Book-photo chronicle: "Legendary BOD" Ferocious "DKBF 1971-1974".

Chapter 760 BOD "Fierce". Warhead communications (BCh-4). 11/15/1972.

Photo illustration from the archive of Yuri Vasilievich Kazyonnov (radio telegraph operator of the warhead-ch BPC "Svirepy", service period 11/16/1970 - November 1973):

Early spring 1972. Excursion of the personnel of the warhead-1 and warhead-4 to Kaliningrad, to the ruined Cathedral to the grave of E. Kant.

Top row from left to right: Alexander Suvorov - helmsman of BCh-1, Yuri Kazyonnov - radiotelegrapher of BCh-4, Ivan Kryuchkov - signalman of BCh-4, Boris Anosov - radiotelegrapher of BCh-4; bottom row from left to right: Nikolai Surusov - BCH-4 radiotelegrapher, Alexander Turko (Vladimir Timoshenko?) - BCH-4 c / o signalmen, Lieutenant Andrey Stepanovich Drobot - BCH-4 commander, Alexander Chervyakov - BCH-4 radiotelegrapher, Alexander Pribylov - mechanic TF ZAS, Grigory Bulat - Art. sailor, c / o electricians navigational BCH-1, Viktor Petchenko - radiotelegrapher BCH-4, Alevtin Klykov - radiotelegrapher BCH-4.

In the previous one:

The author was familiar with almost all the midshipmen of the BC-3, communicated in the service and on the topics of political studies, but friendly communication developed only with some of the midshipmen-Romanians - Anatoly Dvorsky (formally replaced me as the Komsomol organizer of the ship), Vladimir Sechko and Mikhail Lyubonko, with which we happened to again organize the "baptism" of the BOD "Svirepy" ...

However, due to the natural connection of the signalmen-observers with the helmsmen-navigators (BCh-1) and in connection with the fact that we "lodged" in the same cockpit with the signalmen, the author, of course, was more friends with the sailors and foremen of the communications combat unit (BCh-4) .

The combat communications unit (BC-4) is "an organizational unit of the ship's crew, which is in charge of the technical means of communication designed to ensure the uninterrupted transmission and receipt of information." Previously, the BCH-4 had a different name - "combat unit for surveillance and communications."

The communications combat unit (BC-4) is designed to provide the ship with uninterrupted external communications with the command, interacting ships and units, for receiving alerts and transmitting reports, as well as organizing interference with the operation of enemy communications. The personnel of the BS-4 (radio telegraph operators, signalmen, radio masters, etc.) maintain radio and radio relay communications, wire, visual and other communications.

Best of all, professionally and thoroughly accurately about the combat unit of communications of the BOD "Svirepy" was told in the book "Svirepy" on guard of the Fatherland "by its first commander, captain of the 2nd rank in the reserve Andrey Stepanovich Drobot (period of service on the BOD" Svirepy "- February 1972 - August 1977).

BOD "Svirepy", like all ships of project 1135 of the "Petrel" type, was equipped with the most modern means of communication, among which were:
four radio transmitters - HF range R-652 "Pike", R-654 "Perch" - 2 and MW range R-653 "Shkval";
nine radio receivers - HF range R-678 "Cowberry" - 5, R-675 "Onyx" - 1, all-wave - R-677 "Whirlwind" - 1 and "Volna-K" - 1;
radio stations: VHF range - R-619 "Graphite" - 4, R-105 - 2, R-770 "Triton" - 1, decimeter range R-618 - 1;
signalman's radio station R-622 "Kit";
sound underwater communication station MG-26;
special communications equipment - 9 units (SLH-2, BP-2, TF-4, SBD-1);
ultra-high-speed communication equipment (SBD) - 2 units (R-062 "Speed", R-758 "Shark"); facsimile equipment "Ladoga" - 1;
switch of means of communication of the relay type "Distance";
loud-speaking ship communication "Larch";
two searchlights for visual (light) communication PMS-45, lighting devices - MSNP-125 and MSNP-250 (total number 4 pcs);
signal and gate lights, a set of signal flags, signal flags, lanterns and signal rockets.

To monitor the surface and air situation on the BOD "Svirepy" there were sets of marine binoculars, as well as two binocular periscopic sights VBP-451M, installed in the wheelhouse of the ship on the left and right sides.

