Evidence of a New Ship Construction Program at
Leningrad Shipyard Zhdanov 190, USSR (S)
(TSR) Increasing photographic evidence indicates that a new class of ship, probab
l a
surface combatant, is being constructed at Leningrad Shipyard Zhdanov 190, USSR
~
25X1
At least four subassemblies, which cannot be readily associated with existing
25X1
construction programs, have been seen at the shipyard.
(TSR
an unidentified main deck bow plate and an un-
25X1
identified superstructure section were first observed in the platen area, sout
h of the old
lattice-covered ways (Area K V/H 10.5/21.5).* Mensuration from photography
25X1
showed the main bow plate
25X1
this bow plate (Figure 1) had been placed next to the four-dish cluster array for
25X1
Vytegrale conversion (Area K, V/I~ 9/21.4).
(TSR an incomplete bow section was adjacent to the
transverser and south of the construction hall (Area H, V/H 14.5/27). This section (Figure 3)
was approximately 23.0 meters long with a beam of 6.0 meters at its widest point. The
longitudinal framing seen on this section is indicative of combatant construction. This sec-
tion was removed from this position
(TSR) ~ an unidentified subassembly (Figure 3) was obser-
ved north of the incomplete bow section.
Two circular openings, ~ are in the corner of one end of the sub-
assembly. The subassembly is on 2-meter-high pedestals. This subassembly remained in
this position
(TSR) The teardrop-shaped opening in the unidentified superstructure section is
similar to the opening in the forward weapons position of the modified KASHIN DDG
(guided missile destroyer) Provornyy. The circular openings could be for gun or electronics
positions. This function and the longitudinal framing of the incomplete bow section indicate
that this ship may be a combatant. The presence of these subassemblies together with the
slowing down of the KRESTA-II CG (guided missile cruiser) program, a possibly interim
KRIVAK-I DD (destroyer) program, and extensive improvement/construction of the
physical facilities at the shipyard indicate that a new class of surface combatant may be un-
der construction
