The ship is Donets. Mystery of the death of the Russian gunboat Donets. Modernization and refurbishment
October 29, 1914 during the First World War in Odessa was sunk gunboat "Donets" Turkish destroyer under strange circumstances.
To this day, it is still not clear to the end who was pleased with the death of the Russian gunboat Donets.
Then 30 sailors from Odessa were killed. Until then, submariners in Odessa honor the memory of the victims. October 29 at the Odessa second Christian cemetery near the memorial to those killed on the boat "Donets" Association of sailors-submariners them. AI Marinesko with the participation of cadets of the Naval School named after A.I. AI Marinesko ONMA gathers a rally in memory.
Surprise attack
On October 16, 1914, according to the old style, the Turkish destroyers Muhavenet and Gayret, belonging to the German-Turkish fleet, entered the Odessa bay under cover of night and easily sank the gunboat Donets. 30 crew members were killed, 107 people were on the shore at the time of the shelling. At the same time, the Donets boat was part of the defense detachment of the north-western region of the Black Sea, that is, its vocation was to defend Odessa and the sea approaches to it.
The strangeness of what happened was that on that unfortunate night, as usual, the Donets were in touch with the observation posts located on the shore at Bolshoi Fontana. That is, information about the movement of ships at sea should have been received. The fact that there are Turkish ships, according to scientists of the last century, was known. All measures were taken to protect the boat. At least, this is what the commander wrote in his report after the attack and death of Donets.
Then why was most of the crew on the shore, and why, when a possible attack by Turkish destroyers was announced, no measures were taken to strengthen the security?
Then, in October 1914, the commander of the Turkish fleet, the German admiral Sushon, who wanted to involve Turkey in the war, led all available high-speed ships of the fleet to the Russian ports.
The attack on all ports was supposed to begin almost simultaneously, but the commander of the destroyer corvette-captain Mudlung rushed into the attack on Odessa significantly ahead of time, which aggravated the situation, - the Odessa naval historian Igor Alekseev justifies the situation.
Yes, and Odessa submariners, headed by Yevgeny Livshchits, believe that the cause of the tragedy is trivial. War is war, the attack was sudden.
Carelessness or a political move?
Maritime historians of the last century are much more strict. They did not spare the Black Sea Fleet in their criticism, calling it helpless. For example, in the 30s of the twentieth century, the historian Nikolai Novikov undertook the investigation of the sinking of the Donets. His book "Operation of the fleet against the coast in the Black Sea in 1914-1917." was very popular and withstood more than one edition.
At about 2:30 pm, the signalmen of the observation post Bolshoi Fontan noticed an indistinct fire in the sea through the darkness, which for a long time held in one place, - says Novikov in the book.
The foreman of the post reported this to the coastal department of the port, from where they replied that at the moment two steamers had left Odessa and, probably, the fire of one of them was visible at the post.
Despite the fact that the signalmen were inclined to attribute the fire they saw to a boat or low-sided vessel, the foreman did not attach any importance to this phenomenon and was content with the answer of the coastal department, why he did not report anything to the Donets. At about 3:20 a.m., from behind the Vorontsov lighthouse, the silhouettes of two ships appeared, sailing with all the navigation lights installed. The actual identification that these were destroyers occurred only at the moment when the latter had already entered the harbor and passed the Donets traverse.
As soon as the chief of watch of the latter sent a warning to the commander and himself rushed to the left 152-mm gun, one of the destroyers, Gayret, launched a torpedo at the Donets from a distance of no more than a half-cable torpedo, which exploded in the bow boiler room, creating a hole near 1 sq m, with a strong tear in the adjacent sheathing sheets.
The explosion took place at 3:25. The boat quickly sank with its bow and, banked to the port side, began to sink so quickly that the personnel who jumped upward were already deprived of the opportunity to offer any resistance and had to take care of their salvation.
After all the circumstances of the Turkish attack on the inhabitants of Odessa were restored, the author concluded:
The security measures taken on the ships of the Odessa detachment and approved by the command, with their primitiveness and naivety, with particular expressiveness testify to the inability of the local naval command to take into account the situation and find the necessary solution.
