landing ship being built for the Russian Navy
The Ivan Gren class, Russian designation Project 11711, is a class of large Landing Ship, Tank (LST) The class was to be composed of two vessels, Ivan Gren and Pyotr Morgunov, but later it was announced that the Russian Navy intends to acquire several more vessels of a modified design.
Design and construction
The vessels of the class have a displacement of 5,000–6,000 tons and are able to carry up to 13 main battle tanks or 36 armoured personnel carriers and 300 marines. The first ship of the class, Ivan Gren, was laid down on 23 December 2004. The hull of Ivan Gren was completed by the end of November 2010. On 9 October 2010 a contract to increase work on the vessel was signed. The ship was launched on 18 May 2012 and was scheduled to be delivered to the Russian Navy by 2014. Delivery of Ivan Gren was delayed until 2015 while the second ship of the class, Pyotr Morgunov, was laid down in October 2014. Ivan Gren started her sea trials in June 2016 in the Baltic Sea. According to Russian sources, the delaying of commissioning of the lead ship was due to several design faults that includes hull stability and engine problems.
On 3 May 2018, the lead ship of the class, Ivan Gren, successfully completed her sea trials held in the Baltic Sea.

Why this record matters

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4092217. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2010, 2012 and 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
