The 1st rank training ship "Perekop" is undergoing repairs at the dock named after. P.I. Veleshchinsky. During the repair, the underwater part of the hull will be cleaned and painted, tanks, sea chests, shafting, rudder propeller group, seafloor fittings and anchors will be repaired.
Renovation work should be completed by the end of April. The ship is preparing to conduct annual cadet practice.
Last year, the Perekop Management Company made a multi-month long voyage, unprecedented in the history of training ships of the Russian Navy. In more than 250 days, he traveled over 40 thousand miles, visited several oceans and traveled along the Northern Sea Route. In addition, the ship’s personnel took part in the international naval exercises KOMODO-2018, held under the auspices of the UN on the border of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. During the voyage, more than 1,000 cadets from the country’s naval educational institutions completed internships on board the Perekop.
The 1st rank training ship "Perekop" was built in Poland in 1977. In 2015, after a major overhaul, the ship returned to service. Displacement (full) of UK "Perekop" - 7270 tons, length - 138 m, width - 17 m, draft - 5.5 m, speed up to 20 knots. It has military weapons. The ship takes on board up to 300 cadets.

The training ship of the Baltic Fleet "Perekop" left Kronstadt to carry out long-distance missions. It will visit four oceans and pass along the Northern Sea Route, leaving behind a total of more than 20 thousand nautical miles.
Currently, there are 100 cadets from the naval universities of St. Petersburg on board the ship. During the call to Baltiysk, they will be joined by 110 cadets from the Kaliningrad Naval Educational Institution. The practice is led by the head of the branch of the VUNTS Navy Military Medical Academy named after. Kuznetsova (Kaliningrad) Rear Admiral Vyacheslav Sytnik.
The long-distance sea voyage of the training ship takes place as part of the maritime practice of cadets of naval educational institutions of the Russian Ministry of Defense. During the sea voyage, cadets will have to undergo practice in navigational disciplines, improve their ship control skills in various conditions and difficult navigation situations, and duplicate the duties of watch officers and navigators.
In addition, the cadets will undergo a series of training sessions on the modern Regel training simulator mounted on the ship. After completing the training, future officers on board the ship will take tests in their specialty and various maritime disciplines.
For training on the ship, special classes and training complexes have been created. "Perekop" has an astronomical deck, a compartment for combating the survivability of the ship and six-oared yawls. Up to 300 future navigators, mechanics and navigators can undergo maritime practice on it at the same time. During the passage the ship will visit major ports V Russian Federation, where he will make two or three replacements of cadets from naval universities. In 2018, over a thousand people completed internships on board.
Before the voyage, specialists from the Kronstadt Marine Plant carried out dock repairs on the Baltic Fleet training ship Perekop. During the work, the underwater part of the ship's hull was painted, its tanks, steering gear, shafting and sea chests were repaired. In addition, the ship's crew worked out elements of course tasks K-1 at the base and K-2 at sea.

TRAINING SHIPS OF THE SMOLNY TYPE PROJECT 887

Training ships of Project 887 - "Khasan", "Perekop" and "Smolny" were built at Polish shipyards in 1976-1978, to replace the Sverdlov-class cruisers (Project 68) used as training ships.
"Hasan", which rammed and sank the Turkish torpedo boat "Melten" on September 25, 1985, is currently listed in reserve, "Perekop" and "Smolny" are in service and are based in Kronstadt.
The fate of the three training ships of Project 887 turned out differently. The youngest of them, “Hasan,” no longer exists; it was sold for metal in the troubled 90s. "Smolny" in the same 90s, being in not the best technical condition, remained chained to the pier for a long time, only occasionally making small trips along the Baltic Sea.
And only “Perekop” of all three ships had the happiest fate. It was “Perekop”, thanks to a lucky lot, that always got the most interesting trips. Residents of almost all major European ports and even Bizerta, Havana and Colombian Cartagena saw its colorful flags on the roadstead. The rocks of Gibraltar alone saw the stem of the Perekop more than 50 times. In total, over 35 years of service, the ship has traveled more than 400 thousand nautical miles, which is comparable to a flight to the Moon and return back.
During the construction of the Smolny and Perekop, Polish shipbuilders laid down enormous opportunities for modernization, which allows today to continue the active operation of these ships.

