Slava-class Cruisers
The ''Slava'' class, Soviet designation Project 1164 ''Atlant'' (), is a class of guided-missile cruisers designed and constructed in the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy, and currently operated by the Russian Navy. All ships were built and planned to be built at the Shipyard named after 61 Communards in Mykolaiv, Ukrainian SSR. Design and history The design started in the late 1960s, based around use of the P-500 Bazalt missile. The cruiser was intended as a less expensive conventionally powered alternative to the nuclear-powered s. All are now armed with P-1000 Vulkan AShM missiles, developed in the late 1970s to late 1980s. There was a long delay in this programme, while the problems with the Bazalt were resolved. These ships acted as flagships for numerous task forces. All ships were built at the 61 Kommunar yard in Mykolaiv (Nikolaev), Ukrainian SSR. The class was a follow-up to the , which the Soviet Navy typed as a Large Anti-submarine Ship (Russ. BPK), constructed at th ...

Mykolayiv Shipyard
Mykolaiv Shipyard () () was a major shipyard located in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. Originally named the Nikolayev Admiralty, and constructed in 1788 for the purpose of supplying the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the Mykolaiv Shipyard was famous for having built warships such as ''Vitse-admiral Popov'', '' Knyaz' Potemkin-Tavricheskiy and Imperator Nikolai I'' for the Russian Empire, and ''Soobrazitelny'', ''Gnevny'', ''Nikolayev'' and '' Slava for the'' Soviet Union''.'' Until 2017, the shipyard was named as the Shipyard named after 61 Communards, a name inherited from its period as a major Soviet Navy shipyard.The shipyard has also been referred to as the Mykolaiv North Shipyard, to differentiate it from the Black Sea Shipyard present in the same city.Polmar, p. 407 The Mykolaiv shipyard is a subsidiary of the Ukrainian state-run defence conglomerate Ukroboronprom. The shipyard has largely been inactive since its declaration of bankruptcy in 2020, with its facilities and offices larg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kamov Ka-25
The Kamov Ka-25 (NATO reporting name "Hormone") is a naval helicopter, developed for the Soviet Navy in the USSR from 1958. Design and development In the late 1950s there was an urgent demand for anti-submarine helicopters for deployment on new ships equipped with helicopter platforms entering service with the Soviet Navy. Kamov's compact design was chosen for production in 1958. To speed the development of the new anti-submarine helicopter Kamov designed and built a prototype to prove the cabin and dynamic components layout; designated Ka-20, this demonstrator was not equipped with mission equipment, corrosion protection or shipboard operational equipment. The Ka-20 was displayed at the 1961 Tushino Aviation Day display. Definitive prototypes of the Ka-25 incorporated mission equipment and corrosion protection for the structure. The rotor system introduced aluminium alloy blades pressurised with nitrogen for crack detection, lubricated hinges, hydraulic powered controls, alc ...

Neptune Missile
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun. It is the fourth-largest planet in the Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth. Compared to Uranus, its neighbouring ice giant, Neptune is slightly smaller, but more massive and denser. Being composed primarily of gases and liquids, it has no well-defined solid surface. Neptune orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an orbital distance of . It is named after the Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol representing Neptune's trident. Neptune is not visible to the unaided eye and is the only planet in the Solar System that was not initially observed by direct empirical observation. Rather, unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led Alexis Bouvard to hypothesise that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. After Bouvard's death, the position of Neptune was mathematically pre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
