Description
The Donbas Class (Project 304 Class) Ukrainian Command Ship is a former Soviet repair ship that was converted to a command ship in the Ukrainian Navy, Project 304 (NATO reporting name: Amur). The ship was built on Szczecin Shipyard in Poland in 1969 for the Soviet Navy and named PM-9. "PM" is a Russian abbreviation for a repair ship and literally means a floating repair shop. As a result of the distribution of the Black Sea Fleet, PM-9 was renamed to Krasnodon. In 2001, the ship was renamed the Donbas. During service in the Ukrainian Navy, the ship has repeatedly participated in international exercises, as well as in local military floating parades and cruises.
