Brief introduction
The Moskva class was an anti-submarine cruiser (helicopter carrier) built by the Soviet Navy. Designed to counter NATO countries equipped with Polaris ballistic missile submarines for use
In the late 1950s, after the US Navy incorporated nuclear ballistic missile submarines equipped with Polaris ballistic missiles into the Sixth Fleet stationed in the Mediterranean, the Soviet Navy, which originally thought that it could rest easy by guarding the coastal waters, had to immediately face the needs of the submarine counter-production industry in the Mediterranean, otherwise the US military could casually let Moscow launch a nuclear attack in the Mediterranean, and large anti-submarine boats obviously became an indispensable and important combat force at this time.
The Soviet Navy has deployed a fleet of Ka-15 anti-submarine helicopters since 1958
Since Gorshkov could not challenge Khrushchev politically, although the new warship required aviation operation capabilities, he packaged the aircraft carrier program in the name of "anti-submarine cruiser" to avoid Khrushchev's suspicions. (Rushchev believes that the development of nuclear weapons and missiles is more promising than the development of the navy, and that large surface ships are only living targets in the face of nuclear missiles, whether battleships or aircraft carriers.) (2,400 sqm flight deck and 2,000 sqm hangar)
At that time, similar helicopter cruisers were being planned in Western Europe, including the Joan of Arc of the French Navy, the Tiger-class helicopter cruiser of the British Royal Navy, and the Andrea Doria-class helicopter cruiser of the Italian Navy. Similar to these, ships of this class, like ordinary cruisers, are equipped with weapons in the bow, structures such as bridges are placed in the center, and the aft deck is a helicopter deck. In terms of hull construction, priority was given to ensuring the deck area required for the helicopter, thus sacrificing seaworthiness and propulsion performance, and the superstructure was made of aluminum-magnesium light alloy. In addition, despite the large number of new equipment and the number of crew members required more than originally planned, there was not enough living space to ensure that living conditions were extremely poor. The seakeeping also did not meet the requirements, in the Xi the first wave, the RBU-6000 could not be used directly into the water, after 1976, the torpedo tubes, twin 30mm guns and other equipment were dismantled, the weight was reduced, and the living quarters were expanded, but the effect was not ideal.
The two ships have been in the fleet for almost 30 years and have repeatedly carried out combat missions in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. Both ships were involved in the actions of the 5th (Mediterranean) Operational Squadron of the Navy: the cruiser "Moskva" carried out eleven combat missions in the Mediterranean Sea and two in the Atlantic. In March 1974, he was in the theater of operations on a combat mission to assist the Egyptian armed forces. "Leningrad" has carried out 15 missions in the Mediterranean, twice around Europe, into the Baltic Sea, and around Africa. Between 1970 and 1974, the aircraft carrier "Leningrad" appeared several times in hot spots, providing assistance to the Egyptian armed forces. In 1974, he demined the Suez Canal, and in 1984, he demined the waters of the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen and Ethiopia
finale
On June 24, 1991, "Leningrad" was decommissioned and disarmed. In December of the same year, his crew was disbanded, and in August 1995 he was towed to India to dismantle scrap metal. On April 27, 1994, the "Moscow" was classified as a reserve of the second category. He was officially decommissioned on 7 November 1996 and towed to Mumbai in May 1997
