage as part of a shipborne aircraft carrier group with the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. Since then, the destroyer has not made further exits. Barents Sea. Perhaps the need to repair the power plant (KTU) is to blame. She needs a serious (overhaul) repair, for which there is no will, it is a pity for money and scarce production capacities, and therefore the handsome destroyer will have to live out her life as a ship of the 1st rank of the near sea zone.
22. Mines with anti-ship missiles "Moskit-M".
The armament of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov:
Radar general detection "Frigate". Hydroacoustic station "Platina-S".

25. Part of the ship's superstructure, inside which is the cellar of the Uragan anti-aircraft missile system. Also there are pantries, ventilation compartments.
Two twin AK-130 installations are installed on board the ship. The AK-130 control system is a multi-channel MP-184, which includes a dual-band radar, a TV set, a laser rangefinder, a digital computer, and an optical device. The installations have an optical device, an ammunition supply complex and interface equipment. Rate of fire up to 90 rds / min, range up to 24 kilometers. Ammunition - 500 shots per barrel (180 of them are ready for combat use, added to the tape). For firing at coastal facilities, a sighting special post is used. The control system allows only single-breasted use of gun mounts.
26. On the starboard side of the destroyer was the heavy nuclear missile cruiser of the Northern Fleet "Peter the Great".
AK-630M - anti-aircraft rapid-fire air defense system. It consists of two 30-mm batteries of the AK-630M complex. One battery - two gun mounts with a rotating six-barreled unit and the Vympel control system. The effective firing range is up to four kilometers. Rate of fire 4,000 rds / min.

Helicopter KA-27PL. To use the helicopter on the ship there is a platform and a telescopic hangar. The on-board fuel supply allows the helicopter to provide two refueling.
32. Lifebuoy.
Despite the problems with the gas turbine, the ship is not moored. The destroyer, one might say, is constantly in the Barents Sea. So today, during the exercises taking place in the Barents Sea, in accordance with the combat training plan for the forces and troops of the Northern Fleet in summer period training, a naval strike group consisting of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov", large anti-submarine ships "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" and "Severomorsk" conducted artillery firing at sea and closed coastal targets in the fleet's ranges in the Barents Sea and on the coast of the Kola Peninsula.
(review)
For the entire existence of the Russian fleet, only four ships bore the name of Ushakov. Let's try to talk briefly about combat way each of them. However, the last destroyer is safely in the fleet, and let's hope that it will remain there as long as possible.

