Description

RUSSIAN NAVY UDALOY Length: 162.8m Bean: 19.0m Displacement: 8200t the Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was con cluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, single-role combatants. The con cept of a specialized surface ships was developed by Soviet designers. Two different types of warships were laid down which were Project 956 destroyer and Project 1155 large antisubmarine ship. Generally the Soviet equivalent of the American Spruance class, there are variation s in SAM and air search radar among units of the class. Designed primarily as an anti-submarine warfare platform, with a long cruising range and underway replenishment capabilities, Udaloy class ships provide support to surface task forces. Udaloy reflects design changes that addressed the shortcomings of the previous Krivak program; namely the lack of helicopter facilities, limited son ar capabilities, and light air-defenses. The Udaloy has two helicopter hangars with doors that serve as a ramp to the flight deck. The Udaloys air-defense system consists of 8 Klinok launchers, and the AK-630 and AK-100 gun mounts.