These sights had a complex device saturated with light filters, devices and mechanisms, which made it possible to observe the situation at any time of the day. I used our VBP-451M sights to photograph the ships of the “probable enemy” through their eyepieces, and once I was lucky to photograph a NATO destroyer that went on exercises in the coastal waters of the North Sea, which, in violation of the international treaties of the USSR and NATO on the Baltic Sea, had anti-ship missile weapons …

BOD "Svirepy" had 5 combat radio communication posts: a receiving radio center, a transmitting radio center, a direct-printing telegraph classified communication post, a classified telephone communication post and a broadcast radio room. In addition, the ship was retrofitted with a secret auditory communication post and a radio relay communication post.

One of the combat posts of the radio communication BCH-4 BOD "Svirepy" was located next to the navigational cabin in the GKP (main command post) and I often talked with the radio operators who were on duty here, listened to and recorded weather data, messages, just listened to music in moments of calm. Sometimes we stealthily listened to the "enemy voices" of Radio Liberty and Voice of America to get alternative news...

One day in the summer of 1973 (after the arrival of a new replenishment), our ubiquitous political officer, captain 3rd rank D.V. Borodavkin, found on the table in the radio center a thick multi-page notebook forgotten by someone, in which the radio frequencies of all the “enemy” radio stations broadcasting news and propaganda against the USSR were recorded in small beaded and neat handwriting ...

The scandal and "disassembly", the investigation and the "search" on the ship because of this "spy notebook" were grandiose. Dmitry Vasilyevich Borodavkin was very proud of the fact that he was able to "reveal enemy anti-Soviet activities on a warship." Perhaps that is why, before the first BS (combat service), a wonderful, handsome and strong sailor of German origin with an unusual surname Rice was decommissioned from the ship ...

Yes, communication on a warship has always and at all times been the most important and most secret matter, because: “He who knows wins”, “He who is warned is armed”, “Loss of communication - loss of control”, “Without communication and there is no victory”, “If you know, then you win”. That is why it is very important to receive and transmit a message on time on a ship and in a sea combat campaign, and also to prevent the enemy from intercepting and deciphering your message, information ...

Of all the combat posts of the BCH-4 BOD "Svirepy", I had a chance to visit only two - at the radio center in the GKP and in the broadcast radio room. Other sailors, midshipmen and officers, except for the sailors and the commander of the BCH-4, as well as the commander of the ship, the political officer and specialists of the Union of Right Forces, in general, for the entire time of their service, it was impossible and impossible to even glance at the combat posts of the combat communications unit (BCH-4), and this right…

A ship without communication with command posts, with other warships, submarines and our aircraft on the high seas becomes blind, deaf, dumb and ... helpless. A ship without communication and control can only fulfill its combat mission with honor, independently detect the enemy, engage him in battle, inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible, and having exhausted his combat resources, survive, returning to his native shore. So often it was during the Great Patriotic War with submariners ...

Project 1135 ships of the Burevestnik type were equipped with several communication systems that provide reliable communication simultaneously over several radio channels. At the same time, communication was protected from interference and listening, ultra-fast or normal (in real time). So we have never, under any environmental conditions, been left without communication, which means without control.

True, communication is not always clear, because the transmission of messages through any type and form of communication is always a game of “misunderstanding” (message interpretation). Here are the classic anecdotes of signalmen BC-4:

Radio operators! Request wiring to the port of Toros, the officer of the watch requests.
- Toros is in touch; knows nothing about vodka, drinks only port wine! radio operators report.

Signalmen's mottos: "The louder you shout, the farther you can hear", "Avoid casual communication", "For communication without marriage!".

What could be due to the distortion of information when receiving and transmitting communications over communication is well illustrated by such a case from the combat practice of the crew of the BOD "Svirepy" ...

One day in the summer of 1973, while working out the course tasks "K-1" and "K-2", one of the combat posts of the BCH-2 air defense system "Osa-M" received a telephone message, due to which we were unable to complete the combat training task in time . The midshipman, who received this message by phone, swore and swore that they called from the GKP, but did not introduce themselves, and he did not recognize the speaker by his voice ...

The "showdown" of this unusual case was very serious, thorough, long. Almost everyone directly or indirectly involved or possibly (probably) involved in this in-ship telephone message was interviewed, the fact of which was confirmed by all the sailors and foremen who were with that unfortunate midshipman at the combat post.

