The ship’s steel hull with a 2-tier superstructure and an elongated tank has 14 compartments. To carry out tasks from the northern latitudes, the hull received an ice belt of class L1 . Total displacement of 23.7 thousand tons. Length - 211 meters, width - 27.5 meters, draft - 8 meters, speed up to 22 knots. The ship is capable of receiving two deck-mounted Ka-27 helicopters; for this, there is a helipad equipped with night signal lights, a width of 22 meters, and two hangars for storing them. Also for them there is a reserve of jet fuel of about 105 tons. The payload of the ship is 7 thousand tons. Stocks of diesel fuel amount to 5300 tons, water more than 1000 tons, of which drinking more than 400 tons. Autonomy of swimming is up to 3 months. The crew of the ship is 339 people, taking into account the air group ^[1] . There are 104 people in the measuring complex, including 28 officers and 46 midshipmen ^[2] .

After being put into repair in 1990 with the subsequent withdrawal from the fleet of the ship of the Marshal Nedelin measuring complex, the Marshal Krylov CFC is unique to the world fleet.

KIC “Marshal Krylov” was built according to a slightly modified project 1914.1 and differs from the ships of project 1914 by the presence of the Fregat radar, as well as the next generation of naval radio equipment. Changes in the project also affected the internal layout of the premises. According to the results of state tests of CFC "Marshal Nedelin", bulkheadsMO additionally strengthened and installed soundproofing.

The ship has a full-time structure corresponding to the naval charter of the Russian Navy, but, in addition to conventional combat units and services, it has a unit under the designation "Measuring complex."

The structural measuring complex of “Marshal Krylov” is divided into three divisions that deal with measurements: the division of trajectory measurements (speed and coordinates of the target in a certain coordinate system), telemetric (transmission via radio channel of data on the state of the object during flight: temperature, vibration, etc. .) and computer technology (the division processes the received data) ^[2] .

CIC “Marshal Krylov” is named after the Twice Hero of the Soviet Union Marshal of the Soviet Union Nikolai Ivanovich Krylov . By a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of July 22, 1982, a corps was laid down at the Leningrad Admiralty Association. Launched on July 24, 1987. The grandmother of the ship was the granddaughter of Nikolai Krylov - Marina Krylova, who broke a traditional bottle of champagne on the stem during the ceremony of launching the ship into the water. Since then, the cork from the bottle has been kept at the Marshal Krylov KIK Museum as an amulet protecting the ship from harm ^[1] . Completion and refinement lasted afloat for two years. On July 9, 1989, his crew arrived on the ship under the command of the commander of the ship, captain of the 2nd rank, Yuri Mikhailovich Pirnyak, and the chief of the measuring complex, captain of the 3rd rank, Anatoly Grigoryevich Poberezhny ^[3] . CFC "Marshal Krylov" went into operation on December 30, 1989. February 23, 1990 raised the naval flag of the USSR ^[4] .

Upon transition to the Pacific Fleet, the ship went through the Suez Canal , and not along the Northern Sea Route , like other ships of this compound in a similar transition ^[1] .

On July 9, 1990 at 20:20 local time KIC “Marshal Krylov” arrived at the permanent base city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-50 , and anchored in Krasheninnikov Bay ^[3] .

In 1992, the Marshal Krylov CIC played a key role in the space mission Europe-America-500 . In the Seattle area during a 7-point storm, the Resource-500 space capsule was safely discovered, lifted aboard, and transported to Seattle , where it has since been stored at the Aviation Museum ^[2] .

In 1998, the military remained the crew of the measuring complex, reconnaissance, chemical team, helicopter complex and ship control, about 130 people in total. The remaining staff are contract servicemen and civil servants ^[2] .

In 2004, the Marshal Krylov KIK was engaged in monitoring the parameters of warheads at launch at the maximum range of the Topol ICBMs .

On April 24, 2010, on board the cruiser Aurora , a festive event was held in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Marshal Krylov CFC . The event was attended by veterans, ship builders and members of the first crews of the expedition. On behalf of the Union of Veterans, the medal “20 years of the Marshal Krylov CFC” was handed over to the chief builder of two ships of the 1914 project Valentin Anatolievich Talanov, deputy chief designer of the Baltsudoproekt Ryazantsev Yuri Ivanovich and Shardin Vadim Evgenievich ^[5] .

In 2011, the ship monitored the arrival of warheads at a given point in the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile. The test launch was made from the board of the Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear submarine, carried out at the maximum range of the sighting point in the Pacific Ocean .

At the end of 2012, the Marshal Krylov CFC completed the scheduled dock repair in Vladivostok and went to sea to perform tasks for its intended purpose ^[6] . On November 1, 2012, the Marshal Krylov CFC returned to its permanent home base after completing its mission. In two weeks, about two thousand miles were covered in the Pacific Ocean. During the voyage, the ship recorded telemetric information on the launches of ballistic and cruise missiles by the Pacific Fleet’s nuclear submarines and firing engagements by an attack group of small missile ships of troops and forces in Northeast Russia ^[7] .

In 2013, the crew of the Marshal Krylov CIC in Kamchatka hosted the participants in the Memory campaign dedicated to Victory Day , the 282nd anniversary of the formation of the Pacific Fleet and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Admiral Gennady Ivanovich Nevelsky . The commander of the ship, captain 1st rank reserve Igor Shalyna introduced the delegation to a unique ship, talked about the planned repair of the space complex. Veterans — participants in the campaign of Memory passed a gift from the Vladivostok Sea Assembly, a collective member of which the ship has been a member for many years. ^[8] .

Repair and modernization

October 8, 2014 CFC "Marshal Krylov" left Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Vladivostok for deep modernization ^[9] . The ship arrived at the Dalzavod on October 17. The proposed repair with modernization will allow the ship to extend not only the service life, but also to use it more intensively in order to ensure the military and space activities of the country ^[10] . Also, the modernization of the spacecraft systems will make it possible to use the Marshal Krylov KIK in the interests of the Vostochny space center . In June 2016, according to the modernization plan, for further replacement, a radio-transparent spherical casing (“ball”) was dismantled from the ship. In the fall of 2018, repairs and upgrades were completed.

Current status

At present, the ship is the only CFC of eight previously built ships remaining in service of the Russian Navy and capable of working with space and intercontinental objects ^[11] .

In the fall of 2018, the ship began sea trials after a deep modernization. According to the press, the command of the Pacific Fleet plans to re-qualify the ship as a ship control point. How the tasks of the fleet, Roscosmos, Strategic Missile Forces will be combined are not reported.

On the ship there is a ritual of "wetting". It occurs after a combat mission is completed, and not immediately after it went to sea. The entire crew is being built at the transition back to the base, seawater is drawn into the lampshade. A novice approaches the commander, seems to drink a shade of salt water, kisses the market and hits it. After that he reports: “A sailor (lieutenant) such and such a ritual of“ petting ”passed”. They shake his hand and give a certificate ^[2] .