In the hut, past which the soldiers passed, the highest authorities had gathered, and over tea there was a lively conversation about the past day and the proposed maneuvers of the future. It was supposed to make a flank march to the left, cut off the viceroy and capture him.
When the soldiers brought the fence, kitchen fires were already flaring up from different sides. Firewood crackled, snow melted, and the black shadows of soldiers scurried here and there throughout the occupied space trampled in the snow.
Axes and cutlasses worked from all sides. Everything was done without any orders. They hauled firewood for the night's reserves, erected huts for the authorities, boiled pots, and stored guns and ammunition.
The fence dragged by the eighth company was placed in a semicircle on the north side, supported by bipods, and a fire was laid out in front of it. We broke the dawn, made calculations, had dinner and settled down for the night by the fires - some mending shoes, some smoking a pipe, some stripped naked, steaming out lice.

It would seem that in those almost unimaginably difficult conditions of existence in which Russian soldiers found themselves at that time - without warm boots, without sheepskin coats, without a roof over their heads, in the snow at 18° below zero, without even the full amount of provisions, it would not always be possible to keeping up with the army - it seemed that the soldiers should have presented the saddest and most depressing sight.
On the contrary, never, in the best material conditions, has the army presented a more cheerful, lively spectacle. This happened because every day everything that began to despondency or weaken was thrown out of the army. Everything that was physically and morally weak had long been left behind: only one color of the army remained - in terms of strength of spirit and body.
The largest number of people gathered at the 8th company, which bordered the fence. Two sergeants sat down next to them, and their fire burned brighter than others. They demanded an offering of firewood for the right to sit under the fence.
- Hey, Makeev, what are you... disappeared or were you eaten by wolves? “Bring some wood,” shouted one red-haired soldier, squinting and blinking from the smoke, but not moving away from the fire. “Go ahead and carry some wood, crow,” this soldier turned to another. Red was not a non-commissioned officer or a corporal, but he was a healthy soldier, and therefore commanded those who were weaker than him. A thin, small soldier with a sharp nose, who was called a crow, obediently stood up and went to carry out the order, but at that time the thin, handsome figure of a young soldier carrying a load of firewood entered the light of the fire.
- Come here. That's important!
They broke the firewood, pressed it, blew it with their mouths and overcoat skirts, and the flames hissed and crackled. The soldiers moved closer and lit their pipes. The young, handsome soldier who had brought the firewood leaned his hands on his hips and began to quickly and deftly stamp his chilled feet in place.
“Ah, mamma, the cold dew is good, and like a musketeer...” he chanted, as if hiccupping on every syllable of the song.

Built at the Polish shipyard “Stochnia Szczecinska im. Adolf Varsky", commissioned by the USSR Navy, as large specialized training ships and were intended for maritime practice by cadets of the Naval Schools of the USSR Navy. Technical project 887 provided for a cruising range of 14 knots up to 9000 miles, a full speed of 20 knots with a standard displacement of 6120 tons, as well as placement on the ship of a training and production base with 30 teachers and 300 cadets. In total, according to this project, three ships were built in Poland: Smolny (1976), Perekop (1977) and Khasan (1978).

The ship's hull was assembled using a mixed system of steel sheets connected to each other by welding, with significant sheerness at the bow, a superstructure extending across the entire width of the hull, tapering at the aft part, and a straight transom stern. The ship had an upper and lower deck, two platforms at the ends - bow and stern, a hold and a double bottom. The second bottom was divided into compartments by internal bulkheads made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. The hold, platforms and lower deck were divided into compartments by watertight bulkheads. All superstructures, machine casings and false pipes were made of aluminum-magnesium alloys 3 mm thick. Personnel could move around the ship without going to the upper deck, which met the requirements of anti-nuclear protection (PAZ). All portholes had standard round shape. On the training ship, in addition to the crew quarters, cabins of officers and midshipmen, there were cabins and cockpits for teachers and cadets, as well as well-equipped classrooms, an astronomical deck and a compartment for combating the survivability of the ship. Heating of the premises was carried out using calorific heating. Active pitch stabilizers were installed, which reduced the ship's roll. The mast was represented by three tower-like masts, and the main and mizzen masts had openwork topmasts drawn aft. The foremast housed radio and communications antennas. On the main mast there are antennas for radio engineering devices and an antenna post for the Angara-A radar with two parabolic reflectors. On the mizzen mast there is an antenna post for the UJSC "Lynx" radar and communication antennas. The use of all types of weapons is possible at all speeds in sea conditions up to four points without pitch stabilizers and more than five points when they are turned on.
The ship's unsinkability is ensured by dividing it into waterproof compartments, which, according to calculations, made it possible to remain afloat when three adjacent or five non-adjacent compartments were flooded.

