The oldest operating ship in the world. The world's oldest intact Greek ship was found in the Black Sea. America-class universal landing ships

How many years do ships last? The exact answer to this question most likely will not be found in textbooks on maritime affairs. Then you can try to find the oldest operating ship in the fleet.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet, which is based in Sevastopol, includes the oldest vessel of the Russian Navy - the rescue catamaran ship "Kommuna", which has been in service for 99 years.

1. The rescue catamaran ship “Kommuna” is the oldest ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. November 12, 2012 will mark the 100th anniversary of the ship's keel.

2. The project of the first specialized double-hull submarine rescue vessel in the country was developed back in 1911 by order of the Naval General Staff. The German rescue catamaran Vulcan was used as a prototype. The original name of the court was “Volkhov”, and the name “Commune” was received in 1922.

3. “Commune” has a displacement of 3100 tons, its length is 81 m, its width is 13.2 m, and its draft is 3.7 m.
The full speed is 8.5 knots, and the cruising range is 4000 miles.
There are no weapons. Specialist. equipment: ship lifting equipment – left hull for 80 tons, right hull for 30 tons. Crew: 23 people
It is worth noting that the ship’s hull is made of Putilov steel and is, of course, not in perfect, but in quite working condition. The ship is constantly undergoing routine repairs, because, of course, even by human standards, it is no longer even at pre-retirement age, but at deep retirement age.

4. Let’s go up the stairs to the “Commune” to get to know the veteran better.

5. Sign with a short history ship..

6. There is another sign in the wardroom. It was minted in the year the ship was launched - in 1915.
It is interesting that (and this is noticeable from the plaque) the coat of arms of the Putilov plant was changed much later.

7. “Commune” is a catamaran-type vessel, with a movable platform with a descent module moving between its sides.
It is driven by four cable drives located in pairs on the sides of the vessel in the front and rear parts.

8. View of the platform from the upper truss

9. Huge drums with cables allow the descent vehicle to be immersed to a depth of up to 1 kilometer

10. Drive cables for the platform of the descent underwater vehicle

11. The main object of the “Commune” is a working remote-controlled uninhabited underwater vehicle RTNPA. Allows you to work at depths of up to 1 km (limited by the length of the cable). Designed for searching and detecting underwater objects using sonars, lifting loads up to 150 kg, cutting cables, etc.

12. RTNPA is equipped with 4 video cameras, as well as a pair of manipulators. Replaceable manipulators are designed for various purposes - capturing an object, installing a radio beacon, grabbing a cable, biting or cutting.
The device is equipped with 10 engines, allowing for exceptional maneuverability of the device

13. A manipulator with a cutting disc, allowing cutting of metal and cables at depths of up to 1 km

14. Yellow capsules contain everything electronic systems. When diving, all the air is forcibly pumped out of there. This ensures complete sealing of the capsules due to compression by water pressure

37. On Russian Fleet Day, which will be celebrated on July 29, 2012, the ship will perform the task of escorting Neptune. In this regard, the team is painting lifeboats for the parade in honor of the holiday

38. The rescue ship was first used for its intended purpose in the summer of 1917, when the submarine AG-15 sank with its hatch open in the Åland skerries during a training dive. Despite the fact that the rescue work was hampered by a strong storm, on June 16 (29) at 00:50, the boat was raised by the Volkhov guineas. The crew of the “rescuer” repaired the boat within a month, and it was put back into operation. On September 24 (October 7), 1917, the Volkhov rescue ship successfully raised the Unicorn submarine, which sank during a navigation accident, from a depth of 13.5 meters.

39. From May 15 to September 13, 1928, the “Commune” carried out work to raise the ship sunk on June 4, 1919 in Koporskaya Bay Gulf of Finland British submarine L-55. The boat was raised to the surface from a depth of 62 meters using a stepwise method on July 21, 1928. And again everyday work: raising the sunken marine border guard boat and tugboat KP-7, ensuring testing of new submarines and repairing the ships of the Baltic Fleet. “Commune” raised the submarines “Bolshevik”, M-90, a torpedo boat and a crashed plane from the depths...

40. Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the rescue ship "Commune" is based in Leningrad. Since March 1942, 32 Commune divers have been working on the Ladoga Road of Life. Part of the crew participated in landing operations on the Neva (and this was with a 40% shortage). During this time, the sailors of the “Commune” raised four KV tanks, two tractors and 31 cars from the bottom. "Kommunartsy" trained 159 light divers for the fleet, repaired six M-type submarines. Despite the difficult situation at the front, rescuers raised sunken ones from the water: submarine Shch-411, tug "Austra", schooners "Trud", "Vodoley-2", the floating base of the OVR "TsO "Pravda", two "pike" and several "small hunters" were docked...

41. In 1944, “Commune” raised 14 sunken objects with a total displacement of 11,767 tons, and provided assistance to 34 emergency ships and vessels. The entire crew of the ship was awarded medals “For the Defense of Leningrad.”
Only in 1954 was the veteran ship able to undergo a major overhaul, during which the main diesel engines were replaced with Dutch-made engines. At the end of November 1956, the catamaran again took up combat duty: the M-200 submarine, rammed by a destroyer, was lifted from a depth of 45 meters. In October 1957, the submarine M-256 was raised from a depth of 73 meters, and in August 1959, a torpedo boat that sank at a depth of 22 meters was raised. In total, during its service, the Commune provided assistance to more than a hundred ships and submarines.

42. In 1967, the veteran ship successfully made an inter-base transition from the Baltic to the Black Sea, arriving safely in Sevastopol, circumnavigating Europe. In Sevastopol, at the Sevmorzavod, the Kommuna was converted into a carrier vessel for deep-sea vehicles. The re-equipment project was completed by the end of 1969 at the Sevastopol Central Design Bureau "Chernomorets". By the time work at the SMZ was completed (April 27, 1973), the cost of work to re-equip the vessel amounted to about 11 million rubles

At the moment, the rescue ship "Komunna" has undergone dock repairs, and, despite its age, is actively participating in various activities of the fleet's emergency rescue service with access to the sea.

November 20, /SEAFARERSJOURNAL/. WITHoldest ship in the world"Commune" today in fact, it is still in service, the portal reports moryakukrainy.livejournal.com.

A century ago, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova broke a traditional bottle of champagne on board the Volkhov submarine rescue vessel.

This is the oldest ship in the Russian Navy and the oldest ship in the world actually in service. The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Alexander Vitko, came to the Kommuna to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the warship. He arrived and reported that he considered it a great honor to be here at the celebration. Since the day of the rescuer’s launching into the water was celebrated, in celebratory speeches everyone called the “Commune” “Volkhov”.

The last time “Commune” went to sea was a year ago. Its current crew is not a combat crew, but a civilian, hired one. In case of an emergency, he will be replaced by military sailors. It is this crew that rescues submarine rescuers today. Under the command of retired privateer Anatoly Ishinov, the current captain of the Commune, the sailors completely painted the ship and partially repaired it.

The body of the "Commune" is in almost perfect condition. During its construction, a special tenacious malleable ship steel was used, the secret of which has now been lost.

The project of the first specialized double-hull submarine rescue vessel in Russian history was developed back in 1911 by order of the Naval General Staff.
