Russia Builds 800-Ton Missile Ship In St. Petersburg

The Central Marine Design Bureau 'Almaz' is designing a new 890-ton polar mine sweeper to be built by the Sredny Nevsky Shipyard. The vessel will be 61 meters long and 10 meters wide, with a crew of over 40 people. The ship is designed with high maneuverability through an effective complex of thrusters and improved crew living conditions. The vessel will have a displacement of 890 tons, a length of 61 meters, and a width of 10 meters. It will carry a crew of more than 40 people and feature high maneuverability via various thruster systems. The construction follows the inability to complete the Admiral Grigorovich-series frigates for the Black Sea Fleet due to shortages of gas turbine engines. The vessel is intended for strike missile operations.