In the Odessa part of the fleet, they find themselves completely unprepared for the establishment of the simplest types of protection for themselves and their bases. The Black Sea command had enough time to perceive these instructions and introduce them into the minds of the command staff.
Why the Donets' fleet and crew behaved strangely, whoever liked it, is not completely clear. It's a shame if the really dead sailors became victims of carelessness, and possibly pawns in political games.
Thirty sailors from the sunken boat "Donets" are buried at the Odessa second Christian cemetery. The grave was abandoned for many years. But thanks to the efforts of the Odessa Association of Submariners. AI Marinesko memorial was restored several years ago. Memorable meetings are held there every year.

Ship history:
Ordered as part of the 1895 shipbuilding program. Built according to the drawings of the Manjur gunboat. In total, 6 ships were built, differing from each other in the main mechanisms, the design of the chimneys, windage and the general layout of the premises.
Enlisted in the lists of ships of the Black Sea Fleet on January 30, 1886, laid down on May 21, 1886 on the slipway of the Nikolaev Admiralty in Nikolaev, launched on November 30, 1887, entered service in 1889.
From time to time she was a member of the Mediterranean squadron and the practical Black Sea squadron. In 1891 she took part in complex oceanographic research.
Underwent a major overhaul of the hull and mechanisms in 1900 at the Black Sea plant in Nikolaev with the replacement of fire-tube boilers with water-tube boilers, replacement of the spar and the upper deck flooring. In addition, cargo booms for mines were installed.
From 1901 it was used as a training ship. The second major overhaul was in 1912 in the Sevastopol port with rearmament. On October 29, 1914 she was sunk in Odessa by a Turkish torpedo boat. In December 1914, it was raised and, after repairs, was re-commissioned.
During the First World War, she was a member of the detachment for the protection of the north-western coast of the Black Sea. Since August 1916 - a member of the Danube Flotilla. On January 18, 1918, she went over to the side of Soviet power. On May 1, 1918, it was captured by German troops in Sevastopol, in November 1918 by the White Guards, and in December 1918 by the Anglo-French interventionists. From April 1919, it was part of the naval forces of the South of Russia.
In May 1919, it sank during a storm near the Tendrovskaya Spit.
On November 28, 1921, it was lifted up and delivered to the port for storage, and in 1928 it was dismantled for metal.
SUPREME COURT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
DEFINITION
Case N 71-B07-9
Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court Russian Federation composed of:
Chairman A. N. Zelepukin,
judges Gulyaeva G.A.,
considered at the hearing of August 3, 2007 a civil case on the claim of P. to the State institution - the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Baltic city district of the Kaliningrad region on the recognition of the right to the appointment of an early labor pension for old age and the recovery of compensation for moral damage on the supervisory complaint of P. on the ruling of the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court dated September 11, 2006, which canceledthe decision of the court of first instance and the ruling of the court of second instance in terms of recognizing the right to assign an early retirement pension for old age and a new decision was made to refuse to satisfy the claims in this part.
Having heard the report of the judge of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation G.A. Gulyaeva, the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation
established:
P. filed this claim with the court, referring to the fact that on August 11, 2005 he applied to the State Institution - the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Baltic City District of the Kaliningrad Region with an application for the appointment of an early retirement pension on the basis of subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of Article 27 Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the RussianFederation. "However, by the decision of the pension body of September 12, 2005, the application was denied with reference to the lack of the necessary special experience. vessel "Donets" from January 1, 1998 to August 11, 2005, since there is no information confirming the special working conditions.
The defendant did not admit the claim.
By the decision of the Baltic City Court of the Kaliningrad Region of December 21, 2005, P.'s claims were partially satisfied. For P., the right to assign an early retirement pension for old age is recognized on the basis of subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of article 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation" from August 12, 2005 and to the State Institution - Management The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Baltic City District of the Kaliningrad Region is obliged to appoint P. old-age pension from August 12, 2005; the claims for recovery of compensation for moral damage were denied.
By the decision of the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Kaliningrad Regional Court dated February 8, 2006, the decision was upheld.
By the ruling of the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court dated September 11, 2006, these court decisions were canceled in the part of recognizing the right to the appointment of an early retirement pension for old age, a new decision was made to refuse to satisfy the claims in this part.
