Patrol ship. Fleet patrol ships - classification and purpose See what a "Patrol Ship" is in other dictionaries

A vessel belonging to the class of surface ships designed to carry out guard patrol service, protect passenger and transport ships, repel attacks by enemy submarines, torpedo ships and aircraft, both on the high seas and in a permanent parking lot. The patrol ship can also carry out patrol service near military bases, guard the border of the state, ports and approaches to them.

For the first time, the need for the construction of patrol ships arose in the First World War, after the introduction of submarines into the fleet of many states of the world. It was for the search for the latter that shipbuilders developed a special class of ships capable of providing effective resistance to enemy submarines. Naturally, battleships and destroyers coped with this task no less effectively, but building and equipping them for the sole purpose of protecting the sea from the actions of the submarine fleet was extremely unprofitable, so it was decided to build lighter ships, exclusively for security purposes.

Patrol ship "Gromky"

The first patrol ships appeared in the English fleet, since it was Great Britain that first faced the need to organize a systematic rebuff to enemy submarines, causing significant damage to the reputation of the best fleet in the world.

The first English patrol ship was called P-bots, it had an iron ram installed on its bow, with which it was possible to easily destroy an enemy submarine, which at that time did not yet know how to dive to great depths. The displacement of the first patrol ship was only 573 tons, while it could reach a speed of 22 knots per hour. The ship was armed with only one 100-millimeter gun, two small weapons, two torpedo tubes, and depth charges.

Wanting to keep up with the British, the Americans hastened to build 60 such ships of the Eagle type for the needs of their fleet at once. Officially, the ship did not receive the name of a patrol ship either in the British Navy or in the US Navy, and only during the First World War did a class of real patrol ships appear in Russia.


The first British patrol ship "P-bots"

The first patrol ship in Russia was built between 1914 and 1916, the new ship was classified as a type, its displacement was only 400 tons, and it was capable of reaching speeds of up to 15 knots per hour, which was slightly more than the speed that a submarine was capable of on the surface. Without entering the port, the Russian patrol ship was able to travel at least 700 nautical miles. The Korshunov were armed with 102-millimeter guns, anti-aircraft guns and even depth charges.

The ceremony of official acceptance of the patrol ship into the Russian fleet was held in October 1917, just a few days before the start of the Revolution, which had a direct, to some extent, negative impact on the inclusion of ships of this type in naval squadrons. The first 12 patrol ships never entered the fleet, remaining unfinished.

In the following years escort ships also appeared in the Italian navy, in addition, the British made some improvements in their own shipbuilding and gave the world a new type of escort ship, qualified as "Spey".

The combat mission of the English "Spey", and the American "Igla", and the Russian "Kite", and the Italian "Alexander" was the same, the ships of these types were intended solely for patrolling, timely detection of the enemy and warning of heavy warships However, they had their own classification in each state. So, in the UK, a frigate, corvette and destroyer were also considered a patrol ship. Gradually ships qualified as corvettes, frigates and destroyers appeared in the fleets of all states of the world, but in Russia they are still referred to as nothing more than a "patrol ship".


The first Russian patrol ship "Korshun"

In Soviet Russia, the first patrol ship appeared in 1931, it belonged to the Uragan type and was intended to carry out reconnaissance and security services of the borders of the Soviet Union in the Baltic and Black Sea. In addition, this type of ship could reliably protect the convoy from attacks by enemy submarines and aircraft, and the patrol ship could also be used as a high-speed minesweeper. In the pre-war period, only 18 ships described above were built, and about 5-6 years before the war, patrol subclasses were introduced - the ships were divided into small and large patrol ships.

Small patrol ships included ships of the Rubin type, somewhat smaller in comparison with the Hurricane, intended exclusively for anti-submarine defense and having their own diesel power plant, which allowed the ship to reach speeds of up to 15 knots per hour.

A little later, the Rubies and Hurricanes were replaced by the same type of Diamond, a patrol ship capable of speeds of over 17 knots per hour. In 1935, patrol vessels of the Kirov type were built in the Far East for the needs of the Pacific squadron, capable of sailing at a speed of more than 18 knots per hour. Patrol ships of this type were built in Italy, had a displacement of over 1,000 tons and a cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles.

For the needs of the Arctic in 1937, a patrol ship of the "Purga" type was designed, its high-speed and combat qualities were duly appreciated by sailors during the Second World War.

