Crimea: the fourth day of travel (part I)

The summary of the post: Sevastopol, a walk along the bays of Sevastopol.

The final day in Crimea pleased us with bright sunny weather. Today we will walk a little along Sevastopol and make a real sea excursion through the bays of the city.

01.

This is the view from the window of my room (261) hotel BEST WESTERN "Sevastopol" I watched this morning.

02.

Downstairs in the street I noticed a soda machine, but I did not reach it.

03.

It's time to be evicted from the hospitable BEST WESTERN "Sevastopol". Photo for memory: the blogger and the representatives of "Mosgortur".

04.

By the way, all four days together with us was Vanya. He visited us on all trips, visited all tours and never whined, although he was tired of all these endless crossings and events. The child is gold!

05.

We go for a walk on the morning Sevastopol. Embankment of Kornilov, Artillery Bay.

06.

Prospect Nakhimova, Sinopsky Descent (named in memory of the loud victory of the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet under the command of Vice-Admiral P.S. Nakhimov in November 1853 over the Turks in Sinop Bay).

07.

Sevastopol Academic Russian Drama Theater named after AV Lunacharsky.

12.

Institute of Marine Biological Research named after A.O.Kovalevsky. We'll look at it from the other side.

13.

Primorsky Boulevard, fountain.

14.

Monument to the Scuttled Ships. The monument was built in 1905 to the 50th anniversary of the First Defense of Sevastopol, during which Russian sailing ships were flooded, "to block the entrance of enemy ships to the raid and thereby save Sevastopol".

15.

Sevastopol is a city of Russian sailors.

16.

We go to the square Nakhimov. Reception of the President of the Russian Federation in Sevastopol.

17.

City hall of honor in 1952 built.

18.

Memorial of the heroic defense of Sevastopol in 1941-1942. Eternal flame.

19.

Alley of Cities-Heroes.

20.

21.

The monument to Admiral PS Nakhimov. It was not without its "resettlement and replacement". The monument to Nakhimov was first established in 1898. It was dismantled in 1928. In 1932 a monument to Lenin was erected on the pedestal. During the Great Patriotic War, the monument was destroyed and replaced by a bust of Lenin. But in 1959, Lenin's bust was dismantled and moved to another place, and Nakhimov was returned to the previous one.

22.

And now, according to plan, we have a walk along the Sevastopol bays. It will start from the Count's Wharf. The quay was originally built in order that the queen Catherine II in her dresses could go down to the water, take a boat and cross the South Bay. But this happened only once. But the Count Potemkin often came to see Fyodor Ushakov. And when a boat was sent for him, they said: "For the Count on the wharf." Hence the name of the wharf.

Together with us on a sea walk will go children from the children's health camp "Alcadar".

23.

We make our way to our pleasure boat. Yana notices a dangerous place.

24.

We leave, our walk begins along the Sevastopol bay.

25.

Children.

26.

Sevastopol Bay consists of 19 bays. Our walk starts from the South Bay of Sevastopol. I will show everything consistently: the ship is behind the ship. Let's start from the western shore of the Southern bay. I'm all in anticipation of abundant shippotting :) Never before did I come across such a variety of ships. Already visible: the hospital ship "Yenisei", the landing ship of the Ukrainian Navy "Konstantin Olshansky", the scout "Liman".

27.

It seems that the children begin to like a walk in the bays.

28.

We pass by a small anti-submarine ship class "Albatross". "IPC-49" "Alexandrovets". The ship is designed to detect, track and destroy enemy submarines. Crew: 89 people.

The numbers on the board are: 059 - this is the tactical number of the ship. Tactical number was assigned to the ship not for the whole lifetime, but changed. Until 1990, the Soviet Navy had a system in which every two years (in even-numbered years) the ships of all fleets changed their old tactical numbers to new ones: thus making it difficult to determine the exact number and identification of our ships by enemy reconnaissance. But in Russia, numbers on our ships are called airborne. Unlike the US Navy, where the numbers on the ships are on-board numbers and the whole life of the ship remains unchanged.

29.

Hospital ship "Yenisei". A real floating hospital. Here, even the operating rooms are arranged in such a way that during the rolling process the floor of the operating room and the operating table remain stationary. The team "Yenisei" fought against malaria in the Red Sea, revitalized children after the Chernobyl accident and participated in many other humanitarian missions around the world.

30.

The average reconnaissance ship "Priazovye". Crew: 220 people.

31.

Left in the photo: the medium reconnaissance ship "Liman" - the ship of the hydrographic service. The ship is equipped with radar, sonar and radio-reconnaissance equipment. Crew: 85 people. The ship does not carry arms.

32.

Floating hospital "Yenisei" and BDK "Konstantin Olshansky."

33.

The large amphibious ship "Konstantin Olshansky". Used to deliver and disembark infantry and armored vehicles to the enemy shore. The BDK can take up to 12 armored vehicles and up to 250 servicemen aboard.

34.

The nose of the "Yenisei".

35.

"VTN-73", "Yenisei", "Konstantin Olshansky" and "Priazovye" against the backdrop of the "Mine" wall (near which the destroyers and destroyers were traditionally moored, hence its name, the sailors who came to the shore discharge from the raids From the ships).

36.

Small offshore tanker "VTN-73". Load capacity: 1200 tons. Crew: 14 people.

37.

The marine tugboat MB-174.

38.

The small sea tanker Istra was built in July 1941 in Germany. In the tanker there are six enameled tanks, and during the Great Patriotic War the Germans exported Crimean wine to Germany. But our Soviet soldiers managed to repel the Germans from this tanker along with the contents.

"MB-23", "MB-174", "Istra", "Yenisei".

43.

Ship demagnetization "SR-137". After long sea trips from friction with water on the body, magnetic fields are formed, which adversely affect the operation of the ship's electronics. Also fuses of mines can trigger on strong magnetic fields. To prevent this from happening, this vessel is used (the magnetized ship is entangled with a wire from CP-137, and electric current is passed through it). Nearby there is a passenger boat "Psk-537". Team: 14 people, and passenger capacity: 100.

44.

Three ships of the Ukrainian Navy.

45.

"IPC-220" "Vladimirets". Small anti-submarine ship project 11451 cipher "Falcon". Armament: 76 mm artillery AK-176M, 1x6 30 mm artillery AK-630M, 1 PU of the SAM "Strela-3" (8 SAM), 2x4 400 mm torpedo tubes. Crew: 39 people. It develops speed up to 120 km/h.

46.
