Patrol ships of project 159 type SKR-1(according to NATO classification - Petya-I class frigate) - patrol ships that were in service with the Soviet Navy in the post-war years.

Story

Project development

During the construction of Project 159 ships, it was decided to build a second series of ships with Project 35 armament. The project received the number 159-A (NATO classification Petya-II). The ships were built from 1966 to 1972 in the amount of 23 units, 7 of them were delivered to various countries. A special export project 159-AE (according to NATO classification Petya-III) was also developed for deliveries to India, Syria and Vietnam.

In order to increase the capabilities of patrol boats to detect underwater targets, it was decided to modernize them according to the 159-M project (according to the NATO classification Modified Petya-I class), which was carried out by the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau in 1969-1971 and provided for the placement of the towed GAS "Vega" instead of the aft weapon system . In total, 9 ships were modernized from 1973 to 1980.

Construction

The lead ship SKR-1 was built in 1961 at the Yantar Shipyard No. 820 in Kaliningrad. By 1965, the first series of 19 ships was built at the factories of the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad and the Khabarovsk Shipyard No. 368. Later, the construction was continued according to the project 159-A.

Service

The ships were active in the USSR Navy: until May 1966 they were classified as anti-submarine ships, and then only as TFR. The last of them were withdrawn from the fleet in 1994.

The Black Sea SKR-27, while on combat duty in the war zone in the Mediterranean, performed a combat mission to assist the armed forces of Egypt in June and during. The Pacific TFR-23, while on combat duty in the war zone in the Arabian and Red Seas, performed a combat mission to assist the armed forces of Ethiopia in -.

Patrol ship pr. 159 was designed by the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau under the leadership of A.V. Kunakhovich, and pr. 159A and pr. 159M - under the leadership of O.V. Rogozhnikov. They were intended for the protection of the water area, long-term patrol service and the fight against submarines in the coastal zone. Until 05/19/1966, they were classified as anti-submarine ships (PLK). The hull is smooth-deck, steel, with elements made of light alloys, with a double bottom throughout. The double-bottom space was partially used for fuel storage. The hull was divided by watertight bulkheads into 12 compartments. Superstructures were made of light alloys. The main mechanisms were located in two engine rooms, between which there was a compartment with two GTGs. In the bow engine room were both gas turbine engines, and in the stern - DD. All engines were connected to the shafts with the help of gearboxes. All shafts worked at full speed, and at the economic one, only the middle shaft (with CPP) with freely rotating side shafts, which worsened the efficiency of the installation (due to the resistance of the screws).

Since the propulsion unit was single-shaft, in order to increase the maneuverability of the SKR in narrow spaces or when mooring (DD worked extremely unstable at low speeds), active rudders with water-submersible electric motors were installed on the first ships of project 159, and on the rest - a thruster ( column) of the German company "Pleiger" (Germany). Subsequently, on the basis of this device, a retractable propulsion-steering column (VDRK) "Povort-159" was developed, which was installed on all TFRs in the process of construction or medium repairs.

The torpedo-shaped radome of the GAS antenna, for the first time in the practice of military shipbuilding, was made of titanium. To reduce the acoustic field and the level of interference with the operation of the GAS, air was supplied to the propellers, the GEM mechanisms had soundproof shock absorption and vibration damping coatings. All pipelines were equipped with flexible pipes.

Ships of this type had good seaworthiness. The use of weapons was possible when the sea was up to four points. Onboard controlled rudders were used as a means of calming the pitching. Experts considered obsolete weapons, complex design and low reliability of the main mechanisms to be the main drawback of Project 159 and its modifications.

In total, in the period from 1958 to 1976, 45 ships of this type were built for the Soviet fleet. Of these, 22 units according to project 159, and 23 - according to project 159A. The lead (experimental) TFR was built in Zelenodolsk at Shipyard No. 340 (since 1966 Zelenodolsk Shipyard named after Gorky), and serial ships - in Kaliningrad at Shipyard No. 820 (since 1966 Baltic Shipyard "Yantar") and in Khabarovsk at Shipyard No. 876 (since 1966 Khabarovsk Shipyard). The order for one ship, pr. 159A (SKR-88) was canceled on 4.08.1967. Two more ships pr. 159A (SKR-96 and SKR-95) during the construction period were bought by the governments of Ethiopia and Vietnam. They were part of the Soviet fleet temporarily, only in preparation for the transfer to the customer. TFR pr. 159A, unlike pr. 159, had two five-pipe 400-mm TA, instead of four RBU-2500 - two RBU-6000 and instead of the Fut-N radar - the Rubka radar. On the part of the TFR, the Turel radar was installed. In the period from 1969 to 1973, in order to increase the capabilities of Project 159 for detecting submarines, a project for its modernization, known as Project 159M, was developed in the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau. In accordance with it, on ships, instead of the stern RBU-2500, they installed the Vega sonar with an antenna in a towed fairing, instead of the Titan and Vychegda sonar in the wing fairing, the Platinum-MS sonar, instead of the Fut-N radar - radar "Cutting", and instead of the radar "Neptune" - the radar "Don-2". SKR-11, SKR-18, SKR-26, SKR-33, SKR-38, SKR-41, SKR-43, SKR-46 and SKR-47 were modernized along Project 159M. At the same time, the Fut-N radar continued to be maintained on SKR-33, SKR-38 and SKR-46.

In the early 60s, SKR-1 (with simultaneous reclassification to OS-332) was converted into an experimental vessel for testing the Whirlwind PLRK. In the mid-70s, SKR-17 (with simultaneous reclassification to OS-34) was equipped with the Avrora-N GAS with the Ruza-N lift-stop-start lowering device (PSU). The working body of the HAS with the PSU was placed in a closed hangar, mounted instead of the stern RBU-2500. On SKR-46, GAS "Vega" was tested, and on SKR-98 - GAK "Bronze". The first was intended for TFR pr. 1135 and pr. 1135M, and the last one for PSKR pr. 11351 and MPK pr. It worked out sensor carriers and equipment for non-acoustic submarine search tools on the topics "Kaira" and "Struya-2M". At the same time, tests were carried out on the POU SOKS "Kaira". In the late 70s, the fully equipped SOKS "Kaira" was tested on the SKR-34.

Of the 45 ships pr. 159 and pr. 159A built for the Soviet fleet, by December 1991, 14 units remained in service. Nine ships (SKR-82, SKR-94, SKR-95, SKR-100, SKR-104, SKR-108, SKR-115, SKR-130 and SKR-135) were sold to the governments of Vietnam (four units), Ethiopia (two units) and India (three units). The remaining TFRs (23 units) for various reasons were expelled from the combat strength of the fleet and scrapped.