At the moment, in all countries of the world, it is still customary to divide patrol ships into destroyers, frigates and corvettes, with the exception, as always, is Russia, where such a classification has not taken root. A modern Russian patrol ship has a displacement of up to 4 thousand tons, a speed of 35 knots per hour, is armed with anti-aircraft and anti-ship installations, powerful artillery equipment, means for searching for submarines, as well as means for destroying them.

And to protect the maritime border. As an independent class, anti-submarine defense ships were introduced into World War I, due to the fact that submarines, which were originally supposed to be used for limited purposes near bases, showed their high tactical qualities and combat effectiveness from the first days of the war. For the first time, there was an urgent need for smaller and less expensive, compared to destroyers, ships that could withstand an underwater enemy. A special ship was needed that could search for submarines, escort transports, and carry out patrol duty near naval bases. Destroyers could successfully solve these tasks, but they were clearly not quantitatively enough. Possessing significant firepower, the destroyers were involved mainly in other combat missions, the sector of which expanded enormously.

England was the first to start an intensive search for forces and means to fight German submarines, develop anti-submarine warfare tactics, and improve anti-submarine weapons and means. Thus, for the first time in the world, the first anti-submarine ships appeared in the British Navy, during the 1st World War, in connection with the active operations of German submarines. Then in England they started building patrol ships - P-Boats, with a bow steel tusk (displacement 573 tons, full speed - 22 knots, one 100-mm gun, two 2-pound guns, two torpedo tubes, depth charges ).

For the American fleet, following the example of the British, they urgently laid down about 60 units of ships similar to the TFR - the Eagle type.

In the mid-1930s, a new subclass of patrol ships was introduced for the naval border forces of the USSR - the "Border Patrol Ship" (PSKR) or "Small Patrol Ship".

For anti-submarine defense of the USSR Navy bases, the Rubin-type PSKR (Project 43) were designed and built, somewhat smaller in size compared to the Uragan type, with a diesel power plant (displacement of approximately 500 tons, speed of 15 knots; armament: 1 × 102 mm; 2 × 37 mm anti-aircraft guns; anti-submarine weapons). The same type of TFR "Brilliant": laid down in 1934; built and commissioned in 1937; displacement 580 tons; dimensions: 62×7.2×2.6 m; 2200 hp; maximum speed - 17.2 knots; cruising range (economic speed) - 3500 miles; armament: 1 × 102 mm, 2 × 45 mm, 1 × 37 mm, 2 × 12.7 mm, 2 bombers; up to 31 mines, crew - 61 people.

In 1935, to ensure the maritime border guard of the NKVD of the USSR, the Far Eastern border district, the Kirov-type TFR was put into operation. Only two ships of this type, according to the Soviet order, were built in Italy (laid down and launched in 1934; normal displacement - 1025 tons; dimensions: 80 × 8.3 × 3.75 m; power plant - 4500 hp ; speed - 18.5 knots; cruising range - 6000 miles; armament: 3 × 102 mm, 4 × 45 mm, 3 × 12.7 mm, 3 × 7.62 mm, 24 mines, depth charges (10-large and 35-small), in the process of service, the weapons were modernized.

In 1937, for service in the Arctic latitudes, the PSKR of the "Purga" type (Project 52), an icebreaker-type hull, was designed in the USSR. The lead ship was laid down at the Leningrad plant "Sudomekh" on 12/17/1938, launched on 04/24/1941.

On the eve of the Second World War, new classes of escort ships were introduced in the British Navy: Escort Destroyer, Frigate and Corvette, which, differing significantly in their tactical and technical elements (TTE), had a common main purpose. Therefore, in the classification system of the Soviet Navy, these ships were conditionally assigned to the class of TFRs intended for escorting convoys in coastal waters, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense.

During the 2nd World War, the Watchtowers were part of all fleets. Their combat activity was most clearly manifested in the Arctic, where, in addition to the "real" TFR, mobilized fishing trawlers (RT), icebreakers and ships of other civilian departments, which were equipped with light weapons, were actively used. In addition, border ships (PSK) replenished the number of TFRs.

The Second World War confirmed the value of the TFR in the composition of the fleets. These ships, from the first to the last day, carried out military service: hunting and destroying submarines; laying minefields; landing; delivery of food, ammunition, fuel to besieged cities, evacuation of the wounded and civilians, raids on the nearest enemy communications, escort of transport ships.

