Russia Lays Down Diesel Sub Stary Oskol for Black Sea Fleet on Aug 17
15.08.2012
The solemn keel-laying ceremony of diesel electric submarine for Black Sea Fleet (BSF) will take place at 12-th workshop of JSC Admiralteyskie Verfi shipyard on Aug 17, 2012.
Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Viktor Chirkov, president of United Shipbuilding Corporation Andrei Diachkov, director general of JSC Admiralteyskie Verfi Alexander Buzakov, representatives of St. Petersburg city administration, Leningrad Naval Base high-ranking officials, and other honored guests were invited to attend the ceremony.
Project 06363 diesel electric submarine Stary Oskol (serial number 01672) is the third sub in series being built by Admiralteyskie Verfi for Russian Navy. Just like the lead sub and the first serial one, SSK Stary Oskol is meant to reinforce BSF submarine fleet. According to Russian Navy's plans, Admiralteyskie Verfi will build six subs of that kind for Black Sea Fleet.
Lead submarine of the project, B-261 Novorossiysk was laid down in Aug 2010 (serial number 01670); keel laying of the second hull, B-237 Rostov-na-Donu (serial number 01671) was held in Nov 2011. Alexander Buzakov, the then acting director general of Admiralteyskie Verfi said in the spring of 2012 that the lead sub would be launched late in 2013.
Submarines of upgraded Project 06363 developed by Rubin Central Design Bureau are more effective comparing to the basic project. Main difference lies in considerably higher attack capability thanks to newest missile system Caliber-PL engaging not only sea targets but land inshore ones too. Optimal combination of acoustic concealment and target detection range, advanced inertial navigation system, up-to-date automated tactical data system, powerful rapid torpedo and missile arms make subs of this project the world's leaders in non-nuclear submarine building industry.
In NATO, these submarines are classified as Improved Kilo.
Submerged displacement 3,950 tons
Surface speed 17 knots
Submerged speed 20 knots
Operating depth 240 meters
Test depth 300 meters
Armament: six 533-mm torpedo tubes (combat load 18 missiles and torpedoes)
Endurance 45 days
Crew 52 men
