September 30, 2020. - Russia, Saint Petersburg. - The 'Georgy Kurbatov' minesweeper (Project 12700) is launched at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard. This mine countermeasures vessel of Project 12700 (Aleksandrit) was designed by Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau (a company of United Shipbuilding Corporation) for RF Navy. The ship of the new generation features the most advanced technology and naval architecture and marine engineering, the world's largest monolithic hull of fiber-glass plastic made by the vacuum infusion method. Monolithic hulls fabricated from glass-reinforced plastic feature higher strength and survivability compared to steel hulls. They also have lower mass and longer life cycle (over 30 years). The ship's anti-mine gear includes an unmanned boat to search and find mines without a single risk to people's life.