As a result, an order was issued not only by the commander of the ship, but also by the commander of the missile ship division, forbidding to continue talking on the phone or on the GCS (loud-speaking communication) without prior introduction of the interlocutors, and also obliging to record all messages on the multi-channel tape recorder during training and combat alerts.

Since then, each of the sailors, foremen, midshipmen and officers of the BOD "Svirepy" always said, for example, during negotiations by means of communication: "This is sailor Suvorov" or "I'm listening, sailor Suvorov" (followed by some message).

Tape recording of conversations on intra-ship communications guaranteed the accuracy and fairness of the subsequent "showdown" or investigation, in the event of any "state of emergency". Such a system of intra-ship negotiations taught the entire crew of the BOD "Svirepy" brevity and clarity, accuracy and rigor in the transfer of information and messages to each other, contributed to the improvement of military discipline, ensuring the safety of the ship and its combat effectiveness.

The only person on the BOD "Svirepy" who did not introduce himself in on-board telephone conversations, but immediately said what he needed, was the ship's commander, Captain 3rd Rank Evgeny Petrovich Nazarov. He used to call me at the “lenkayuta” and briefly say: “Come to me” and I always angrily doubted whether the commander was calling or one of my friends was joking like that ...

Replaced D.V. Borodavkin as a political officer, Senior Lieutenant A.V. Merzlyakov also tried to call me at Lenkayuta and not introduce himself, but I invariably asked him on the phone: “Who is calling?” and if he did not answer, as was the order of the ship's commander, then I hung up the phone. Alexander Vasilyevich was furious, he ran to the “lenkayuta”, yelled at me, but I showed him the order and he, gritting his teeth, was forced to obey. What is due to Jupiter is not due to other "bulls" ...

I was categorically a supporter of strictness in matters of ensuring the reliability and accuracy of communication, because all the troubles in life come from misunderstanding, from misinterpretation of messages, signs, and information. Therefore, it is correct when communications on ships of the Navy are a branch of military service that is closed to the uninitiated and who do not have special permission.

Even in the BS-4 itself, each sailor, foreman or midshipman has the right to access only to his combat post, to his secret journals and documents. Only the commander of the ship and the deputy commander of the ship for the political part have the right to visit all combat posts of the communications combat unit (BCh-4) (and then only in cases specified by the charter). The rest communicate with signalmen at their combat posts only through special windows in waterproof and armored doors, which are locked with special complex cipher locks.

Due to the closeness of the service and the official activities of signalmen sailors, they are often called "clean", hinting that they, like intellectuals, do nothing but listen to the air, chat on microphones and, like woodpeckers, knock with their telegraph keys or encryption keys. typewriters.

The only BC-4 signalmen whose work is visible to everyone are signalmen, who, on the contrary, enjoy respect and recognition from everyone, because they really, in front of everyone, wave flags, “knock” with lights, signal with signal flags and are not in cozy warm combat posts, and outside, always on its signal bridge of the central superstructure along the sides of the ship.

In fact, the BCH-4 BOD "Svirepy" provided reliable auditory telephone, telegraph, direct-printing and ultra-high-speed communication in open and secret mode, communication "with the coast" from anywhere in the oceans in all ranges.

The receiving radio center was located in the central superstructure (GKP); the transmitting communication post is on the main deck. Portable radio stations with autonomous power sources provided communication from a ship's boat and boat.

The means of physical issuance of communication signals were short-wave whip antennas of the AR-6, AR-10 type, VHF antennas and the Luch inclined antenna, small and large signal searchlights, signal and clot lights, as well as a set of signal flags and flags.

I really hope that my brother friends, signalers and radio operators, radiotelegraphers and SPS specialists will supplement me and tell a lot of interesting things about the combat unit of communications, share details and tell stories about signalmen and signalmen-observers.

The first commander of the BCH-4 BPC "Svirepy" was Lieutenant Andrey Stepanovich Drobot (February 1972 - August 1977), author and compiler of the book "Svirepy" on guard of the Fatherland.

The first foreman of the BC-4 radiotelegraph team was midshipman Vladimir Nikolaevich Sergeev (September 1972 - August 1977). He will once again return to the crew of the BOD "Svirepy" in the period November 1981 - February 1982.

