Corvette Soobrazitelny is ready to meet the crew

19.10.2010 The second ship of Project 20380 corvette Soobrazitelny is fully prepared to meet the crew which has been already formed, reported press service of Severnaya Verf shipyard to Central Navy Portal.

Presently, the ship undergoes mooring trials and being prepared for shipyard's sea trials which are to begin in Nov-Dec 2010. The ship delivery term – end of 2010 – can be postponed due to bad weather conditions which may interfere in the sea trials program.

Soobrazitelny is the first serial ship of Project 20380. She was laid down in 2003 and launched in March 2010.

The third ship – corvette Boiky – will be ready for launching by the end of 2010. Nonetheless, the ship will be launched no sooner than Feb-March 2011, since in winter time it is more convenient to conduct outfitting works inside covered berth than at fitting quay, underlined the shipyard's press secretary.

Corvette Stoiky which is the fourth ship of Project 20380 was laid down at Severnaya Verf in 2006; hull shaping will be completed by the end of 2010.

Delivery dates of corvettes Boiky and Stoiky are 2011 and 2012 respectively.
