Vessel history:
Large sea tanker project 1599B
Sea tankers, which served in the Navy in the mid-60s, no longer fully satisfied the Navy. The exit of the fleet to remote areas of the oceans for military service, and in the 70s the appearance of aircraft carriers pr.1143 in its composition, required the creation of new, fairly large sea tankers.
Therefore, in 1967, the Design Bureau "Baltsudoproekt" urgently issued a TTZ for the design of a sea tanker pr.1559V, created on the basis of the MMF pr.1559 tanker. The main constructor
rum was S.N. Shumilov, and the main observer from the Navy, Captain 2nd Rank Yu.D. Makshanchikov. The limited time frame for the creation of this ship led to the need to retreat from many
important requirements of the Navy for ships of this purpose. So, I had to agree with the composition
the main power plant - single-shaft and low-power (one diesel engine with a capacity of 9,600 hp), providing a full speed of 16 knots.
On the tanker, a device was installed for transferring goods to the sea on the move in a traverse way,
allowing to carry out cargo operations with significant sea waves. As defensive weapons, two 57-mm gun mounts with the Bars control radar and 30-mm AK-630 assault rifles with the Vympel control radar were installed.
Due to the wide range of cargoes transferred, this tanker was a complex supply tanker.
The lead tanker project 1559V "Boris Chilikin" was built at the Baltic Shipyard in 1971. A total of 6 such tankers were built. During operation, their defensive armament was removed, and they themselves were even repainted in the color of MMF ships with a merchant flag. This made it easier for them to enter foreign ports.
The large sea tanker "Ivan Bubnov" was built at the Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad and launched on April 20, 1974. The ship became part of the Navy, and the flag was raised on it on July 19, 1975. Panov Konstantin Nikolaevich was appointed the first captain of the BMT.
After sea trials in the Gulf of Finland, on October 1, 1975, the tanker entered the first combat service in the Mediterranean Sea. Here the crew worked out ways to refuel ships and vessels, replenishing with supplies in the port of Tartus. At first, refueling was carried out at the side or on the backboard, and on November 7, 1975, three ships were simultaneously refueled on the move using traverse and wake methods (Leningrad anti-ship missile system, Nikolaev BOD and EM "Resourceful"). On December 2, 1975, he performed the tasks of military service in Atlantic Ocean and provided naval ships in the Conakry area. The tanker returned to the Mediterranean Sea after three months of work in the Atlantic, and on March 17, 1976, the tanker arrived at the main base Black Sea Fleet Sevastopol. During its operation, "Ivan Bubnov" made 25 exits to combat service and always received excellent marks. The vessel traveled more than 300 thousand miles, made more than 2,000 refueling of ships, transported and delivered more than 800 thousand tons of various cargoes. "Ivan Bubnov" visited foreign ports more than 40 times, some of them repeatedly.
From June 26 to July 27, 1983, the tanker took part in a major naval exercise of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and the Navy of the NRB with access to the Mediterranean Sea to provide ships and vessels in the operating zone of the Mediterranean squadron. During this time, it covered 12,690 miles, provided 91 ships and vessels, of which 60 units are on the move, 26,440 tons of various cargoes have been delivered to them.
From February 12 to June 7, 1984, the tanker, during combat service in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, participated in a friendly visit of a detachment of Soviet ships to the Republic of Cuba and joint exercises with ships of the Cuban Navy. Traveled 24320 miles.
For 10 years from 1975 to 1985, the BMT "Ivan Bubnov" was on a long voyage 13 times in various parts of the World Ocean. During this time, the tanker traveled more than 180,000 miles, made more than 1,300 refuelings of the Navy ships, and visited foreign ports more than 30 times.
During the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict, the crew of the tanker took an active part both in providing ships and vessels with fuel, and in the evacuation of refugees to the ports of the Russian Federation.
From October 13 to November 11, 2002, after a long stay, the tanker carried out the tasks of ensuring the march to the Mediterranean Sea of a detachment of warships as part of the Moskva RC, the Inquisitive RC and the Yamal BDK. In the period April-July 2003, the tanker, as part of a detachment of ships under the command of the Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral E. V. Orlov, made a trip to the Indian Ocean. During the service, the tanker repeatedly took part in operational and command and staff exercises, providing the ships with all the necessary supplies.