In the supervisory appeal P. asks to cancel the ruling of the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court dated September 11, 2006 and to keep the ruling of the first instance court and the ruling of the second instance court in force.
By a ruling of a judge of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated April 6, 2007, the case was requested to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and by a ruling dated June 28, 2007, it was transferred for consideration to the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
Having checked the case materials, having discussed the arguments for the supervisory appeal, the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation finds it subject to satisfaction.
In accordance with Article 387 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the grounds for canceling or changing court decisions by way of supervision are significant violations of substantive or procedural law.
When considering this civil case, a significant violation of the norms of substantive law was admitted by the supervisory instance court.
Canceling the decision of the court of first instance and the ruling of the court of second instance in part and refusing to satisfy P.'s requirements for recognizing the right to assign an early retirement pension for old age, the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court proceeded from the fact that, on the basis of subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation"for the early appointment of an old-age labor pension arises in connection with special working conditions, and therefore only those periods when the ships of the sea, river and fishing fleets were at sea, and the work of the crew of these ships was associated with special climatic working conditions, long separation from the coast, in difficult weather and climatic conditions.
The judicial board finds the indicated conclusion of the supervisory instance court illegal, based on the incorrect application and interpretation of the substantive law.
In accordance with subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation", an old-age labor pension is assigned before reaching the age established by Article 7 of this Federal Law, for men upon reaching the age of 55 , women upon reaching the age of 50, if they have worked, respectively, for at least 12 years 6 monthsand 10 years in the crew on ships of the sea, river and fishing fleets (with the exception of port vessels permanently operating in the port water area, service and crew vessels, suburban and intracity traffic vessels) and have insurance experience, respectively, at least 25 and 20 years.
Based on the literal interpretation of the specified norm of the Law, the sailing personnel of ships of the sea, river and fishing fleets enjoy the right to an early retirement pension, regardless of the type of work performed (transportation of goods, passengers or catching fish, seafood, acceptance of finished products in the field or other work), from the name their professions and positions. The departmental affiliation of the respective courts, as well as the organizational and legal form and form of ownership of the ship owner, does not matter.
In this case, documentary evidence is required that the position of the employee belongs to the ship's personnel, and the vessels on which he worked do not belong to the port, constantly working in the port water area, auxiliary, traveling, suburban and intracity traffic.
Similar provisions were contained in the earlier existing pension legislation, which directly follows from the meaning of subparagraph "and" paragraph 1 of Article 12 of the RF Law "On State Pensions in the Russian Federation" dated November 20, 1990.
It should also be borne in mind that in accordance with paragraph 9 of the instructions of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Russian Federation of April 20, 1992 N 1-28-U "On the procedure for applying the Law of the RSFSR" On state pensions in the RSFSR "when assigning pensions in connection with special working conditions and pensions for length of service years "in special experience, along with periods of work in the crew of ships of the sea and river fleet for the carriage of passengersand cargo or as part of the fleet of the fishing industry for the extraction and processing of fish and seafood, as well as other work during the voyage includes some periods immediately preceding or immediately following such work. Prior to the dispatch of the ship's crew to fulfill the voyage assignment, there are paid reserves and periods when a crew member is employed in his specialty for repairs and other work necessary to send the ship on a voyage. The following periods after the end of the voyage include the periods: anchorage of the vessel in the port under loading and unloading operations, inter-voyage maintenance of the vessel or its repair, the presence of crew members at the end of the voyage on basic and additional leaves, paid reserve and time off, maternity leave, paid parental leave until the age established by law (but no later than October 6, 1992, when Article 167 of the Labor Code, as amended, excluding such a possibility came into force), temporary disability, being on business trips, as well as other periods when not transfer to another job is required.
The court of first instance, when resolving the dispute, established that P. since November 10, 1994 has been working as the second electrician of the cable ship "Donets". The position of the second electrician is included in the staff of this vessel, in connection with which the court came to the correct conclusion that the position held by P. belongs to the crew of the cable ship "Donets".
