Hiddensee Tarantul-class corvette . Originally a Soviet naval warship, the corvette was transferred first to the East German navy , then to the new unified German Navy , and ended her career in the United States as a non-commissioned naval ship. After decommissioning, she was later part of the Battleship Cove site at Fall River, Massachusetts as a museum ship , before being scrapped in 2023.
Ship history [ edit ]
The Tarantul I-class missile corvette was launched in 1984 at the Petrovsky Shipyard of Almaz Shipbuilding Company in Leningrad , Russian SFSR. She was commissioned in 1985 by the East German Volksmarine as Rudolf Egelhofer reunification of Germany in 1990, she was transferred to the German Navy and renamed Hiddensee .[1]
Hiddensee as a museum ship
After decommissioning in April 1991, she was transferred to the United States Navy . As USNS Hiddensee (185NS9201), the ship was extensively evaluated at the Naval Air Warfare Center at Solomons, Maryland , and used for naval exercises. Following naval budget cuts, the ship was removed from service in April 1996, and joined the Battleship Cove fleet on 14 June 1997.[2]
Battleship Cove could not look after her due to lack of funding. Her hull deteriorated until the decision was made to remove her from the collection. She was quietly towed off to be scrapped in Bridgeport, Connecticut in early October 2023.[3] [4] dry docking to repair. Chris Nardi, the Chief Operating Officer for Battleship Cove, also noted that "The Hiddensee, as designed by the Russian shipyard ... they were designed to be definitely disposable in terms of the way they were constructed", which also militated against trying to repair the vessel. In addition, two other vessels owned by the group, the submarine Lionfish Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. [5]
