Ship history:
Project 775 large landing ship
In the USSR Navy, the main motive for the emergence of new types of ships was the experience of combat services, according to which it was established that a large landing ship (LDS) was supposed to transport one battalion, a medium landing ship (SDK) - a company, and a small landing ship (SDK) - a platoon . Only the BDK Project 1171, which was already in service, fully met these requirements, but the SDK Projects 770, 771 and 773 did not satisfy them at all. For this reason, in 1968, at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral S.G. Gorshkov was given a tactical and technical task for the design of a new Project 775 SDK.
The design of the new SDK was carried out in Poland, the chief designer was the Polish shipbuilding engineer O. Vysotsky, the main observer from the USSR Navy was first captain 1st rank B.M. Molozhzhnikov, then civilian specialist M.I. Rybnikov, senior representative of the customer - engineer L.V. Lugovin. During the design process, the ships were reclassified into second-rank BDKs due to a significant increase in displacement.
The lead ship "SDK-47" (building No. 1) pr. 775 was built at the shipyard "Stocznia Polnocna" ("Northern Shipyard", where the chief was engineer B. Standura) in Poland in 1974. The first series of ships, which consisted of 12 KFOR, was completed in 1978. In the West, these ships were dubbed “Ropucha I” - this is how the word “frog” is pronounced in English transcription.
The second series of 16 SDKs (Project 775.ІІ or "Ropucha II") was completed in 1992. The ships of the second series were distinguished by other general detection radars, and starting from the third ship of the series - by other gun mounts (one 76-mm AK-176 and two 30 mm AK-630 instead of two 57 mm AK-572). It was also planned to build the third series of Project 775 specifically for the new T-80 tanks (in some sources referred to as “Project 778”), but the collapse of the Soviet Union interrupted the construction of these ships. The lead landing ship of this series, Rear Admiral Gren, was discontinued and scrapped in 1992-1993.
The construction of the BDK of this project was carried out by order of the USSR exclusively for its fleet. Not a single ship of Project 775 became part of the Navy of the allied powers under the Warsaw Pact. The only exception can be considered only one large landing craft, transferred to Yemen in 1979 from the Soviet forces that were based in the Indian Ocean.
The design of the landing ship Project 775 is a multi-deck, flat-bottomed ocean-going landing ship with a forecastle and a developed aft superstructure. By design, it belongs to ships built using the “Ro-Ro” system - with a tank deck that runs along the entire length of the ship. Its main purpose is to receive tracked, wheeled and any military transport equipment and infantry units of equipment from an equipped or unequipped shore, transport them by sea and land on both an equipped and unequipped coast with a small bottom slope through an open bow device, as well as receive from water, transportation by sea and launching of floating equipment through an open bow or stern device.
The ship can be used to lay minefields, deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the population from dangerous areas. In addition, the landing ship can be used for military transport, supplying ships and fleet units at dispersed deployment points.
The BDK can be used with various loading options: 150 landing troops and 10 T-55 tanks with a crew of 40 people; 12 PT-76 amphibious tanks with a crew of 36 people; a unit consisting of 3 tanks of the T-55 type with a crew of 12 people, 3 120-mm mortars, 3 combat vehicles of the 2G 27 type, 4 ZIL-130 vehicles, 4 GAZ-66 and one GAZ-69 passenger SUV. Landing personnel - 147 landing personnel. The ship is capable of transporting a cargo weighing 650 tons over a distance of 4,700 miles and sailing in all ice-free seas and oceans without restrictions.
The landing party is placed in a tank hold (length - 95 g, width of the bow - 6.5 g, width of the stern - 4.5 g, height along the center plane - 4.0 m), and can be landed on an equipped, unequipped coast or on the sea surface when the sea state is up to 4 points and the wind force is up to 5 points. The landing personnel are housed in several cockpits and 4-berth officer cabins.
Landing is carried out using a nasal landing device, which includes a nasal gate and a ramp. The landing of a landing force with non-floating equipment can be carried out directly onto equipped or unequipped coasts with a minimum bottom inclination of 2-3 degrees (depending on the general mass of cargo taken on board the ship). The presence of a bow ramp and a stern gate allows you to connect several vessels to create a kind of “bridge”. Dimensions of entry from the nose: width - 4.8 g, height - 5.5 g. Dimensions of entry from the feed: width and height - 5.5 g.
As a rule, Project 775 ships operate as part of a naval landing group or as part of a detachment of peacekeeping forces, but can perform their functions independently, without covering ships.
The large landing ship "BDK-67" of project 775/II was built in Gdansk (Poland) in 1988 (serial number 775/25). Entered service on April 30, 1988, and became part of the Black Sea Fleet.
In 1997, "BDK-67" took part in the international exercises "Fairway of the World - 97", in 1998 - in the international exercises "Sea Breeze-98". In 1999, the BDK-67 completed the government task of transporting the Russian peacekeeping contingent to Thessaloniki (Greece). In 2000, the ship fulfilled the government task of removing military equipment from Georgia.
Since June 2001, the administration of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation has been supervising the ship. On January 3, 2002, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, the ship was given a new name - "Yamal".
In July 2002, the Yamal BDK participated in supporting a naval religious procession across the Black Sea in honor of the first anniversary of the canonization of Saint Admiral F.F. Ushakova. And in October he participated in events dedicated to the day of memory of Admiral Fedor Ushakov on the island of Kerkyra (Corfu).
In June 2003, the BDK participated in a business call to the Egyptian Port Said as part of a detachment of Black Fleet ships. In October 2003, he made an official visit to the Greek island of Corfu, dedicated to the days of memory of the famous admiral Fyodor Ushakov, under whose command in 1799 Russian sailors liberated the island of Corfu from foreign invaders, with a visit to the islands of Spetses, Syros, as well as the ports of Pylos and Piraeus .
Currently, the large landing ship "Yamal" is part of the 197th brigade of landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet and is actively used in exercises and combat training of the fleet.
This ship was commanded at different times by:
- captain 2nd rank I. Gavrish;
- captain 2nd rank A. Kononenko;
- captain 3rd rank A. Gritsai;
- captain 2nd rank Valery Polyakov;
- captain 3rd rank Valentin Tyutkalo.
The 197th Brigade of Landing Ships is an active unit of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. It is based in Sevastopol. Includes large landing ships of Project 1171 Nikolai Filchenkov, Orsk (not in service) and Saratov, as well as Project 775 and 775M Azov, Novocherkassk, Caesar Kunikov and Yamal.
