    Soviet amphibious assault ship

    Can the Soviets develop or modify an existing design into an amphibious assault vessel ? I think Moskva class aviation cruisers will be a great choice Can anyone suggest what changes will be needed to modify them ? And if a new vessel what do you think such a vessel will look like given...

    Gelled fuels: Luminal-A, Alumizin, etc

    Michel Van: "One Moment Luminal-A ? was Glusko also in Alumizine propellant ?!" Right, luminal-a is soviet analog of american alumizine. Some theoretical works was conducted at OKB-456 (chief designer V. P. Glushko; today NPO "Energomash"), then conducted some static fire tests. OKB-456 has...

    Tales of past future. Some essays about the VSTOL carrier.

    Érase una vez sólo dos bandos (y sabías qué esperar) y había un país llamado Unión Soviética. Y el portaaviones era la especie dominante en los mares (Cuanto más grande era el portaaviones, más felices eran los almirantes), pero este tipo de barcos son muy caros, tan caros que parecía que iban a...

    HMS Cockade in Korean War

    A friend of mine has asked me to check out a rumour that HMS Cockade sank a suspected Soviet sub while serving with a US force in the Korean War. He thinks the papers are embargoed until at least 2050.

    Extended Cold War Naval Development

    Ok, this is a scenario I've been working on for a while now, so I'd like to hear other peoples' thoughts on it. It has some plot devices though (the Soviet Union not completely falling apart, Bush restarting the Cold War, etc), but I think it's realistic enough to seem sane from a glance. In...

    Alt Postwar Soviet Navy

    I am delighted that others are already making good use of the Alt 60s US Navy thread. It probably needs a balancing thread to cover the Soviet Navy, which for both the USN and the RN was "the enemy fleet in being". After the fifties scare surrounding the Swerdlow class cruisers, the nuclear...

    Ekranoplans in the Rostislav Alekseyev Museum in Chkalovsk

    Found an awesome article online here of a visit to a museum dedicated to the Ekranoplan designer, Rostislav Alekseyev. Some very interesting models and artwork, attached.

    Soviet Maritime Project Numbers

    Good listings of Soviet naval project numbers are difficult to find. Some were published in books following the events of 1991 and of course Globalsecurity published a list in the late 1990s. No details at all were released of merchant vessels, so about two years I set out to complete a list and...

    How would earlier Soviet carriers affect USN developement?

    Let's assume that USSR started to experiment with carriers in late 1920s, with planned rebuild of the training ship "Okean" into the light/training carrier "Komsomolets". While slow and of limited usefulness (roughly the equivalent of USN's "Langley"), this ship still allowed Soviet Navy to gain...

    Oscar III SSGN & other Soviet SSGNs

    With the cancellation of the Merkuriy ssgn program in 1989, the successor to the Oscar II was to be the Oscar III, of which the first units were to be built right after the last of the Oscar IIs. I can't find any illustrations, or descriptions of the planned changes and improvements. Can anyone...

    Fictional Russian Warships from 1945

    Some 'highly speculative' Soviet warship designs allegedly from Life Magazine in 1945, attributed to 'US Naval Architects' I stumbled across on Reddit... They come from this article in the 17th of December 1945 issue of the magazine... The Russian Navy is Reborn (Life Magazine, 17 December 1945)

    Fictional Warships - Novels

    This thread is effectively a relaunch of the "Fictional Never-Were" thread from Warship Projects 3.0. It covers fictional warships in novels such as: USS John F Kennedy (BCGN-???) (Joe Poyer: North Cape, 1969) First up... John Watson: The Final Act, 2000 Germany Hindenburg Bismark Class...

It contains alot of models of Russian and Soviet warships of which many pics are found on the internet. Among those that are some of the famous never-where projects...

    Soviet and Russian Research Vessels

    Could some-one in the know explain what the research ships Akademik Ioffee and Akademik Vavilov were built to do? I've just been on the Ioffe and there is some interesting kit still onboard. The standard answer was that they were built in 1989 for sound propagation trials, Ioffe the transmitter...

    Russian Icebreaker Project Numbers?

    Most Russian icebreaker classes have Project numbers applied -- eg: Project 22220 for the LK-60 'Universal Atomic Icebreaker' class. Does anyone know the Project numbers for the Arctech series? I'm especially curious about the NB-508 Oblique Icebreaker.

    Original Project 705 design (1,500 ton displacement)

    I'm just wondering, have any drawings or artist impressions of the original Project 705 design, before they changed over to the design that would lead to the Alfa class, surfaced (no pun intended!) in recent times?