In the period from 09/19/2008 to 01/23/2009, the tanker carried out the tasks of providing fuel, water and food for the campaign of a detachment of warships in the Mediterranean, Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Produced 23 refueling of ships of the Black Sea and Northern fleets, 11 of them - on the move. Made business calls with Latakia (Syria), La Gueira (Venezuela), Havana (Cuba).
From 11/04/2016 to 06/07/2017, the tanker performed combat service in the Mediterranean Sea, during this time it covered 6911 miles. The crew successfully completed all the assigned tasks, refueling ships and vessels with fuel, water, and food. For 186 days of the campaign, the crew of the tanker made 179 refuelings. In total, the tanker delivered more than 12,000 tons of fuel, more than 60 tons of oil, 300 tons of boiler water, about 100 tons of fresh water.

AT recent history The Black Sea Fleet will not remember such a solemn and exciting meeting of an auxiliary vessel from combat service even the old-timers of the BSF auxiliary vessels brigade. However, there were good reasons for that. But first things first...
On January 23, together with the officers of the brigade on PSK-537, I went to sea to meet the large sea tanker (BMT) "Ivan Bubnov". Actually, our "campaign" was short - from the pier to the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay, where the flagship of the auxiliary fleet of the Black Sea Fleet majestically entered, and then along with it along the bay to the Coal Wall. We greeted the tanker and set off on a parallel course. And the military band of the brigade specially invited aboard the PUK marines, which is led by the highest professional Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail Solodky, presented the heroes of the occasion with the "Legendary Sevastopol". On the bridge of the tanker was the senior voyage commander of the brigade of auxiliary vessels, captain 1st rank Stanislav Stepanov. The meeting team was headed by the chief of staff of the brigade, Captain 2nd Rank Gennady Strambovsky. So we walked in parallel courses along the huge Sevastopol Bay, announcing it with soul-searching music. She was listened to on the tanker, ships and ships of the fleet. To be honest, it was very pleasant and exciting. However, the ceremony did not end there. When the tanker was moored to its native berth, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Alexander Kletskov, his deputy for educational work Rear Admiral Alexander Pushkarev. Here they were already awaited by Acting Head of Logistics of the Black Sea Fleet, Captain 1st Rank Yuri Rybakin, Head of the Auxiliary Fleet Department, Captain 1st Rank Oleg Istomin ... The wives and children of the sailors were waiting for the long-awaited meeting. Four months apart! From time to time, the brass of the orchestra rattled, creating a festive mood, which Black Sea residents lack so much today.
Usually, the crews of the auxiliary fleet ships that have successfully completed the tasks of combat service are met by the head of the rear services of the Black Sea Fleet, to whom, in fact, the brigade of auxiliary ships closes. But here is a special case. BMT "Ivan Bubnov" has been sailing since September 19 last year and during this time has passed nearly 20,000 nautical miles (19,967, to be exact). Consider walking around the entire planet! Moreover, along the route not only several seas familiar to him, including the Mediterranean, but also the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean. Its crew made 23 refuelings of the ships of the Northern and Black Sea Fleets. And 11 of them are on the move. It provided fuel, water and food to a detachment of warships of the Northern Fleet, which included the heavy nuclear cruiser Pyotr Veliky, the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Chabanenko and escort ships that served in combat at different latitudes of the oceans. Business calls and visits of the tanker to the ports of Latakia (Syria), La Gueira (Venezuela), Havana (Cuba) for the purchase of water, food and recreation for the crew went without comment, as did the parking on the roadstead of the port of Bluefield (Nicaragua).
Ladder down. The brigade commander captain 1st rank Stepanov reports to the fleet commander on the successful completion of the tasks assigned to him. A few minutes later the commander and other officials board the tanker.
Follows a clear report of the captain of the BMT Valery Larionov:
All the tasks assigned to combat service were successfully completed by the personnel, the work of the crew at sea was rated "excellent" by the commander of the warship detachment (OBK) of the Northern Fleet. The ship's crew is ready to carry out the next tasks of logistical support for the fleet forces.
