Russian Shipyards Develop and Build New Ships for the Navy

The development of strong and effective Navy is one of Russia’s key priorities. In coming years, the fleet will receive over one hundred new surface ships and submarines of different classes.

“We are fully committed to implementing this ambitious programme. I want to emphasise again that the development of strong and effective Navy is one of Russia’s key priorities. We will consistently develop underwater and surface vessels. We are planning to build up the rate of the fleet’s renewal and growth,” said Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia at the ceremony of presenting the Order of Nakhimov to nuclear-powered missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky.

At present the Russian shipyards are developing and building new ships; design centres are creating new marine technology.
