The Project 11711 large amphibious assault ship Pyotr Morgunov is planned to be floated out before the yearend, the newspaper of Russia’s Yantar Shipyard reported. "A major part of the equipment has already been mounted on the ship. Work to furnish the ship with systems and equipment is currently under way. We are expecting to receive steering engines and diesel generators by summer, which would be desirable if we want to
float out the vessel by the yearend," the newspaper quoted senior constructor Sergei Panfilov as saying.