Behind these short and dry phrases of the report lies the enormous work of a large and friendly crew. I was pleasantly surprised by a certain solidity and military uniformity of the lined up civilian crew, in which there were women. All men are in camouflage uniforms and identical branded headdresses tied to "Ivan Bubnov". However, there was nothing surprising in that. A significant part of the crew are reserve and retired officers and midshipmen, who have many years of naval service behind them.
The commander of the complex supply ship (KKS) "Berezina" - himself big ship of the Black Sea Fleet (it was larger than the helicopter carriers "Moscow" and "Leningrad") - I remember Captain 1st Rank Valery Larionov from a joint campaign since Soviet times, when the KKS provided ships and vessels of the Mediterranean squadron. Upper deck - 400 meters around the perimeter! An entire football field. And he delivered to the Mediterranean different types Fuels and lubricants, food, clothing, skipper, several thousand items of technical equipment and spare parts for ships and vessels of various projects and classes at their request. In the belly of this giant ship were dozens of warehouses, tanks and containers for various purposes. And all these huge and varied stocks, their replenishment, accounting and issuance were kept in memory by a domestic computer, which was not in the fleet.
KKS at that time was in demand and often went to the Mediterranean Sea. And at the Black Sea Fleet, all heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers were “run-in”, starting with Kyiv and ending with Tbilisi, which was then renamed the Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov. These are Minsk, Novorossiysk, Baku. AT compulsory program state tests of these ships included exercises for the transfer of goods on the move in a traverse-wake way. It was the flagship of the rear of the Black Sea Fleet KKS "Berezina" who participated in such exercises with powerful high-sided cruisers. Such content of the teachings in which I happened to participate were customary at that time. And what I remember from that time: there was a good sports area on the ship, which Valery Ivanovich regularly visited. Moreover, he was a kind of tuning fork, according to which the entire crew tuned in. Following the example of the commander, other officers, midshipmen, foremen and sailors also visited the sports corner. There were no problems with running either. Once ran around the deck of the ship - already 400 meters. Sailors did not suffer from hypodynamia here. Spartakiads on the ship were commonplace. Love for physical training and sports helped the officer to maintain health and performance. They and the high professionalism of the navigator were very useful to Larionov when the captain of the 1st rank of the reserve in 2004 from the post of deputy head of the auxiliary fleet department came to the "Bubnov" as a senior assistant to the captain. Behind were prestigious naval school named after M.V. Frunze, senior officer classes and the Naval Academy, service on the destroyer "Merciless", floating bases "Viktor Kotelnikov" and "Volga", KKS "Berezina". 11 combat services. And what services!
One of them, in the Indian Ocean, lasted 14 months and 3 days, recalls Valery Ivanovich. This is not forgotten. I remember this for the rest of my life. This, one might say, is a kind of long-sailing records of the Soviet era. If you add up all the days spent at sea, then Larionov will get much more than 10 years. However, it was impossible not to notice during the meeting of the tanker that the captain was still cheerful, fit, and energetic as before. Here it is, naval hardening, the habit of sailors to keep themselves in shape.
Now (and maybe, fortunately) there are no such long and exhausting morally and physically combat services. Now there are no Indian or Mediterranean squadrons. But in last years Russia's naval presence in the World Ocean is noticeably increasing. Evidence of this is the combat services of ships and vessels of the Black Sea Fleet. Including the flagship of the auxiliary fleet.
First as a first mate, and since October 2006 as a captain, Valery Larionov on the Ivan Bubnov completed 8 combat services. This one has been one of the longest. Moreover, some refueling had to be carried out in difficult weather conditions. But this did not prevent the transfer of the necessary cargoes to warships, and above all thanks to the high professionalism of the tanker's sailors. And they, cargoes, were transferred 12.525 tons.
If we talk about the command staff of the tanker, then all of its management are senior reserve officers and retired. So, the senior assistant to the captain Sergey Robertovich Chekhlov - captain of the 2nd rank, served on the cruiser "Zhdanov". In office since October 2006. Assistant captain for work with personnel Nikolai Nikolaevich Zhebrak - captain of the 1st rank, in the past commander of a brigade of auxiliary vessels, in office since March 1998. He has no experience in combat services on a tanker. The ship's chief engineer, Ero Matveyevich Saukonen, is also a captain of the 1st rank and has also been in office since March 1998. He has the richest experience in operating the material part in a long voyage. All his life he was a mechanic. With the rank of captain of the 1st rank, he was responsible for the entire vast electromechanical economy of the auxiliary fleet of the Black Sea Fleet. Top notch professional.
