Sovremenny class Destroyer

sovremenny1 (45K)

BACKGROUND

Similar in size to the American Aegis cruisers, the Sovremenny class Guided Missile Destroyers are designed to attack enemy ships and to provide protection from air and ship attack. They are intended to complement the Udaloy class destroyers and are also capable of operating in anti-submarine, anti-aircraft and coastal bombardment roles. The Sovremenny class is armed with missiles, torpedos, mines, guns and an electronic warfare system. Due to changes in construction, later Sovremenny ships use different weapons systems than earlier ships.

The Sovremenny class's anti-ship weapons are 8 Moskit 3M80E missiles launched from two quad-launchers mounted on either side of the ship's forward superstructure. Later ships use the improved 3M82 Moskit anit-ship missiles. For air defence, the Sovremenny class use either two Shtil missile systems with 48 missiles or 24 SA-N-17 Grizzly surface-to-air missiles. Both systems are mounted on a raised deck behind the two twin-barrelled AK-130-MR-184 130 mm guns for and aft of the superstructure.

In addition to the missiles systems and 130 mm guns, the ships are equiped with four 6-barrel AK-630 30 mm gattling guns for defence against air and surface targets. 2 double-533 mm torpeado tubes, two 6 barrel RBU-1000 ASW RL rocket launchers with 48 rockets and a Ka-27 helicopter are used for anti-submarine warfare. The Sovremenny class also carries 40 mines. 14 ships of the original design were commissioned, only 9 of which are still operational. 3 upgraded models are also in service. A fourth ship was completed as a barge. Two others were sold to China.

NOTES:
  1. Depleting the MDC of the main body will put the destroyer out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, the ship itself will be an unsalvageable sinking wreck.
  2. Destroying the command tower will instantly kill the command staff and deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. Destroying the main sensory array behind the command tower will have the same effect, but the command staff will not be killed instantly.
  3. Destroying the flight deck will greatly impair the destroyers ability to deploy and recover Helicopter.
  4. Depleting the MDC of the propellors will leave the ship adrift until such time as they are repaired or the ship is towed back to port.

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. AKA-130 130 mm GUN MOUNTS (2):

This fully automatic lightweight gun is accurate against fast, highly maneuverable surface targets, air targets and shore bombardment threats. One of these guns is mounted forward of the bridge, the other is aft.

2. URAGAN MISSILE LAUNCHING SYSTEM (2):

The primary anti-aircraft/missile weapon of the destroyer utilises the 9M-38 Missile (SA-N-7 Gadfly) and is situated in single rail mounts forward and aft.

3. MOSKIT ANTI-WARSHIP SYSTEM (2):

The primary anti-ship weapon of the destroyer uses the P100 (SS-N-22 Sunburn) and is situated in two quad-launchers.

4. AK 630 (CIWS) (4):

The primary close-in defensive weapon of the Ushakov and Lazarev are the primary defence against inner range aircraft and missiles. These guns are effective against low flying aircraft/missiles.

5. RGB-10 ZAPAD (2): (RBU-1000)

Six tubed ASW Mortar used for combating submerged enemies.

6. 533 mm SET 65ME TORPEDO LAUNCHER TUBES (2):

The secondary Anti-Submersible weapon of the destroyer. These three barrelled torpedo launcher tubes fire heavy warhead torpedo's designed to destroy submarines, and/or sea based installations with a single torpedo.

7. ELECTRONIC WARFARE SUITE

Used to defeat hostile radar and Sonar, the ECM/ESM, (Electronic Counter Measures), jammers will confuse all radar and sonar so that the ships is much harder to be detected or locked onto with radar/sonar guided weapons. This does not give away the position of the ship but it does let the enemy know that they are there. The only way that it can be defeated is with ECCM, (Electronic Counter-Counter Measures).

8. PK-10 CHAFF/ FLARE DECOY DISPENSORS (8):

The carriers counter-measures dispensors consist of two 130 mm Chaff/Flare launchers. Triggered by the Principal Weapons Officer, (PWO,) they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the PWO chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the ship. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.
