"Creating perspective appearance of a new nuclear aircraft-carrier for the Navy is in progress. These works are performed by a number of companies in St. Petersburg," said the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Chirkov. According to him, the new vessel will be able to easily interact both with surface ships and submarines. She will also be able to control orbiters. "The aircraft-carrier should have high capabilities for combat missions at any conditions at any sea and ocean battle ground," emphasised Viktor Chirkov.
Two of the three heaviest nuclear submarines of type Akula will be disposed, as reports Russian Newspaper. This was finally proposed by the Russian Ministry of Defence. The decision to dispose of the Arkhangelsk and the Severstal was taken for solely financial reasons, because the very maintenance of their life systems requires too large financial expenses. Exact amounts were not specified.
In autumn 2013, Russia will deliver the stern of the first helicopter carrier of type Mistral for completing the equipping process, as said the Russian Deputy Defence Secretary Yuri Borisov to RIA Novosti today, on 20 May.

Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard laid a keel of push-tug of type 81. She is the third of the six serial vessels supplied under the contract concluded with P.TransCo in February 2013. The push-tug of type 81 with azimuthal motion has a full displacement of 365 t, length of 25 m, beam of 10 m. The vessel is designed for pushing and short-term (emergency) towing of barges of type 82 with a full displacement of about 5 200 t and speed of 10 kt. The vessel is of Russian River Registry class М3.0 (ice 10) A, which means "sea-going, capable of moving in ice 10 cm thick and at wave height 3.0 m")
Foreign companies will be handed over the ships, which the United Shipbuilding Corporation delayed, as said the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov.
