Russia: Future Naval Prospects

Posted by Matt in December 7th, 2007

Summary

Russia has commissioned its first surface warship designed from the ground up since the fall of the Soviet Union. It will not be the last.

Analysis

The Russian navy in November commissioned the first surface warship designed from the ground up since the fall of the Soviet Union. Despite the announcement of the prospective deployment of a battle group to the Mediterranean and talk of building the world’s second-largest fleet of aircraft carriers, Russian maritime development has a long way to go. The navy has suffered and struggled even more than the country’s other military services since 1991 — and suffered the tragic loss in 2000 of the Kursk SSGN, the pride of Russia’s Northern Fleet.

The Russians build tough, role-oriented, good looking warships that are excellent seakeepers. The post-USSR afterglow between a reeling Russian Navy and the West showed some shocking vessels’ internal differences. I’ve read that naval families occasionally found safe haven in tied-up warships and that (as we had expected in the West) Russian warship design was not focused on the creature comforts we in the USN were accustomed to. Weight rooms, lounges, fast food concessions, retail stores and the like are conspicuous by their absense in a Sovermennyj ASW ship or an Akula SSN. However, weapons systems get the priority - which, somehow in my post Modern mind seems to fall in line with what men ‘o war are supposed to do. The Soviets left ’social engineering of people’ to he Party - and the KGB. We leave it to focus groups, DR Phil, and the command ombudsman.
I suspect we will see more of the Morska Russkaya. I hope it will be in collegial port visits and combined ocean exercises and commerce protection. We do not want to go back to days of ships shouldering one another - and fire control radar lock-ons.