The anchor device consists of 2 Hall anchors, which are secured by two chain stoppers and are located in fairleads recessed into the hull to reduce splashing on long strokes. An electrically driven anchor windlass is installed on the forecastle for lowering and raising both main anchors.

The steering device includes an electric steering machine, control of the rudders is electric from the gearbox and manual from the tiller compartment. The machine controls two semi-balanced rudders.

Fire-fighting equipment includes a conventional water system, an OXT chemical system of the ZhS-52 brand and a set of fire-fighting equipment.

Life-saving equipment consists of 2 motor boats, 2 longboats, 6 yawls and 30 inflatable life rafts (PSN-10).

The main power plant is mechanical, two-shaft with two diesel units 12ZV40/48 “Zgoda Sulzer” with a power of 8000 hp each. each located in Moscow region. The units transmitted rotation through side shafts to two four-bladed, low-noise controlled pitch propellers (RP). The power plant is controlled remotely.
Medium speed diesel, four-stroke, V-shaped, twelve-cylinder. Cylinder diameter 400 mm, piston stroke 480 mm, speed 400-600 rpm. The ship's full speed is 20 knots. The full fuel supply includes 1050 tons. Steam for domestic needs is produced by 2 auxiliary boilers of the "KVS" type.

The AC power system has a voltage of 380 V and includes 4 diesel generators with a capacity of 800 kW each and 1 diesel generator with a capacity of 115 kW. Batteries are used as an emergency power source.

The training ship's armament consists of:

The shots are supplied by elevators from the turret cellar. The barrels are loaded with 2 rounds in each clip; the clips are loaded manually. The installation calculation includes 9 people (including 4 numbers for loading the feed elevator). Both barrels fire simultaneously. The rate of fire is 40-45 shots followed by 3 minutes. cooling with sea water, and the barrel life can withstand 3000 shots. The installation has 5 mm thick armor. Using the D-67-1 remote drive, the AU rotates left or right at an angle of up to 164° from the stowed position, and the vertical guidance angle ranges from -10° to +85°. Firing is carried out by two types of shells - anti-aircraft (ZS-62) or high-explosive fragmentation (OF-62), which are equipped with self-destructors. A shot weighing 12.4 kg with a projectile mass of 5.9 kg has an initial projectile speed of 980 m/s, and the firing range at a sea or coastal target at an elevation angle of +45° is up to 15 km using ship-based target detection equipment. The maximum firing range at an air target (ceiling) at an elevation angle of +85° is up to 11 km. Firing control is carried out by 1 artillery fire control device (AFC) "Turel", which provides processing of initial data and solves the problem of firing at sea, coastal and air targets. Tracking of 1 any target in automatic mode is carried out using 1 MP-105 "Turel-887" control radar, in semi-automatic mode from an autonomous prismatic sight "Prism" or manually. The weight of the installation reaches 26 tons.
Of 2 RBU-2500 "Smerch" bomb launchers with 16 212 mm caliber guides located in the bow. RBU-2500 have a firing range of 500-2500 meters and a depth of destruction of 350-400 meters. The installation's ammunition includes 64 RSL-25 rocket bombs. A rocket bomb weighing 84 kg and 1.35 meters long has a charge weight of 25.8 kg and a diving speed of 11 m/s. The installation is aimed automatically from the Smerch control unit according to the MG-312 Vychegda GAS control data for targeted bombing, and loading is done manually. The "Smerch" system also includes a "Candle" reference bomb, designed to indicate the location of an underwater target. The target bomb has weight, size and ballistic characteristics similar to the RSL-25. Launcher weight 3.46 tons.
Of 2 twin 30-mm AK-230 assault rifles with a barrel length of 71.3 calibers, located in a ledge in the stern. The installations can be used to destroy boats, air and low-flying targets, as well as to destroy detected mines. The rate of fire of the installation is 1000 rounds/min. Both barrels fire simultaneously. Firing is carried out in bursts of up to 100 shots, after which cooling is required for 15-20 minutes. Shooting is allowed until the ammunition is used up (500 rounds) with breaks every 100 shots for 15-20 seconds. After this, the barrels need to be replaced and the machine repaired. The machine guns are powered by a belt, each barrel contains 500 rounds of ammunition. The crew of the gun includes 2 people. The vertical guidance angle of the AU is from -12 to +87°, and the horizontal guidance is up to 180°. The initial projectile speed is 1060 m/s, the firing range is up to 5 km. The assault rifles have a remote control system from PUAO "Lynx" with tracking radar MR-104 "Lynx" and semi-automatic control from two local sighting posts "Column". Installation weight 1,926 kg.
Of 2 single-barrel 45-mm universal semi-automatic 21-KM with a barrel length of 46 calibers, located on the side at the nose section of an extended setting. The guns are used to fire salutes, but can also provide fire at both surface and low-speed air targets (helicopters) from the bow heading angles. These installations do not have anti-fragmentation shields or mechanical aiming drives. The gun crew consists of 3 people. The rate of fire of the semi-automatic device is up to 25 rounds/min. Vertical guidance angle from -10° to +85°. The initial velocity of the projectile is 740 m/s, the firing range at a coastal or sea target at an elevation angle of +45° does not exceed 9.2 km, and the height reach at an elevation angle of +85° does not exceed 6 km. Weight of the gun is 507 kg.
Of 2 high-speed acoustic guards (BOKA) for protection against acoustic torpedoes and mines. Their use is envisaged at speeds of 10...30 knots with sea waves up to 7 points.

