GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Admiralty yard in St. Petersburg is one of theoldest andlargest
shipyards in Russia. It was established as the New Admiralty yard in 1800, supplementingand
soon replacing the Main Admiralty yard that had been founded in the center of the city acentury
earlier, and was transferred to its current location as the Admiralty Shipyard in 1908. It wasa
major builder of battleships in the 19th century and submarines and cruisers in the 20th. Sincethe
mid-1950s its surface-ship facilities have specialized on large merchant ships, icebreakers,large
rescue and salvage ships, fish-factory ships, floating dry docks, and a few naval auxiliaries
(notably the three large missile range support ships of the Marshal Nedelin class). In 1966the
yard resumed submarine production with the delivery of a Victor I-class nuclear attacksubmarine,
and production of Victor II and Victor III-class nuclear and Kilo-class diesel submarines
followed. In 1972 Admiralty absorbed the Leningrad Shipbuilding and MechanicalEngineering
(Sudomekh) yard, located on the original site of the New Admiralty yard and a specialist in
submarine construction since the 1930s. The resulting entity was named the LeningradAdmiralty
Association. In recent years, Admiralty has produced numerous specialized submersibles,
including the civilian Sever-2 (1969), Tinro-2 (1972), Bentos (1975-1982), Tetis (1976),Osa,
Argus, and Osmotr (1988) types, plus the naval Lima, Uniform, Xray, Beluga, and Paltus classes.
Admiralty is still producing sea-going vessels, but it is also expanding into other technologiesand
products to support itself.
