Vietnam People's Navy Submarine 182–Hà Nội is a Kilo-class submarine of the Vietnam People's Navy. Submarine 182-Hà Nội is a diesel-electric Kilo-class submarine of the 636 Varshavyanka type built by Russia. It is the first of six Kilo-class submarines that Vietnam ordered in 2009. The vessel is part of the 189th Submarine Brigade and is based at Cam Ranh port.
Construction
During Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng’s visit to Russia in December 2009, Vietnam placed an order for six 636 Varshavyanka-class (NATO designation: Kilo-class) submarines, which included crew training, equipment, and weaponry.
The submarine was laid down on August 25, 2010, at the Admiralty Shipyard (in Saint Petersburg, Russia).[2]
On August 28, 2012, the official launching ceremony took place at the Admiralty Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, northern Russia.[3]
Sea trials
In early December 2012, the Hà Nội submarine sailed out to sea for the first time, officially beginning its factory trial phase. The vessel conducted sea trials near the port of Svetly in the Kaliningrad region.[4]
On May 13, 2013, Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng visited the testing site to encourage and speak with the crew, as well as to inspect the progress of the trials of this modern submarine.[5][6]
By early June 2013, the submarine's trials had been completed.
Delivery
On November 7, 2013, the submarine was handed over and loaded onto the Dutch heavy-lift ship Rolldock Sea on November 18, 2013, for transport to Vietnam. The journey took the submarine from the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa via the Cape of Good Hope, into the Indian Ocean, and through the Strait of Malacca.[7]
On December 28, 2013, the Rolldock Sea carrying the Hà Nội submarine docked at the Port of Singapore to refuel. It then departed the same day, heading directly for Vietnam.
On January 3, 2014, the Hà Nội arrived at Cam Ranh military port..[8][9][10]