In the previous one:

Almost all the personnel of the sailors and foremen of the BCH-4 BOD "Svirepy" of the period 1972-1974 were my friends in the service.

This cannot be said about the sailors of the electromechanical warhead - BCH-5 BOD "Svirepy", because these electricians, mechanics, mechanics, turbinists, machinists and other "masloups", as they are traditionally called in the navy, made up a separate closed team in the crew of the ship ( caste) with its own laws-rules of life and service, wayward disposition and temper...

The electromechanical warhead (BC-5) is “an organizational unit of the ship’s crew, which is in charge of the technical means of the main power plant (MP), the electric power system, auxiliary mechanisms, as well as the means of combating the survivability of the ship.”

The electromechanical warhead (BC-5) is the largest warhead of the ship in terms of numbers, consisting of several teams and departments: turbo-engine (TMG), electrical engineering (ETG) and bilge-boiler room (TKG).

The electromechanical warhead (BC-5) is the life, vital activity, energy and movement of the ship, without the warhead-5 the ship is motionless, which means it’s just a useless target. The commanders and personnel of the BS-5 “ensure the maneuvers of the ship in any mode of movement, stability and survivability, unsinkability, explosion and fire safety, uninterrupted supply of electricity and compressed air, cooling and heating, supply of fresh and sea water, the functioning of all ship life support systems, household systems and devices, elimination of combat and emergency damage, daily and marching repair work, carrying out all types of factory repairs and docking of the ship, diving operations, the use of ship's floating facilities and much, much more.

The "heart" of a warship is its main power plant (GEM). On the BOD "Svirepy" pr.1135 of the "Petrel" type (as well as on all other ships pr.1135) a gas turbine twin-shaft, reversible power plant was installed - GGTZA type M-7. One main (afterburner) turbine with a capacity of 18,000 hp worked for each shaft. and one 6000 hp main turbine. The afterburning turbines were connected to the shaft lines through tire-pneumatic couplings.

The marching gear attachment kinematically connected the gearboxes of the marching turbines and allowed any one marching turbine to operate on both propeller shafts of the ship, while the efficiency of the power plant increased by 25%. The total power of the power plant BOD pr.1135 is 48,000 hp.

The main and main turbines of the power plant were reversible. The reverse rotation of the propellers was provided by a reversible power (free) turbine of the GTE propeller.

The power plant was controlled by pneumatic electric drives of the Bora-Storm system. The start-up time of the power plant turbines from a cold state is within three minutes. The total fuel supply on the ship is 450 tons, but it was possible to have fuel “in overload” (550 tons).

Propellers of the ship pr.1135 - four-bladed, low-noise, variable pitch, with a fairing. The weight of each is 7650 kg, diameter is 3.5 m. The number of revolutions of the propeller shaft is 320 rpm. These propellers turned out to be the most efficient in any operating mode of the power plant.

The ship's electrical power system consisted of five diesel generators with a capacity of 500 kW each, and generated three-phase alternating current with a voltage of 380 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. Two autonomous power plants with remote control "Angara" provided a reliable supply of electricity through the system of ShchRO, ShchO and ShchV.

The main mechanisms and power plants of the power plant were located in three adjacent compartments in the middle part of the ship's hull: the main turbines were in two adjacent compartments, the bow engine room (NCM) and the aft engine room (KMO), the gas ducts of all the power plant turbines went out into one chimney.

In order to reduce the physical fields of the ship and the level of interference with the work of the ship's GAS (hydroacoustic stations), a two-stage depreciation of the main mechanisms, vibration-damping coatings were created, and the Shroud bubble cloud system was installed. Thus, the ships of Project 1135 had a relatively low level of acoustic field and "were the quietest surface ships of the Soviet Navy."

Three MXM-180 refrigerators ensured the operation of refrigerators in which meat and other products were stored, as well as the cooling of other devices and equipment. On the sides of the ship, project 1135, there were automatic roll dampers of the UKA-1135 type retractable inside the hull; wave", as well as the effectiveness of the use of ship weapons. A water fire extinguishing system, an OKhT chemical system of the ZhS-52 brand and a set of fire-fighting equipment ensured the fire safety of the ship.

