La ceremonia de inauguración del dique seco de 40.000 toneladas, construido por una empresa china, tuvo lugar el 8 de marzo en la sede del astillero naval de Thanlyin, y buques de guerra y patrulleras de fabricación local se unieron a la flota.

La ceremonia de inauguración y puesta en servicio tuvo lugar en el taller de construcción de diques secos y el muelle naval de la sede del astillero naval de Thanlyin. Los buques que se incorporen a la flota operarán conjuntamente con el ejército a lo largo de los ríos Ayeyarwady y Chindwin, declaró el líder militar.

El general Min Aung Hlaing, líder militar, declaró: “Hoy celebraremos la inauguración de los dos primeros buques de guerra que se construirán en el astillero de 40.000 toneladas, así como la inauguración de la fragata Tatmadaw (Armada) (Thalun Min) y cuatro buques de guerra fluviales multipropósito, que también entrarán en servicio y prestarán servicio junto al ejército”.

El astillero, con una capacidad de 40.000 toneladas, se construyó en tres fases con ayuda china, y los dos primeros buques de guerra que se construyeron fueron buques antisubmarinos de la clase de 63 metros.

El astillero podrá construir buques de guerra de gran tamaño, así como un buque mercante de 40.000 toneladas o dos grandes buques de guerra simultáneamente, según declaró el líder militar.

La fragata Thalunmin (Rey Thalun F-19) , que entró en servicio el 8 de marzo, es el buque de guerra más grande en la historia de la armada y puede cubrir una distancia de 3.418 millas náuticas y navegar durante 279 horas en más de un mes, lo que supone una gran ayuda para la armada.

World’s Biggest Dry Dock Sinks Holding Russia’s Only Aircraft Carrier

By Tom Balmforth MOSCOW, Oct 30 (Reuters) – Russia’s only aircraft carrier was damaged while undergoing repairs in the north of the country after the floating dock holding it sank in the early hours of Tuesday and a crane crashed onto its deck, tearing a gash up to 5 meters wide.

The Admiral Kuznetsov has seen action in Russia’s military campaign in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad with its planes carrying out air strikes against rebel forces.

It was being overhauled on one of the world’s biggest floating docks in the icy waters of the Kola Bay near Murmansk close to where Russia’s Northern Fleet is based and was due to go back into service in 2021.

Maria Kovtun, Murmansk’s governor, said in a statement that a rescue operation had been launched and 71 people evacuated after the floating dock holding the ship had begun to sink.

The warship had been successfully extracted from the dock before it completely sank, she said.

Investigators, who said they had opened a criminal investigation into the incident that would look at whether safety rules had been violated, said one person was missing and four others were being treated for hypothermia after being plucked out of the water.

Alexei Rakhmanov, head of Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation, told the TASS news agency that the ship’s hull and deck had been damaged, although what he called the vessel’s vitally important parts had not been harmed.

“There is a jagged hole 4-5 meters wide,” Rakhmanov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

“It’s obvious that when a 70-tonne crane falls onto the deck, it’s possible that there could be such damage. We consider the damage to be insignificant.”

There are reports that there was some kind of accident at the 82 Ship Repair Plant with the Admiral Kuznetsov. Apparently, its PD-50 floating dock, sank suddenly while workers were on it, and caused two cranes to collapse. One worker is reported missing.https://t.co/zAhZ4Qydj4 pic.twitter.com/k35480iqI8

Yevgeny Gladyshev, a spokesman for the shipbuilding factory which operated the floating dock, told the RIA news agency that unspecified equipment had been damaged but that much of the deck had been spared because it had been removed during the refit.

The floating dock had been hit by a power outage which had caused its ballast tanks to fill up rapidly, prompting it to sink, the factory said.

The Admiral Kuznetsov gained notoriety in Britain when then Secretary of Defence Michael Fallon dubbed it the “ship of shame” in 2017 when it passed through waters close to the English coast on its way back from the Mediterranean belching black smoke.