The fire control system of the universal 76-mm main caliber artillery consists of:

from 1 artillery fire control device (AUAO) "Turel" which includes:
- 1 automatic firing machine D-67-1 (calculating device), which, based on incoming data from the control radar MR-105 "Turel-887" located on the roof of the main command post, controls 2 installations located on the tank, giving them vertical and horizontal aiming angles .
From the "Component" gyro-vertical, which produces stabilization angles for gun mounts.
From a “Course” type gyrocompass, which provides data on the course of the ship itself.
From the MGL-50 log, which provides data on the speed of the ship itself.
After receiving target designations, one of the targets is taken to accompany the MR-105 "Turel-887" firing radar.

The "Turret" system controls two guns and allows shooting automatically at one target with one gun or both guns simultaneously. The ship itself can travel at full speed of 20 knots when firing.

The general detection radar MR-310 "Angara-A" three-coordinate, centimeter wave range allows you to detect and determine the range to surface and air targets, their heading angle and bearing, transmitting this data to fire control instrument systems. The station provides determination of the deviation of the fall of artillery shells and rockets by splashes. To reduce the error in measuring the heading angle and facilitate the working conditions of operators during rolling, stabilization is used in the guidance drive circuit. The radar has a target detection range of up to 270 km.

The Kurs type gyrocompass is a two-rotor with a sensitive element in the form of a floating gyrosphere, the prototype of which was the New Anschutz gyrocompass, created in Germany in 1926. The gyrocompass has a damping switch, which provides a smaller ballistic error, an accuracy of readings of ±1°.0, and the readiness time after startup is 2-5 hours. The navigation console, which houses the mechanisms for indicating and recording the course, the mechanism for remotely controlling the corrector and a set of measuring instruments and warning lamps, allows you to remotely monitor faults and make corrections. The gyrocompass is equipped with an autonomous emergency power source and self-synchronizing receiving peripheral devices (repeaters). The latter are located in various places and, after they are turned on and coordinated with the gyrocompass, show the ship's course.

Main caliber artillery fire control radar MP-105 "Turel-887" decimeter wave range, allows you to determine the range and track an air, surface or coastal target to control the fire of 76-mm caliber universal artillery machine guns. The radar automatically tracks 1 target at a range of up to 55 km and provides noise immunity to the artillery fire control system.

The Smerch-887 fire control system includes:

1 fire control device RBU-2500 (PUSB) "Smerch" which includes:
- 1 automatic firing device (calculating device), which, based on incoming data from the weapon control system MG-311 "Vychegda" located in the underwater fairing, controls 2 rocket launchers located on the tank, giving them vertical and horizontal aiming angles.
Prefix "Sound".
The main means of target designation is the MG-312 Titan all-round sonar.
After receiving target designation, the target is tracked by the MG-311 Vychegda weapon control radar.

