Amur Shipbuilding Plant Joint Stock Company is the Komsomolsk-on-Amur shipyard in Russia's Far East associated with Soviet and Russian naval construction, including nuclear and diesel-electric submarines, surface combatants, and civil vessels. Its official materials describe a plant founded for national defense requirements, now operating as a multi-profile shipbuilding and marine-engineering enterprise within the United Shipbuilding Corporation orbit.
2 weaponsThe shipyard traces its industrial story to the early 1930s, when Soviet authorities chose the lower Amur region for a major Far Eastern shipbuilding base. Official history records the laying of the first plant shop in 1933, the first L-series submarines in 1935, the launch of the first submarine in 1936, and the plant's entry into Soviet shipbuilding-industry operation on 1 July 1936.
During the Cold War the yard became a major Pacific Fleet production site. GlobalSecurity describes Amur as a full-cycle facility for submarines and surface ships and lists Project 659 and 675 nuclear missile submarines, Victor III boats, and Project 971 Akula nuclear attack submarines among its products. The plant's own production page now emphasizes civil shipbuilding, marine engineering, metal structures, and oil-production equipment, while defense reporting connects the yard to current Project 22800 Karakurt small missile ship work.
GlobalSecurity identifies Amur as a yard for Project 971 Akula nuclear attack submarines, and the connected catalog record covers the class as a Soviet/Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine line.

Russian official company material is useful for identity, headquarters, facilities, and historical milestones, while independent defense references and government sanctions records help cross-check older naval production names and corporate linkage. Public schedules for Russian naval production can change, so specific vessel delivery or operational claims should remain on individual weapon records.
