"The planned dock repairs will begin before the end of the week and will be completed by mid-June," shipyard spokesman Gleb Chubinsky told Flotprom.
The ship’s underwater hull, rudder-propeller unit and outboard fittings will be examined and then repaired, if necessary. When the work is completed, the ship’s underwater hull will be painted.
The press office said that the arrival of the frigate Yaroslav Mudry in Kronstadt had nothing to do with the sudden combat readiness check of the Baltic Fleet.
During the repair, part of the crew members will be onboard the ship.
The frigate Yaroslav Mudry was previously repaired by the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad in west Russia. One of the ship’s turbines underwent repair at the Metallist-Samara Company in the Volga area.
The Navy has decided to have the frigate repaired at the Kronstadt Shipyard as the ship is expected to take part in a naval parade in St. Petersburg on the occasion of Navy Day.
