Krylov Centre on the eve of its 120th anniversary
FSUE The Krylov State Research Centre, the founder of the Russian submarines naval architecture and marine engineering, celebrates in November 2014 the 120th anniversary, the Krylov Centre press office said.
In the early 20th century creation of the first Russian battle submarine Delfin (Dolphin) began in the testing / trial tank of the Naval Department (which later evolved into The Krylov Research Centre) and was carried out under the guidance of an outstanding Naval architect and shipbuilder Ivan Bubnov.
The design of the first Soviet nuclear-powered submarine of Project 627 also started to be developed at the Central Research Institute named after A. Krylov. The submarine project was led the Institute Deputy Director for Science Vladimir Peregoudov with Victor Pershin as the scientific director of the project. Later Mr. Peregoudov was appointed as the chief designer of the submarine and the head of the Special Marine Engineering Design Bureau "Malakhit".
All Russian submarines of more than 300 projects underwent trials at the Krylov Research Centre, in its testing tanks, in cavitation tunnel, on durability, acoustic, magnetic and nuclear radiation stands. The Centre has developed all the regulatory technical documents (procedures, standards, design rules, guidelines, etc.) in main specifications: propulsive quality, seaworthiness, steerability / maneuverability, durability, nuclear and radiation safety. The Krylov Research Centre also specializes in the design, engineering of propellers, of anti-sonar coating (anechoic tiles), of shock absorbers, degaussing systems, etc.
Today, The Krylov Research Centre is the parent company and a leading research institution of Russia's shipbuilding industry. The Krylov Centre is solving the funDamental technical challenges to provide best solutions for the design and construction of the Navy's ships and merchant vessels. The Krylov Centre's scientists and experts are currently engaged in the design and engineering of multipurpose marine equipment for operation on the Arctic shelf of Russia.