The electromechanical warhead (BC-5) is, as it were, a “state within a state”: the commander of the ship, of course, is the main person on the ship, but inside the ship (“in the car”) the main one is the commander of the BC-5 or “grandfather”, as respectfully and traditionally called the commander of the electromechanical warhead. The fact is that the personnel of the BS-5 is in the service and on watch throughout the existence of the ship (without interruptions).

The BC-5 commander is the chief specialist in the crew, a person on whose talent, hard work, knowledge and experience literally everything depends, especially the survivability of the ship at sea. According to the ship's charter, the commander of the ship and the commander of the BCH-5 should not leave the ship at the same time. The commander of the ship, only according to the reports of the commander of the BS-5, makes decisions on the struggle for survivability in case of combat or emergency damage, up to the moment the personnel leave the sinking ship.

Everyone on the ship entrusts their lives and health to the commander and personnel of the BS-5, just as the commander and personnel of the BS-5 entrust their lives and health to those who must effectively manage the ship and use ship weapons. That is why the crew of a warship is one single entity, one team, one family of naval brothers ...

And yet, few of the officers, midshipmen, foremen and sailors of other combat units (BCH-1, BCH-2, BCH-3, BCH-4, RTS and other services and teams) knew what was happening or were in the farm of "grandfather ”,“ starmekh ”(senior mechanic), commander of the electromechanical unit (BCh-5). Everyone was secretly satisfied with the fact that behind the main waterproof and explosion-proof door leading to the PES (ship energy survivability post) there is someone who provides us all with heat, light, air, energy, food, coolness, water and cleanliness in the premises and cockpits of the ship .

Personally, I still shudder at the thought that I would have to serve not as a helmsman in the navigation and navigational cabins of a warship, but somewhere in the insides of the ship next to hot and dangerous machines and mechanisms ...

I was lucky, because in my service and my combat duties I could see and hear with my eyes, ears and all the senses everything that happened on the ship, on the navigation bridge and in the environment around us. "maslopups" (as the Navy traditionally calls everyone who serves in an electromechanical warhead - BCh-5) are deprived of this opportunity, their lot is, at best, instrument dials, buttons and knobs of control panels, and in the worst case, working parts of machines and mechanisms.

Machines and mechanisms, as a rule, buzz, rattle, roar, ring, make noise, radiate heat and machine smells, suffocating fumes of oil, grease and paint. The temperature difference around the working machines and mechanisms and the cooling air from the supply and exhaust ventilation, as a rule, generate increased humidity, dampness, or vice versa, dryness in the premises.

The human body naturally and inevitably reacts to all changes in the environment and also “works” and radiates like working machines and mechanisms, as a result, a domestic or working atmosphere of human life is added to the machine atmosphere. It is very difficult to get used to this and get used to such conditions ...

Several times I happened to visit the most inaccessible places in the economy of the electromechanical warhead (BCh-5) of the BOD "Svirepy" - in the corridors of the propeller shafts, when the sailors, foremen and midshipmen of the BCh-5 heroically eliminated an emergency oil leak on the propeller shaft seals, in the PJ ( ship's energy survivability post) and in the double-bottom space, in fuel tanks under the floorboards, when they were cleaned with rubber scrapers and rags from thickened solar mucus.

In all these cases, I was in charge of BC-5 on writing notes in the ship's wall newspaper, in combat lightning sheets about the heroism of sailors and foremen, midshipmen and officers of BC-5, about the conditions of their difficult service and work. In addition, as the Komsomol organizer of the ship, I myself went down under the floorboards and climbed in the cramped labyrinth of bulkheads of fuel tanks in the double-bottom space, in order to personally see the working conditions of the young sailors-newbies BCH-5 ...

The labor rate of one half-hour "immersion" under payolas in fuel tanks is a bucket of solar mucus, collected with bare hands with a rubber scraper and a piece of an old sailor's vest. At the same time, you need to squeeze into the oval holes in the bulkheads of the double-bottom space, drag along the cable and the lamp with an explosion-proof cap, the supply and exhaust ventilation hose, a bucket of solar mucus and tools.

After a few minutes of work in a thick atmosphere saturated with diesel vapor, you no longer feel the deadly cold of the steel bottom of the ship, you forget about everything in the world, except for the wild panic fear of being left here forever alone. At the same time, the pranksters from BC-5, checking you “for lice”, turn off the lights for a while and turn off the ventilation, and you remain in this cold, smelly, wet and terribly cramped space in absolute darkness and silence, like in a grave ...

