Sevastopol shipbuilders will complete the repair of the Rostov-on-Don submarine in mid-summer

Shipbuilders of the Sevastopol Marine Plant (a branch of the Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center, part of USC) will complete the repairs of the Rostov-on-Don and repair the damage received on September 13, 2023 as a result of a Ukrainian cruise missile strike on the enterprise by the end of the first half of this year, said the agency’s interlocutor. TASS does not have official confirmation of this information.

According to the agency’s interlocutor, the 13th ship repair plant is the lead contractor for the order for repairs of the submarine. Specialists from the Admiralty Shipyards (St. Petersburg), where the submarine was built, are also participating in the work.

Let us recall that on September 13, 2023, Ukraine launched a cruise missile attack on Sevmorzavod, where the large landing ship (BDK) «Minsk» of the Baltic Fleet was being repaired and the submarine «Rostov-on-Don» of the Black Sea Fleet was undergoing scheduled repairs. As the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the same day, “two ships of the Navy, undergoing scheduled repairs at the Ordzhonikidze shipyard in the city of Sevastopol and damaged as a result of a missile attack by the Kiev regime on September 13, will be fully restored and will continue to serve in combat service as part of their fleets.” Also earlier, another source told TASS that the damage received on September 13 by the Rostov-on-Don submarine is not critical and will not lead to a significant increase in the time it is under repair.
