Within a month they will be carrying out tests of operation systems, facilities, equipment, the Admiralty Shipyard press release said.
The Saint Petersburg diesel-electric submarine of Project 677 (Lada) has a full-load displacement of 1,765 tons, LOA - 67 m, breadth - 7,1 m, maximum underwater and surface speed - 21 and 10 knots respectively. Maximum range - 650 miles. Endurance - 45 days. Maximum depth - 300 m. The submarine was built using the modern engineering achievements of the domestic shipbuilding. It has 130 samples of new technology. Among the latest developments - small size, low noise radio electronic weapon systems with minimal power consumption, state-of-the-art equipment and new precision-guided weapons.
The Saint Petersburg is the first in a series of Russian diesel-electric submarines of the fourth generation. Currently, the Admiralty Shipyards has been building ships of Project 677 Kronstadt and Sevastopol. The warships are designed to hunt and destroy hostile submarines, surface ships, for protection of naval bases, onshore and offshore communications, and reconnaissance.
Admiralty Shipyards OJSC founded in 1704 specializes in building of submarines. The company is part of the Western Center of Shipbuilding of the state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation. The shipyard has built over 300 submarines (41 nuclear-powered), 68 deep and underwater vessels.