When, as the Komsomol organizer of the ship, the BCH-5 gods nevertheless obeyed and “launched” under the payolas, in violation of the rules, they “quietly” recalled their young salag sailors who worked in neighboring compartments. In the excitement of an unusual activity of “scraping” solar mucus from the bare metal of the payol, I did not notice that I was left alone, but when the light and ventilation went out, I realized that I had a verification test ahead of me, so I stubbornly, even closing my eyes to be sure, continued on touch collect that cold smelly slime.

It was necessary to clean the fuel tanks so that the entire metal surface was perfectly clean and dry, without a hint of any solar or oil residue, so first it was necessary to collect the mucus with a rubber scraper, then collect it in a bucket with a wet rag, and then with a dry and clean rag wipe everything clean.

The quality of the work of the "cleaners" of fuel tanks was checked very simply - the foreman-year-old BCH-5 personally climbed under the payolas in a sailor's robe, climbed through the bulkhead holes, and if the robe became oily and dirty, then the young cleaner-cleaner had to clean everything again "to a shine ", and then also wash the robe of a year ...

In absolute darkness, gritting my teeth from cold and fear, from resentment and anger, I checked the quality of my work by running my palm over the metal: if the palm didn’t slip, but “creaked”, rubbed against the metal, then it’s dry here and you can move to another place .

I was “rescued” by one of the midshipmen of the BC-5, who accidentally or intentionally (I don’t know) looked into the place where the DMBovsky years from the BC-5 were working out their DMB work. The midshipman sharply and loudly shouted into the darkness of the double-bottom space: “Is there anyone here?”, To which I answered with wild joy, but also rudely and loudly: “There is!”.

Who! yelled the midshipman (in my opinion, it was the foreman of the bilge and boiler team, midshipman Leonid Vasilyevich Salov).

Sailor Suvorov! I replied.

What are you doing there?! the midshipman yelled in a different tone. - Get out immediately!

With great difficulty, crouching "in three deaths", barely moving his stiff legs and arms, crying softly from pain and fear, dragging wet solar rags behind him, stuffed into a special canvas sack-bag and a tin rectangular sawn-off shotgun (home-made bucket), half-filled with solar mucus, gently pushing it all through the holes in the bulkheads and squeezing through them myself, I crawled with great joy to this saving voice, which now seemed to me “angelic”.

The bright light of the explosion-proof carrier flashed, ventilation and life began to work, confidence and hope returned to me again ...

Leave everything! - the midshipman BCh-5 ordered me. “Drop the sawn-off shotgun and the bag of rags. Get out yourself. They are looking for you. Urgently to the political officer.

I crawled out from under the payol, as if I was born again into God's world. The eyes squinted from the bright light, the nostrils greedily captured the fragrant, but so pleasant after the payol air, and the brain again habitually orientated itself in space and rejoiced at the familiar pictures.

The foremen and sailors-year-olds of the BC-5 pretended not to know anything and did not know that Suvorov remained under the payols and other sailors, bowing their heads, obediently assented to them that they were all sure that there was no one under the payols No…

Then I languidly listened to the political officer's angry rebuke, and after a while, also languidly and thoughtfully told him what I was doing in the bottom space and what I felt at the same time. An hour and a half later, after, on the orders of the political officer, I was allowed into the shower room and I was able to wash off the sticky solar sweat and get rid of the terrible terrible smell, in the "lenkayut" I told about my feelings to my friends-year-olds and thus DMBovsky years from BC-5, which gave me such a test.

I have already told about my other “adventure” in the corridors of propeller shafts and about the heroism of the BC-5 sailors in one of my early short stories ...

My third "immersion into the world of BC-5" took place with a visit to the ship's energy survivability post (PEZH), where I took photos for the ship's wall newspaper and a photo for memory of the BC-5 commander, DMBovsky years and everyone who this time was on duty in the PEZh .

As you can see, these impressions about the electromechanical warhead (BCh-5) were enough for me for the rest of my life ...

True, the DMBovskie BC-5 gods once again invited me to their place “under the payolas” and this time they (apparently making amends for their guilt and my offense) showed me their “lair” - the skerry of the warheads BC-5. This was also a space between the bottoms, but wider and freer, in which were several mattresses, overcoats instead of blankets, and knapsacks instead of pillows. There was already a stable light of emergency lights, almost silent supply and exhaust ventilation, stocks of bread, canned food and, possibly, more intoxicating, as well as a whole library of "missing" books from the ship's library.

