Why American submarines feared this Russian destroyer



For at present we’ll focus on one other episode about Udaloy II class of anti-submarine destroyers from Soviet Union.

The Udaloy class, Russian designations Mission 1155 Fregat and Mission 11551 Fregat-M, are anti-submarine destroyers had been constructed for the Russian Navy between 1980 and 1999. As of 2010, eight destroyers had been in service. Two vessels Mission 1155 Fregat I (Udaloy I) and Mission 1155.1 Fregat II (Udaloy II) had been designed by Russian state-owned firm Severnoye Design Bureau. They complement the Sovremennyy-class destroyers in anti-aircraft and anti-surface warfare operations. The codename Udaloy comes from an archaic Russian adjective, which means daring or daring.

The Udaloy II is a modified model of Udaloy I. Twelve Udaloy I and one Udaloy II-class vessels had been constructed at Severnaya Verf and Yantar Shipyards. The Udaloy I-class ships had been commissioned between 1980 and 1991 whereas the primary ship within the Udaloy II class, Admiral Chabanenko (BPK 650), was commissioned in 1999. The second, Admiral Basisty, was scrapped throughout building. The Udaloy II Class is designed to stability the anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities. Solely eight Udaloys are in service at present, however they nonetheless give Russia a succesful anti-submarine platform.

The Mission 1155 dates to the Seventies when it was concluded that it was too expensive to construct large-displacement, multi-role combatants. The idea of a specialised floor ship was developed by Soviet designers. Two various kinds of warships had been laid down which had been designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau: Mission 956 destroyer and Mission 1155 massive anti-submarine ship. The Udaloy class are typically thought-about the Soviet equal of the American Spruance-class destroyers. There are variations in SAM and air search radar amongst items of the category. Primarily based on the Krivak class, the emphasis on anti-submarine warfare (ASW) left these ships with restricted anti-surface and anti-air capabilities.