After the Second World War, in the fleets of a number of states, warships, which, from the standpoint of the Soviet classification, are similar to the TFR class, are actually classified either as an "Escort destroyer" or as a "Frigate" or "Corvette", depending on individual characteristics. Corvette, as a rule, of smaller displacement and less expensive to build. These ships are very numerous. In the early 1970s, there were 63 ships of similar TFRs in the US fleet and 124 units were in reserve. In England, their number was 65 units, in France - 28 units.

In modern conditions, ships similar to the TFR are intended mainly to provide anti-submarine defense of ships and vessels at sea, can be involved in the defense of formations of ships and convoys at sea crossings, to participate in anti-submarine operations as part of special groups, to support landing operations, carry out patrol and rescue service.

Taking into account the experience of the 2nd World War and the post-war development of missile weapons, the general trend in the development of the TFR is the improvement of anti-aircraft weapons systems that can effectively counteract the main enemy of surface ships - air attack weapons: aircraft, guided missiles, cruise missiles.

Statistically, modern patrol ships (escort destroyers, corvettes and frigates) have a displacement of up to 4,000 tons, the main power plant (MPP) is being developed and improved in the direction of switching from diesel and steam turbine to a more powerful gas turbine plant, speed 30 - 35 knots, armed with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, artillery mounts, submarine search equipment and anti-submarine weapons, electronic surveillance, communications, navigation and weapon control systems.

As of this year, the classification system for warships of the Russian Navy suggests replacing the Soviet classification term "Patrol Ship" with the term "Corvette".

1. A few years ago there was news that a ship sank in the hero city of Baltiysk, right in the harbor ...

2. In Baltiysk, on November 3, 1012, at 22:00, the warship Indomitable, decommissioned, sank. The incident became known on the morning of November 5.
The Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor's Office are checking the incident in the city of Baltiysk, where the patrol ship "Indomitable" sank. According to preliminary data, the vessel, withdrawn from the fleet 3 years ago, leaked as a result of natural corrosion of the hull. But it is possible that everything happened through the fault of non-ferrous metal hunters.
Late at night, the fireboats of the port service were informed that the patrol ship of the Baltic Fleet "Indomitable" was sinking. Rescuers who arrived at the scene first tried to pump water out of its interior. It soon became clear that she was arriving too quickly. Sergey Nosachevna even managed to assemble the pumps - he had to urgently leave the Indomitable.
“We received a command to move away from the side, as it could spread. They left from there. Something broke through and the water flowed too quickly, for three years it was afloat, and then it quickly sank and went under water, ”said Sergey Nosachev, senior sailor of the fireboat.
The patrol ship was moored at the far quay wall in the main military harbor of Baltiysk. Usually on board there are sailors on duty, but during the emergency they were absent, so no one was hurt. Four years ago, the Indomitable was withdrawn from the battle fleet and awaiting disposal. According to former sailors, all this time the ship was simply abandoned. The state of emergency, in their opinion, could have happened due to the fact that they began to cut off metal parts from it, even removed the kingstones.
“There are black diggers who remove bronze fittings for scrap. She is well regarded. They removed another shut-off valve, so he drowned, ”explained Leonid Golubinsky, a military pensioner, shipbuilding engineer.
Nosachev: “They began to dismantle it in front of us: they removed guns, towers from it, pulled out the armature. He had to leave. It's been five years that they can't write it off."

3. But he was such a handsome man during his lifetime ...

4. Participated in parades ...

6. Here is such a small mechanism ...

7. We spent about an hour looking for these remains, wandering around the back streets of the Baltic military harbor...

8. And when we were looking for them, I already wanted to spit and go home, because I didn’t even think what was waiting for me ...

9. But when I saw this with my own eyes ....

10. Then all doubts are gone!!!

11. Well, of course .... and who else ... =)

14. We concluded that we got it and sawed it not so long ago ...

16. The scale is not very clear?

A handful of watchmen left after the collapse of the Soviet Navy served gloriously (and continuedwishes to serve) to the Motherland and deserves the greatest respect, the manifestation of which is this publication. Information about the TFR of the Black Sea Fleet as of 21.01. received by me from a source who wished to remain anonymous, nearwhom to the Black Sea Fleet, for which I once again express my gratitude to him.

The ship returned to Baltiysk from a 7-month combat service (212 days)17.10.2013 and immediately disappeared from the media. Firstinformation that the TFR is under repair appeared on one of the forums on November 28, after which it was also indicated thereplace of action - Kaliningrad. Official clarifications from the press service of the Ministry of Defense followed only two months later.(01/24/2014), then the local news portal "Amber Island" connected. As a result, the following picture emerged.