The all-round visibility sonar MG-312 "Titan" with a sub-keel antenna is located in the underwater fairing and can operate in echo and noise direction finding modes. The GAS is capable of detecting a submarine traveling at periscope depth at a range of up to 8 km with echo direction finding and up to 18 km with noise direction finding, and anchor mines and torpedoes at a range of up to 2-3 km. The station is noise-resistant and can be used at high ship speeds.

The anti-submarine weapon control system MG-311 "Vychegda" operates in sector mode. The station antenna is mounted in the radome (FO). The GAS provides submarine tracking in echo and noise direction finding modes at a range from 8 to 18 km.

The fire control system of the universal 30-mm artillery consists of:

from 1 artillery fire control device (FACD) MR-104 "Lynx" which includes:
- 1 automatic firing device (calculating device), which, based on incoming data from the MP-104 “Lynx-887” control radar located on the lower platform of the mizzen mast, controls 2 installations located in the stern, giving them vertical and horizontal aiming angles.
From moving target selection and noise protection equipment.
The main means of target designation is the MP-310 Angara-A general detection radar.
The target is detected and tracked by the MR-104 Lynx-887 firing radar.

Fire control radar MR-104 "Lynx-887" of the decimeter wave range, allows you to detect, determine the range and track air, surface and coastal targets to control the fire of 30-mm caliber machine guns. The radar automatically tracks air targets at speeds of up to 300 m/s at a range of up to 26 km, and surface targets such as a torpedo boat up to 4 km.

The ships are equipped with the Don navigation radar, the Volga navigation radar, the Nichrome state identification equipment, the Bizan-4B RTR radar, the MG-15 Sviyaga sound-like communications sonar, radio direction finders, and the Tablet-887 BIUS.

The Don navigation radar of the 3-centimeter wave range is designed to illuminate the navigation situation and solve navigation problems and allows you to determine the range to a cruiser-type target of up to 25 km and to an air target of up to 50 km with all-round visibility. The radar antenna post is located on the mast.

The Volga navigation radar of the 3-centimeter wave range is designed to illuminate the navigation situation and solve navigation problems and allows you to determine the range to an air target of up to 110 km with an all-round view. The radar antenna post is located on the tops of the masts.

The state identification system is represented by two RAS - the interrogator "Nickel" and the responder "Chrome". RAS "Nichrome" allows you to identify surface and air targets to determine their belonging to your armed forces. The antennas are located on the mast.

The Bizan-4B radio reconnaissance radar (RTR) is used to detect enemy radars. The centimeter range station has a detection range of up to 25 km and operates continuously for 48 hours. The station preparation time for operation is 90 seconds.

The MG-15 Sviyaga sound underwater communication system provides identification of submarines and communication with them underwater in telegraph and telephone modes at high frequencies.

BIUS "Tablet-887" is a combat information and control system, designed to coordinate the work of shipborne means of illuminating the situation, displaying it on tablets, processing information, and determining elements of target movement. At the same time, simultaneous processing of data on 4-5 surface and 7-9 air targets is ensured.

Since 1976 The busy naval service of Project 887 training ships began as part of the brigade of training ships of the Leningrad naval base of the Baltic Fleet.

September 25, 1985 The training ship "Hasan" while passing through the Bosphorus Strait, in foggy conditions, "cut" in half a Turkish missile boat of the "Melten" type. As a result of the disaster, none of the crew of the Turkish boat died. The investigation showed the guilt of the commander of the Turkish boat, who did not ensure proper navigation safety in dense fog. The radar on the boat did not work, and the entire crew, except for the helmsman, was asleep.

In 1994 "Khasan" was supposed to undergo an average scheduled repair, but due to the lack of funds and the collapse of the USSR, it stood idle until 1998, occasionally going to sea to complete the K-2 task.

In 1998 "Hasan" was withdrawn from the Navy and cut up for metal. The remaining two ships "Smolny" and "Perekop" continue to serve in training maritime practice cadets of the VVMU of the Russian Navy.

Training ships were built at the Stochnia Szczecinska shipyard. Adolf Warski" in Szczecin, Poland People's Republic(Poland).

The lead training ship Smolny entered service with the Baltic Fleet in 1976.
