10.09.2009
Black Sea Fleet headquarters refutes the information that that as a consequence of smoke on Moskva cruiser several persons got hurt and the ship suffered damages. The cruiser is in serviceable conditions and the crew is engaged in daily activities, as Andrei Krylov, Chief of Information and Communication Service of Black Sea Fleet said.
The Information Service of Russian Navy previously reported to Interfax that a smoke had taken place on the Black Sea cruiser Moskva on Sept, 7, but it was rapidly eliminated. "The case of smoking at auxiliary machinery compartment occurred on Sept, 7. The source of smoke was operationally localized and eliminated. No injured personnel found", the information service informed.
The smoke in ship compartment occurred while being at regular moorage, specified Navy Staff. Auxiliary machinery compartment has no connection with armament support systems.
Missile cruiser Moskva is designed for naval forces support in distant regions of seas and oceans and defeat of enemy's large surface ships, primarily aircraft carriers. The vessels of this class are often called "flattop chasers". The ship's length is 186 m, endurance is 30 days. The crew is 416 men including 38 officers. The cruiser's maximum speed is 30 knots (60 kph); the cruising range may be 6 000 miles (12 000 km) when uniform speed is 18 knots. Although the ship's weapon is all-purpose, it is not a nuclear carrier.
Multipurpose ship-to-air missile system S-300 is capable to destroy aerial targets on altitude up to 27 km on the distance of 55 km from the ship's basing site. Furthermore, the cruiser has self-defense SAM systems used for defeat of aerial targets on altitude up to 4 km on the distance of 15 km from the ship. Totally the cruiser is armed with 16 long-range cruise missiles.
There are different kinds of artillery systems mounted aboard, including those intended for combating small-size naval and aerial targets on distance of 3 km.