"Currently, the ship has been docked at the berth of the Yantar Baltic Shipbuilding Plant forrestoration of technical readiness. The ship will be replaced afterburner engines, auxiliary dieselgenerators. Representatives of the plant will perform an average repair of all major systems: drainage, fire, fuel,electrical, as well as automation and control systems" ( link 1).

With gratitude, I dedicate the continuation of my version of AI to my colleague Ansar, who prompted me to predominantly build destroyers as the basis of the Red Army Navy.

Patrol ships (SKR)

TFR type Hurricane of the first series

The construction of patrol ships was carried out in the USSR according to the terms of reference approved on June 23, 1927: displacement during tests - 400 tons, length between perpendiculars 70, width - 7.1, draft - 1.9 m, main mechanisms - high-speed turbines with gears, maximum speed with normal fuel and water supplies - 29 knots, two 102-mm guns, three 40-mm Vickers machine guns, three heavy machine guns, one three-tube 450-mm torpedo tube, mines, depth charges, paravanes, trawls (for escorting battleships through enemy minefields). They were intended to protect formations of ships and convoys from attacks by submarines, torpedo boats and to carry out patrol service.

There were many design innovations in the Hurricane-type TFR project. For the first time in the domestic fleet, the power plant operated on superheated steam, direct-acting, low-speed turbines were replaced by GTZA with high-speed turbines. The installation was compact, and echelon placement increased its survivability. For the first time, the hull was assembled according to the longitudinal system. Also, for the first time, galvanizing of hull structures and welding (non-critical parts) were applied. The hulls of the TFR, despite the relief, turned out to be quite strong.
The first series of 8 ships was laid down in 1927 and launched in the period 1929-1930. In the spring of 1931, at the time the TFR was presented for acceptance tests, the displacement reached 465.3 tons against the design 400. With a total displacement of 610 tons, the ship had a maximum length of 71.5 m, a width of 7.4 m and a draft of 2.3 m. The disadvantage was a significant shortage of speed. For various reasons, the maximum speed was only 25.8 knots. On an economic 16-knot course, the cruising range was 1200 miles.

7 out of 8 patrol ships of project 2 (TFR type Hurricane) entered service in the period 1931-1933, and the last - 03/05/1933.

When accepting the Hurricane-type TFR of the first series, assessing seaworthiness and maneuverability, it was noted that the shallow draft, combined with the large windage of the high forecastle and superstructures, made the ship very rolly in strong winds and waves, and maneuvering in narrow spaces was very difficult. Seaworthiness was limited by a wave of 6 points, otherwise there was an intensive flooding of the forecastle, interruptions in propellers and a decrease in controllability. At the same time, the pitching turned out to be strong and swift, which made it very difficult to maintain the mechanisms and made it impossible to use weapons. Agility when moving stern forward was recognized as unsatisfactory, and at full reverse, shifting the rudder became completely impossible.
In general, the stability was considered satisfactory and it was believed that the ships could sail safely in the Baltic Sea. Due to the ill-conceived placement of moving cargo on the ships, the “swing” effect was noted - with a standard displacement, they had a trim to the stern of 0.173 m, and if the maximum amount of fuel was accepted, a trim to the bow appeared up to 0.215 m.

TFR type Hurricane of the second series

Before the laying of the second series of the TFR, the People's Commissar for Military Affairs Uborevich approved a new operational-tactical task for the TFR. Uborevich deleted the protection of ship formations from attacks by submarines and torpedo boats from the list of tasks, for lack (in his opinion) of such formations in the Red Army Navy. Air defense of convoys was added to the tasks. Now the TFRs were intended to protect convoys from attacks by aircraft, submarines and torpedo boats, as well as to carry out sentinel service.

With this simple decision, the shortfall in full speed from a burning problem that required an immediate solution turned into a matter of third-rate importance. This question, by the way, was never resolved in the future. The issue of mediocre seaworthiness and unreliable steering was recognized as more serious.

During the maneuvers carried out in the summer of 1932, it turned out that the 45-mm gun, which was located between the 102-mm gun and the conning tower, was so inconvenient that it jammed the calculation of the 102-mm gun and machine gunners, disabled the instruments installed on the bridge, and tore body kits.
Another, even more sad fact came to light: the cones towed at the summer 1932 air defense exercises did not receive holes from the fire of anti-aircraft 45mm semi-automatic guns of the TFR. Anti-aircraft fire, due to its low rate of fire, had only a psychological (although quite significant) effect on the enemy. The country needed automatic anti-aircraft guns, but the industry could not provide them yet.