Also, the court of first instance established that the cable ship "Donets" by its tactical and technical characteristics belongs to the category of ships of the sea fleet and its status in the disputed period, i.e. from January 1, 1998 to August 11, 2005, did not change. During the specified period, the Donets ship was continuously in the campaign (constant operational readiness No. 1), and P. during the full working day performed work in his specialty on repair and other work necessary to send the ship on a voyage.
Under such circumstances, the court of first instance came to the correct conclusion about the inclusion in the special length of service, which gives the right to early assignment of an old-age retirement pension on the basis of subparagraph 9 of paragraph 1 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On labor pensions in Russian Federation "the period of work of P. as the second electromechanic of the cable ship" Donets "from January 1, 1998year to 11 August 2005.
Taking into account the foregoing, the Judicial Collegium recognizes the decision of the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court of September 11, 2006 in terms of canceling the decision of the court of first instance and the ruling of the court of second instance and making a new decision illegal, and the decision of the Baltic City Court of the Kaliningrad Region of December 21, 2005 and the ruling of the Judicial Collegium for civil cases of the Kaliningrad Regional Court dated February 8, 2006in terms of satisfying the requirements of P. correct and subject to remain in force.
Guided by Articles 387, 390 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation
defined:
the ruling of the Presidium of the Kaliningrad Regional Court of September 11, 2006 in terms of canceling the decision of the Baltic City Court of the Kaliningrad Region of December 21, 2005 and the determination of the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Kaliningrad Regional Court of February 8, 2006 and the adoption of a new decision to refuse to satisfy the requirements of P. on the recognition of the right to the appointment of an early retirement pension for old age cancel... To uphold the decision of the Baltic City Court of the Kaliningrad Region of December 21, 2005 and the ruling of the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Kaliningrad Regional Court of February 8, 2006 in terms of satisfying P.'s claims on recognition of the right to grant an early retirement pension.
The Kamchatka Transport Prosecutor's Office completed an investigation into the collision of the Donets ship with a submarine in September last year. The ship's captain was found guilty of violating the rules of navigation and fined.
Let us recall the circumstances of this incident. RS "Donets" (LLC "Rybolovnoe") worked in coastal fishing mode: at night he went fishing, in the evening of the next day he returned to the city with the catch. On September 21, another flight awaited him. At about 2 am he left berth No. 10, located in the Mokhovaya Bay. At that time in the bay there was an atomic submarine (nuclear submarine) "St. George the Victorious". It was less than a mile from the shore.
At 02.10 the hulls of the seiner and the submarine touched.
Fortunately, none of the crew members of the vessel and the nuclear submarine was injured. The submarine was lightly damaged.
"St. George the Victorious", like all Soviet nuclear submarines, has two hulls. Ballast tanks are placed between them, with the help of which the boat sinks and floats. As a result of the incident, a crack formed in the main ballast tank between the hulls and on the outside of the sub's side. Repair work to restore the tightness of the tank cost about 27 thousand rubles.
It is worth emphasizing that the nuclear submarine was preparing to go to sea. This forced the military to carry out repairs on a tight schedule. If they had more time, then the submarine would probably dock, which is much more expensive, and these costs would fall on the perpetrators.
Donets turned out to be stronger. He did not find any damage to the hull plating and welds in the impact area (at a depth of 0.4 m from the waterline).
How could a collision have happened?
According to the crew members of the seiner, events developed as follows. The navigational watch on the bridge was carried by the 2nd mate and the helmsman of the watch. They did not observe any signage lights on the submarine. The boat was not reflected on the radar screen. When the fishermen did see the submarine, it was 100-150 m away. The helmsman was given the command to "board". However, given the speed of the vessel (5 knots per hour), it was not possible to avoid touching the submarine's hull.
However, this story did not sound very convincing. As the fishermen from another vessel (MRTK "Kormchiy"), which at the time of the incident was heading on the opposite direction, said, a yellow flashing light was on on the submarine. It was visible at least 5 miles away. The visibility was complete. The nuclear submarine was clearly observed visually and displayed on the radar screen.
Maybe the equipment on Donets was faulty? The inspection showed that the means of communication, observation and navigation were in good working order.
