History

The construction of Academic Pashin was carried out under a state contract for the Russian Defence Ministry, signed in November 2013.[1] The ship was laid down on 26 May 2014, during a keel lying ceremony at the Nevsky Shipyard in Saint Petersburg. It was first scheduled for delivery by late 2016.[3]

On 18 March 2016, the ship's hull was rolled out of the construction hall, to start pre-finishing works before its launching on the water.[4] It was launched on 26 May 2016.[5]

On 17 May 2018, it has started first stage of its sea trials in the Ladoga Lake.[6] In September 2018, the ship arrived in Kronstadt, where it was to join the Russian Navy by the year end.[7][8]

In early 2019, the trials continued in the Baltic Sea, where the ship's interaction with deck helicopters was worked out. The Ka-27PS helicopters were delivering various cargoes onto the ship and back to shore.[9] Academic Pashin successfully completed the trials in late June 2019,[10] and was commissioned on 21 January 2020.[11]

In April 2020, Academic Pashin is spotted in the Channel off Cherbourg during the Suffren first sea trial.[12]

gollark: But not before THOUSANDS of programmers could have been using code containing the HORRORS of working exception handling.
gollark: They did change it, though.
gollark: I think their JSON thing actually had `recover` in it, which is basically... exception handling.
gollark: Its standard library ringbuffer thing actually uses `interface{}`, you know.
gollark: But *generally*, Go's attitude seems to be:- don't trust the programmer to do anything right but use magic all over the place internally- stop abstraction at all costs and make everything explicit- ignore all modern innovations in language design- bodge everything into being mostly right but not actually correct