"Admiral Ushakov" was built at the Baltic Shipyard. According to tradition, the name of the ship was chosen by Alexander III himself. The battleship was the first ship named after this naval commander.
The ship was laid down on October 22, 1892. The battleship was launched on October 27 of the following year, but work on the ship was still ongoing: it still did not have cars and boilers, armor and weapons. Sea trials were carried out only in September 1895. The ship became part of the Baltic Fleet.
During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. it was decided to send "Admiral Ushakov" as part of Nebogatov's squadron, which was sent to help Vice Admiral Rozhdestvensky.
A few words should be said about the last commander of the Ushakov, Captain 1st Rank Vladimir Nikolaevich Miklukh. His elder brother was the famous traveler Miklouho-Maclay. Both Dmitriev and Novikov-Priboy note that Miklukha was known as a man with a difficult character. But this first impression was not entirely correct. Miklukha was not very polite, but he was a good commander and knew how to take care of his subordinates.
Before sailing, Miklukha had to move to another ship. He stayed at Ushakov only thanks to his urgent requests.
Captain 1st rank V. N. Miklukha
wikipedia.org
"Admiral Ushakov" set off from Libava on February 2, 1905 as part of the squadron of Rear Admiral N. I. Nebogatov (it was also called the "Third"). It included ships that were previously considered unsuitable for hostilities, but under public pressure, it was decided to send them to help Rozhdestvensky's squadron.
However, N. N. Dmitriev, who served on the Ushakov, categorically disagrees with this opinion, believing that the Nebogatov squadron would be quite useful in a different situation.
Despite all the negative reviews about the 3rd squadron, no one could dispute that it coped well with its goals: “Before joining the Rozhdestvensky squadron, she made her way faster than the rest, namely in 39 days, she came to looking good, on the road she learned to walk without lights, thanks to which she suffered very little from mine attacks in the Tsushima battle ".
Dmitriev, speaking about the Ushakov and the Nebogatov squadron, notes that on the way the ship was overloaded with coal so that the armor went under water, that shooting practice was clearly insufficient.
The meeting of the Nebogatovites with the 2nd Pacific Squadron took place on April 26. Then they walked together - towards Tsushima.
During the Tsushima battle on May 14, 1905, the Admiral Ushakov was at the end of the wake formation, in which Rozhestvensky lined up his ships.
In general, as Dmitriev, an eyewitness and participant in the events, notes, "Ushakov" entered the battle late because of his place in the ranks. “Although all the guns continued to be loaded and there was full readiness to start a battle every minute, the team still had a rest until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, that is, before the collision with the main forces of the Japanese” .
The first damage to the Admiral Ushakov was received after 4 pm, when it passed the Alexander III, which lurched heavily due to the damage. It was then that the first two shells hit the battleship. After the first hit, the entire bow of the living quarters was flooded with water. Another shell destroyed the cockpit.
With the onset of darkness, strong attacks by Japanese destroyers began, but Ushakov almost did not suffer from them thanks to the foresight of his commander, who forbade turning on the searchlight and shooting.
Together with other ships ("Nikolai", "Apraksin", "Senyavin", "Sisoy", "Navarin", "Nakhimov"), he continued to go north, hoping to break through to Vladivostok.
However, this plan never materialized. In the morning, from Ushakov, they saw enemy ships catching up with the Nebogatov squadron, from which the battleship lagged noticeably.
All day, "Ushakov" made attempts to get away from enemy ships, which could be distinguished in the distance, but all efforts were in vain. The battleship fell into a trap set by the Japanese.
At about 3 p.m., a Japanese squadron was seen from Ushakov. Soon the cruisers Iwate and Yakumo separated from her. Miklukha ordered to open fire first. But shooting at the Iwata from a long distance proved to be completely useless.
The Japanese, who could shoot at a distance of up to 75 cables, kept at a convenient distance for themselves and shot the battleship without hindrance. Soon "Ushakov" began to list to starboard. Shooting became impossible. Then the commander ordered to open the kingstones, not wanting to hand over his ship.
This desperate resistance so angered the enemies that even when the Ushakovites left the battleship, the Japanese ships still fired at it, and when it went under water, they fired at people in the water.
V. N. Miklukha died at sea. Japanese newspapers claimed that he himself refused to board the boat, asking to save the sailor.
Such was the heroic fate of the first ship with Ushakov's name.

The light cruiser "Admiral Ushakov" became the first Soviet ship with this name. This is explained by the re-emerging during the Great Patriotic War interest in the personality of the admiral. So at the first opportunity, his name was given to the new vessel.
On November 9, 1950, the still uncreated Ushakov was included in the lists of the Navy ships. Its laying took place in Leningrad on February 6 next year.
On June 29, 1952, the cruiser was launched, however, the acceptance certificate was signed only on September 8, 1953. Captain 1st rank Yu. A. Yulinets became the first commander of the Ushakov. Ten days later, the flag of the Navy was raised on the ship for the first time. The ship became part of the Northern Fleet.
The first serious task soon followed: "Ushakov" with a detachment was sent to Stockholm.
In 1956, a completely new ship was almost destroyed: they wanted to use it for nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya. He was saved only by the intervention of Admiral S. G. Gorshkov.
In 1957, a helipad was built on the ship, the first in the fleet. Its tests were successful, so such sites began to be made at factories. Around the same time, SAP "Crab-11" and "Crab-12" were installed on Ushakov.
During the Caribbean crisis, the light cruiser was planned to be sent to Cuba, but this was not needed.
In the fall of 1963, "Admiral Ushakov" was transferred to Black Sea Fleet, to where his great namesake once became famous. However, the cruiser was waiting there not for glory, but for conservation. There was a reduction in armament, and the ship fell under it.
"Ushakov" returned to service only on April 15, 1971. The very next year he was on active duty in the Mediterranean.
When the Arab-Israeli conflict escalated in the fall of 1973, it was planned to land troops from the Ushakov in Port Said to support the Egyptian side. Fortunately, however, this plan was cancelled. In the same year, the ship cruised off the island of Corfu.
In 1980, "Ushakov" again sailed in the Mediterranean. Last entry into combat service light cruiser was in 1982.
In February of the following year, the ship was mothballed again, and in 1987 it was completely expelled from the navy. In 1992, after the collapse of the USSR, Ushakov was sold for metal to India. Thus ended the journey of this ship.

