For a few days, the shipbuilders together with the crew will check the work of navigational equipment and power plants and assess the steerability and stability of the corvette. They will also check the correspondence of navigability, maneuverability and sailing qualities to the previously approved documentation and assess the reliability of all the corvette's equipment and mechanisms.
Having successfully performed the mooring tests the Amur shipbuilders have closed almost all the mooring certificates. The galley is operational on the ship, and the corvette's crew and the delivery team are accommodated in acceptable living and working conditions. Last week the ship underwent electromagnetic processing and, according to the corvette's commissioning officer Razgen Baratashvili, it was fully prepared for the start of sea trials.
The final stage in the construction of the serial corvette will be the state tests, after which the shipbuilders should transfer the ship to the Russian Navy.
The Rezky is the fourth corvette of project 20380 built by Amur Shipyard. She was laid in 2016. In late October, the warship was delivered in the Zeya transportation dock to Vladivostok for final construction.
The Steregushchiy class, Russian designation Project 20380, is the newest class of corvettes being built for the Russian Navy. Designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau, subsequent vessels were built to an improved design (Project 20381), incorporating the Poliment-Redut SAM system.
The class is armed with one 100 mm A-190 Arsenal or 130 mm A-192 naval gun, one Kashtan CIWS-M (Close-In Weapon System), eight Kh-35 (SS-N-25) subsonic cruise anti-ship missile, two AK-630М CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems), eight 330mm torpedo tubes for Paket-NK (Paket-NK/E for export) anti-torpedo/anti-submarine torpedoes and two 14.5mm MTPU pedestal machine guns.