As a result, after evaluating all versions of what happened, it was concluded that the cause of the incident was the improper organization of the watch service and navigation on the Donets RS. In particular, the lookout sailor was not put on watch.
The Kamchatka transport prosecutor's office opened an administrative case against the captain of the vessel K. Gaidamovich under the article “violation of the rules of navigation”. The case was considered by the administration of the seaport of Petropavlovsk. The captain was fined one thousand rubles. In addition, on the recommendation of the transport prosecutor's office, he was brought to disciplinary responsibility.

Support vessels of the basing system.
The ships supporting the basing system primarily include: cable ships
(KBS), killers (KIL), port icebreakers (PTLD), port (harbor) tugs (RB) and floating barracks (PKZ).
The main purpose of the KBS is the laying, lifting and repair of underwater communication cables. These vessels serve not only military cables. The construction of the KBS for the USSR Navy was carried out in Finland.
The rapid development of the Northern and Far Eastern regions required the creation of a large KBS (BKBS) for the development of a system of extended submarine communication lines. This KBS was designed at the end of the 50s at the Wyartsilya shipyard according to the TTZ of the USSR Navy and under the supervision of its specialists. The carrying capacity of the vessel was determined at 2,400 tons of cable and 270 tons of other cable equipment. The total displacement of the BCBS reached 6,810 tons. The BCBS was equipped with two bow 20-ton winches and two mobile winches. The equipment of the BCBS made it possible to work at depths of up to 2,500 m.
The main power plant was two-shaft, diesel-electric, and provided a speed of more than 15 knots. The head BKBS was built in 1962 and received the name "Ingul". In total, 8 BCBS were built at this shipyard until 1978. Moreover, the last three had an increased carrying capacity of 2,800 tons of cable and a slightly larger displacement.
Cable ship "Inguri", built in Finland for the USSR Navy in 1978 ... Main characteristics: Standard displacement 3,770 tons; full 7,031 t; Length - 130.4 m; Width 16.03 m; Draft 5.22 m; Power 2 х 2 150 hp with.; Maximum speed 15.7 knots; Cruising range - 4,000 miles at 13 knots; Swimming autonomy 30 days; The crew is 188 people.
After the completion of the construction of the BKBS, it was decided to build small KBS (MCBS) for laying and repairing submarine cables in the internal seas of the USSR. MKBS pr.1122 was designed and built at the same shipyard (Vyartsilya). The carrying capacity of this vessel was more than 700 tons, and the total displacement reached 2,145 tons. The MSC was equipped with two 10-ton winches. The equipment made it possible to operate at depths of up to 1,000 m. The lead ship of project 1122 "Emba" was built in 1980, and until 1987, another 5 MCBS were built. The last two had a length of 10 m and a total displacement of 2,400 tons.
Small cable vessel project 1122 "Donets"
For the reception from the shore, transportation, setting and retrieval of the roadstead equipment, special vessels were created with powerful crane equipment - killers (KIL). In fact, these are seaworthy and relatively fast floating cranes. All post-war KILs for the USSR Navy were created in the GDR
The first KIL of project 706 was built at the Neptune shipyard in 1955 according to the TTZ of the USSR Navy. This KIL had a bow crane with a lifting capacity of 75 tons, a total displacement of 1 256 tons, and a full speed of more than 11 knots. The depth of work was allowed at 40 m. In total, until 1959, 10 KILs of this project were built. The next KIL project already had a stern cargo device with a carrying capacity of 115 tons. The displacement increased to 3,150 tons. The depth of work was already allowed up to 300 m. The head killer KIL-1 was built at the same shipyard in 1965. Until 1976, 10 KILs were built according to this project.
Keel vessel "KIL-25" of project 419. Laid down at the Neptun shipyard in the port of Rostock (GDR), serial number 149/1244, launched on 01/17/1969, became part of the USSR Navy on 08/30/1969. to the Black Sea Fleet. Main characteristics: Displacement: 3151 tons; Dimensions: length - 87.3 m, width - 14.8 m, draft - 5.01 m; Full speed: 13.2 knots; Cruising range: 4000 miles at 10 knots; Power plant: diesel-electric, 2 shafts, 1770 hp; Carrying capacity: 65 tons; Crew: 45 people.