I must say that the orders of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, the chief of the logistics of the fleet, and others officials, including the captain of the tanker, all officers and ratings of the Ivan Bubnov were awarded awards. Indeed, the crew of the advanced tanker, including the seconded personnel, worked as a single coordinated mechanism.
Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Alexander Kletskov congratulated the crew of the tanker on a safe return home. He expressed gratitude to all the participants of the campaign, who, despite the difficult climatic conditions and stormy weather, honorably coped with the task set by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. And he also fulfilled a pleasant mission with pleasure: he handed command staff tanker and the most distinguished members of the crew, as well as the marines who made up the anti-terrorist group, badges "225 years of the Black Sea Fleet".
I had a chance to break through the campaign and through a strong storm caused by a cyclone, which could not be bypassed. At one point off the coast of Nicaragua, the Marines had to open warning fire so as not to endanger the tanker from a maneuvering target. The commander of the anti-terrorist group, Captain Oleg Dmitrochenko, and his subordinates worked professionally. You can’t tell about all the details and nuances in one material.
A little later, when the rally ended, customs and border guards finished their work, and the sailors talked to their wives and children, I asked the captain to name those who made the greatest contribution to the success of the four-month ocean voyage. From the command staff, except for those named above, the captain singled out second assistant Igor Ambrosiev, who carried out the issuance of all cargoes to warships, head of the radio station Alexander Khrapin, whose subordinates ensured stable and reliable communication with both the command post of the Northern Fleet and the Central Command Center Navy, electromechanic Vitaly Averin, refrigerant mechanic Vasily Pototsky, who provided the necessary temperature conditions for storage, and hence the safety of products, ship's doctor Viktor Sedunov, who happened to prove himself in several areas of medicine at once.
Of the rank and file, the captain first of all noted the helmsman Andrey Alymov, who extremely accurately executes all commands and understands the captain perfectly. It is with him that Larionov leaves and enters the main base of the fleet, foreign ports. Praise was also addressed to senior sailor Alexander Sokolov, senior minder Sergey Karelov, pump drivers (Donkermans) Vladimir Korshak and Konstantin Ivanov, senior engineer Anatoly Furmanchuk, senior boiler engineer Anatoly Derevianko, senior electrician Verginijus Shpakauskas, refrigerant engineer Andrey Starikov, minder and electrician 1 1st class Anatoly Berdyshev and Valentin Onuchin, the ship's cook Tatiana Nadich and the galley maid - veteran of the ship Svetlana Voronina.
"Ivan Bubnov" is not young. It was built in 1975 in Leningrad at the Baltic Shipyard and is designed to provide comprehensive support for ships and vessels at sea. The large offshore tanker is 162 meters long, and with a width of 21 meters, it has a displacement of 18,280 tons. Seaworthiness of the tanker is not limited. The autonomy of the vessel is 90 days. On July 19, 1975, the flag was raised on the ship. And since then, he has made many hundreds of refueling at sea, dozens of times rounded the “ball” along the equator. In one of the campaigns, I happened to make a report from the boards of the Kyiv and Ivan Bubnov aircraft carriers, which simultaneously refueled three warships of the Northern Fleet in a traverse-wake way. A picture from that historic gas station taken by Leonid Yakutin later adorned not only many publications, but also the offices of high officials, embodying the power of the Russian fleet.
The tanker is not young, but even at the age of 34 it is strong and strong. Because it was built to last in the Soviet Union, the maritime cradle of Russia. He is strong in the professionalism and training of the crew, where casual and weak people do not linger. According to the results of fulfilling the tasks of a long voyage, technical and repair training in 2006 and 2008, the Ivan Bubnov took first place in the formation.
Speaking to the crew, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet directed the sailors to new campaigns, new tasks. And it was clear that on the "Ivan Bubnov" they did not expect anything else.
