Lada-class submarine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Lada class submarine) The Russian Navy's Project 677 Lada-class submarine (Russian: ) is a class designed by the Russian Rubin Design Bureau. The class is also referred to as the Petersburg (or Sankt Peterburg or Peterburg) class, after the lead ship. A program to develop a "fourth generation" dieselelectric submarine, it aimed to produce a highly improved version of the Project 636 Kilo class with much quieter, new combat systems, and possibly air-independent propulsion.

History
The lead ship of the class, named the Sankt Peterburg, was launched in October 2004 and began sea trials in November 2005. The submarine was transferred to the Russian Navy in April 2010.[1] Another two vessels are under construction at the Admiralty Shipyard with plans to launch four to six submarines by 2015. The Russian Navy has set out a requirement for a total of eight Lada class submarines.[2] In November, 2011 the Russian Navy has decided that this class of submarines will not be accepted into service, as the lead ship has fallen far short of requirements during tests.[3] The lead boat will be retained as a test vessel to experiment with various systems, the construction of the remaining boats of the class will be frozen. On July 27, 2012, the Russian Navy commander-in-chief announced that construction of the Lada class submarines will resume, having undergone design changes.[4] On March 25, 2013, news sources claimed that China announced it had signed a contract to purchase 4 Lada-class submarines.[5] Later, the deal appears to have never taken place, according to the Russian military.

reconnaissance. The class marks the first usage of the Russian navy of a mono-hull design since the 1940s. Displacement is 25% lower than that of its predecessor, the Kilo-class submarine. Top speed submerged is 21 knots, up from 19 for the Kilo class. She is designed for an endurance of 45 days with a complement of 34. The submarine is equipped with automated combat control system Litiy, (eng. Lithium). A model, designated as the project 1650 Amur is offered as an export model.
