Russian Navy will receive about 60 new surface ships and submarines under the state rearmament program by 2020, said the president of United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) Roman Trotsenko on Apr 27.

According to Trotsenko, Russian Navy "began actively ordering warships; that will help it to reach crucially new level by 2020 and meet all present-day challenges", reports ITAR-TASS.

The USC president pointed out that "the Navy has already contracted 'long' series of surface ships and submarines". In particular, the question is Project 636 diesel electric subs built by Admiralteyskie Verfi, six Project 885 Yasen nuclear-powered cruise missile subs built by Sevmash shipyard, and series of corvettes built by Amur Shipyard.

"And now shipbuilders must work hard to execute all orders in time and at high level, not to let partners down", Roman Trotsenko emphasized.

By 2020, Russian Navy will receive 23 new types of surface ships and submarines; Defense Industry Development Federal Program provides RUR 292 bln for that purpose, said academician Valentin Pashin, research manager and director general of the Krylov Central Scientific & Research Institute. According to Pashin, 23 new types of surface ships and submarines will be laid down and delivered to Russian naval mariners. Overall displacement of ships will make 800,000 tons. Major part of tonnage (550,000 tons) will be displaced by new ships, the rest – by those subject to modernization.

"Shipyards are ruled by the Defense Industry Development Federal Program. Only its naval section is financed by RUR 292 bln. This sum is quite enough to modernize production, introduce scientific innovations, and train high-qualified personnel", said the scientist.