Separately, in the BCh-5 skerry-den, on a bed of an old pea jacket, lay a “girlfriend” - a six-string guitar, on which the clumsy fingers of the “maslopups” intricately extracted a semblance of guitar sounds ...

I duly appreciated and accepted the trust of the DMB "maslopups" and played and sang several songs for them, ate hot stew with them and drank alcohol with them from a common "world" mug. After that, I gave the “maslopups” one of the portable photographic enlargers from the “Lenkayuta”, several packs of developer, fixer and photographic paper. This was the main thing that the DMB "maslopupy" BCh-5 wanted and "raked" from me.

I made this gift not out of fear of the Godkovsky threats of these guys, but because of the respect and insight that I experienced when I was in the "machine", in the economy of the electromechanical warhead, having experienced those conditions of service, work and life, in which these sailors are.

I testify and affirm that no other combat unit and service on the ship deserves more respect, recognition and honor than an electromechanical combat unit. I could not and cannot agree and recognize the right of "maslopups" to their "maslopups' anniversary", but I recognize the right to a specific working discipline and a system of relations of dominance of more experienced BC-5 specialists over less experienced specialists. It should be so, because the price of a mistake, inexperience, inattention and negligence in the explosive atmosphere of the BCh-5 electromechanical economy is an emergency, an accident, a fire, an explosion, smoke, gas contamination, flooding and, as a result, damage to health, death of people, ship and crew.

I have seen several times how selflessly and heroically the emergency parties-commands of the BCH-5 BOD "Svirepy" act and I affirm: they may not be as well-mannered and intelligent as the helmsmen, radio operators, SPS and RTS specialists, but they are reliable, disinterested and skillful rescuers , ready to sacrifice themselves, but save everyone and the ship.

The time will come, and in the next short story I will tell about such a case of saving the BOD "Svirepy" by our emergency batch of "maslopupov" BCh-5.

The first commander of the electromechanical warhead (BC-5) of the BOD "Svirepy" was Lieutenant Commander Valery Nikolaevich Silkin (March 1972 - March 1976). He was an extremely competent, knowledgeable specialist, who thoroughly knew the structure, equipment and premises of the ship, a real "chief engineer" and "grandfather", very authoritative and just as modest. In the book of A.S. Drobota "Fierce" on guard of the Fatherland "did not even find his photograph, as they say" from a personal file.

During my service at the Svirepy BOD, I always felt the invisible friendly and paternal support of Valery Nikolaevich Silkin, who rarely spoke openly for me (he didn’t like to talk a lot), but always invariably gave his authoritative voice for me and for my Komsomol proposals and initiatives . Especially Valery Nikolaevich liked our game in the naval KVN ...

The first commander of the BCH-5 bilge and boiler group was Lieutenant Yuri Evgenievich Samarin (1972-April 1974). From April 1974 to December 1975 - Lieutenant Yuri Vladimirovich Berdnikov.

The first commander of the electrical engineering group BCH-5 was Lieutenant Nikolai Stepanovich Fedosov (1972-1975), a very distinctive and authoritative officer and specialist.

The first commander of the BCH-5 turbo engine group was Lieutenant Sergei Nikolaevich Gusev (August 1972 - November 1977).

Foreman of the BC-5 turbo engine team, midshipman Leonid Vasilyevich Udalov (August 1972 - April 1976).

Technician of the electrical engineering group BCh-5, midshipman Nikolai Nilovich Tarkachev (March 1972 - January 1977). Foreman of the electrical team, midshipman Vasily Fedorovich Shishlin (September 1972 - December 1974).

Foremen of the bilge and boiler team, midshipman Leonid Vasilyevich Salov (August 1972 - January 1974). He was replaced by midshipman Stepan Grigoryevich Korolkov (1974-1977). By the way, Leonid Vasilievich Salov continued to serve for some time at the BOD "Svirepy" as a diving instructor.

I spoke in detail about other members of the personnel of the electromechanical combat unit (BCh-5) of the Fierce BOD in the previous and I will tell you more in subsequent short stories of this book, The Legendary BOD Fierce.
