Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard
The Middle Neva Shipbuilding Plant (Russian: Средне-Невский судостроительный завод, romanized: Sredne-Nevskiy sudostroitelnyy zavod) was founded before the end of the 19th century in Saint Petersburg, Russia.It established a branch in Nikolaev in the early years of the 20th century to assemble ships which had been built in St. Petersburg and transported to the Black Sea.The yard probably dates back to 1911, when the Petersburg Metals Plant, then a builder of marine turbines, established a shipyard at Ust-Izhora to build destroyers.[2] Between the world wars the Ust-Izhora yard was limited to the construction of river barges.It was expanded into a major builder of minesweepers and other small combatants after World War II and built ships of the steel-hulled T-43, T-58, Yurka, and Natya classes in the 1950s and 1960s.
