Repair and modernization of large nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is underway at Sevmash shipyard (United Shipbuilding Corporation), the company says.
The ship placed at the dry dock of Sevmash has undergone dismantling of obsolete equipment and is being prepared for installation of the new equipment. Abrasive blasting of the hull will be completed by the end of the year.
Detailed engineering documentation for the repair works is developed by Severnoye Design Bureau OJSC (Saint-Petersburg) which designed the ship.
As of today, about a thousand of shipyard employees are involved in the operations. The most intense repair period will require simultaneous work of over 3,000 employees, the statement says.