The change in the OTZ, of course, entailed changes in the project itself of the second series of construction of the Hurricane-type TFR. Founded in 1933, 8 TFRs were built according to a project that reflected the errors of the first series identified during the protracted construction and delivery. The reliability of GTZA with high-speed turbines has increased, both due to the modification of design documentation for individual components and parts, and due to an increase in production standards. Changed the design of the screws. Made changes to the design of the steering machine. The bottom fuel tank was divided into three, and a synchronous fuel intake from the tanks was installed, which somewhat improved seaworthiness by eliminating the aforementioned “swing” effect.

The armament of the TFR in comparison with the first series was also changed. The 26-knot patrol ship still could not effectively resist modern destroyers, and even more so large ships, in battle, and in this case it was prescribed an evasive maneuver. Taking into account the fact that aircraft, submarines and small vessels were identified as the enemy of the guards at sea, 102mm gun mounts were considered excessive in caliber and insufficient in terms of versatility. Instead of the 102mm cannon, Plant No. 8 was ordered to urgently design and supply the Navy with a universal 76mm gun, based on a 76mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft gun, which in turn was developed in 1931-1932 at the indicated plant No. 8 based on the 7.5-cm German anti-aircraft gun firm "Rheinmetall". The difference between the gun and the anti-aircraft gun consisted mainly in the materials used, and the adoption of the universal 76mm naval gun into service took place already in 1933.

The armament of the Uragan TFR, which lost its torpedo tube due to the change in the OTZ, thus amounted to three 76mm universal guns and three 45mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft guns:

In total, 8 ships were laid down in 1933, which were launched in 1934 and entered service in 1935.
However, the exercises of the Red Banner Baltic and Black Sea Fleets in 1934 and 1935 on anti-submarine defense of convoys revealed a completely insufficient ammunition load of the main weapon of the TFR - depth charges. Observers on the submarines did not record the strikes of training depth charges. It was necessary to increase the number of bombs in the series, the total number of bombs and intensify combat training. The presence of a noise direction finder on board was also recognized as necessary.

TFR type Hurricane of the third series
Measures taken to improve the seaworthiness of the second series of TFR were found to be insufficient. The ships turned out to be suitable exclusively for the Black and Baltic Seas. For the Pacific and Northern Fleets, seaworthiness of 6 points was considered insufficient.
The TFR project for the third series was redesigned more significantly. The draft increased from 2.1 to 3.2 meters, the length was increased by 3 meters and the width was increased by 1 meter. Normal displacement increased from 470 tons to 800 tons. Speed ​​dropped to 21 knots.
The universal 76mm guns were replaced with universal 85mm ones, which was greatly facilitated by the fact that the gun carriage was identical - only the swinging part of the gun changed. The guns received ship shields 8mm thick. The middle gun was replaced by a significantly increased stock of depth charges, which was located on the deck in the middle of the ship.
A closed cabin appeared.
The aft superstructure received an air nest, which was supposed to be armed with two single-barreled 37mm guns. Two more guns were placed on the pylons of the cabin above the forecastle. However, by 1936, the industry had not mastered the 37mm automatic guns, and this type of weapon had to be purchased in Sweden. Thus, instead of 4 units of 45mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft guns, four single-barreled 40mm Bofors guns appeared on the TFR, and five 20mm Swiss Oerlikon automatic guns were installed instead of machine guns.
The small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery of the TFR aroused such enthusiasm among Soviet sailors that a license was bought from Bofors and Oerlikon, and in the future these two types of weapons were produced at Soviet factories.

In total, 16 ships of the third series were laid down in 1935, which were launched in 1936 and entered service in 1937-1938.

Another 16 ships of the third series were laid down in 1936, immediately after the launch of the first group of ships of the third series, launched in 1937..1938 and commissioned in the period 1938..1939.

In 1940, all TFRs of the third series were additionally equipped with BMB-1 bombers.

The total number of TFRs for 1941 was 48 units. The Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet were equipped with 12 TFRs of the third series, and the Black Sea Fleet and the KBF were equipped with 8 TFRs of the second series and 4 TFRs of the third series.

Applications

Freed up in 1936 after the completion of the production program for the construction of the TFR, the slipways were used for the construction of minesweepers and landing ships.