Since in many cases the project numbers for all ships built overseas
were appointed after they were accepted into the Navy, then very often the construction number of the lead ship was used as the project number. It was widely used in their everyday life by design specialists, and the higher authorities then legalized it. Therefore, KIL-1 in wide use received the project number 145, which actually corresponded to building number the lead ship.
In the mid-80s, construction began on the last series of KILs of the USSR Navy, project 141.
The maximum lifting capacity of the aft crane equipment was 150 tons, the total displacement reached 5,250 tons. Unlike its predecessors, this KIL could provide (short-term) basing of autonomous underwater vehicles weighing up to 70 tons. Thus, this KIL could be used to some extent as a search and rescue vessel. In total, until 1991, it was possible to build 9 KILs of this project.
The conceptual design of the cable vessel has been developed
A conceptual design of a cable vessel was developed by specialists of the 5th department of FSUE "Krylov State science Center"within the framework of the Federal Target Program" RGMT 2009-2016 ", a conceptual design of a multipurpose cable vessel with a modern integrated control system has been developed to ensure the implementation of underwater work on laying cable communication lines and carrying out underwater work at sea.
The main task performed by the Krylov State Research Center was the development of documentation for the conceptual design of a cable vessel, analysis of the existing national and foreign scientific, technical and technological groundwork for technical solutions, equipment for cable vessels and related systems in terms of experience in the design, construction and operation of cable vessels.
In the course of the work, the design documentation for the conceptual design of the cable vessel was developed. The appearance of cable vessels for the marginal seas of Russia and the Arctic has been clarified. The main design solutions have been substantiated. A list of accessory equipment has been prepared. Calculations of the mass load, stability and unsinkability, running speed, fuel consumption in the main operating modes of the cable vessel have been carried out.
Proposals have been prepared for inclusion in the feasibility study for the creation of a domestic cable vessel and proposals for the fundamental construction technology. The terms of reference for the development of a technical design for a cable vessel has been prepared. Revealed methodological solutions and modern tendencies applied in the design of cable ships and equipment for them and research of the world technical level for the proposed technical solutions.
During the development of the conceptual design, the main characteristics of the large cable vessel were determined. The length of the vessel is 133.5 m; width - 21 m, draft - 6 m, displacement - 10274 tons.
During the development of the conceptual design of the cable vessel, its appearance was formed.
The vessel is of the icebreaker type, has a developed superstructure, in which hangars for working with cables, technical and living quarters are located. In the upper part of the superstructure, there is the main wheelhouse and a reception area for helicopters of the Ka - 27 type. In the aft part of the superstructure, there is a redundant navigation bridge with control posts for cable-laying equipment.
The vessel is equipped with a set of cable-laying equipment that provides automated cable laying from the stern of the vessel and repair of cables from the bow. A set of equipment is also provided for supporting and involved in the process of cable-laying work in ice conditions.
For storage of the laid cable, there are two main cable tenks and two reserve ones, the total weight of the loaded cable reaches about 5500 tons. Basic characteristic feature cable tenx, is its waterproofness. The need to create a waterproof storage is due to the verification of the cable by filling the tenks with water.
The developed cable vessel, in contrast to foreign analogues, is distinguished by the ability to work in ice conditions, the coastal zone of the Arctic shelf of Russia, as well as Of the Far East... In addition to the increased class of ice reinforcements, the cable vessel, which provides not only the possibility of work in ice conditions, but also, if necessary, the hidden placement of special equipment. The presence of advanced technological equipment and a sufficiently large number of premises for command and service personnel, if necessary, allows the vessel to be used as a research vessel, in a number of variants as a diving and, if necessary, a command vessel with appropriate additional equipment.
The features of the developed cable vessel distinguish it from typical cable vessels, in particular those offered by foreign companies, and give it the status of "Unparalleled in its class". The work was carried out within the framework of the Federal Target Program "Development of Civil Marine Engineering 2009 - 2016" on the basis of contract No. 167-52 / 12 dated July 30, 2012, concluded between the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Krylov State Scientific Center" and JSC "Scientific Research Institute" Atoll ".