Crew: 759 people
Power plant: Nuclear steam generating plant with two water-cooled reactors with a thermal power of 300 MW each and a steam turbine plant with two GTZs with a power of 70,000 hp each; 2 automated steam boilers KVG-2.
Armament: anti-ship missile - 20 inclined launchers of supersonic anti-ship missiles 3M45 of the P-700 "Granit" complex; anti-submarine - 1x2 launchers of the Metel PLRK (10 rocket-torpedoes) 2x5 533-mm TA (10 torpedoes); air defense systems - 12x8 VPU S-300F "Fort" air defense systems (96 5V55RM missiles) 2x2 launchers ZIF-122 Osa-M air defense systems (40 9M33 missiles) 8x6 30-mm AK-630M (48000 rounds); artillery - 2x1 100-mm AK-100 (1200 rounds); rocket-bomb - 1x12 213 mm RBU-6000 (72 RSL) 2x6 305 mm RBU-1000 (48 RSL); aviation - 3 Ka-27PL and/or Ka-25RT helicopters.
The heavy nuclear cruiser received the name of Ushakov only in 1992, after many years of service. Initially, it was called "Kirov".
"Kirov" was laid down in Leningrad at the Baltic Shipyard on March 26, 1973. On December 27, 1977, the nuclear cruiser was launched, but it was included in the Northern Fleet only in 1980.
During the service, the nuclear cruiser twice helped those who were in distress at sea. He helped rescue the crews of the K-219 and Komsomolets submarines.
But there was a serious accident on the nuclear cruiser. “When the Admiral Ushakov was in combat service in the Mediterranean, in the nuclear power plant there was a leak of the primary coolant", - so describes the nature of the damage. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the ship was soon put into reserve, and in 1999 it was decided to write it off altogether.
But veterans intervened and V.N. Lopatin, deputy State Duma. Thanks to his influence, it was possible to achieve resolutions in the Duma and the Federation Council, according to which the ship was to be restored and modernized.
However, the implementation of this project required about 2 billion rubles. It was not possible to collect these funds, and in 2014 the question arose of its disposal. The final decision to destroy the ship was made the following year.
The media wrote that “according to the military department, the modernization of the ship would cost the budget too much, because the cruiser has outdated non-serial equipment. In addition, in 2015 Kirov will celebrate its 35th anniversary since its construction. .
In 2016, spent fuel was unloaded from the ship nuclear fuel. Its final destruction, unfortunately, is only a matter of time.

Little can be said about the destroyer "Fearless", which was renamed "Admiral Ushakov" in 2004. This is a warship that is still in service.
The destroyer was laid down on May 6, 1988, and launched on December 28, 1991 (today it will be 25 years old). Until 1994, the ship belonged to the Baltic Fleet, after that the Fearless was transferred to the Northern Fleet.
Pavlov writes that the ship “in the summer of 1998, during the exit to the sea due to the stop of the KTU in a storm, he was almost thrown onto the rocks” .
