The Ivan Rogov, or Project 1174 class "large landing ships" are a class of amphibious transports used by the Russian Navy. Originally a class of three ships built during the cold war.

In the 1970s, under the impulsion of Admiral Gorshkov, the Soviet Navy greatly expanded its amphibious warfare capability. The construction of the Ivan Rogov class ships was part of this effort. They were designed with a bow ramp for beach-landings, and a flooded well to launch amphibious transports or assault boats. This means they can serve either as LSTs or as LPDs.

This ship can carry 2,500 tons of cargo, and the typical load would consist of one battalion of 520 marines and 25 tanks. If no landing craft are carried then the extra space in the docking bay allows for the transport up to 53 tanks or 80 armoured personnel carriers.

In reserve since 2002, decommissioned in accordance with the order of Navy Commander № 078 from 18.12.2006. As of August 15, 2009 included in the list of boats the Russian Defense Ministry, to be implemented at the auctions .

  • I think this is incorrect. It does not look like an Ivan Rogov class vessel
