Kirov Shipyard

Kirov Shipyard refers to the Khabarovsk shipbuilding yard on the Amur River, a Russian Far East naval and civil shipbuilding plant associated in open references with Soviet yard number 876 and later Joint Stock Company Khabarovsk Shipbuilding Yard. Its catalog relevance comes from small combatants and landing craft, especially Project 1124 Albatros anti-submarine ships built at Khabarovsk for Pacific Fleet service and Project 12061 Murena air-cushion landing craft.

The shipyard was established in the early postwar Soviet shipbuilding expansion and gives 29 June 1953 as its foundation date. Its official company history describes the plant as one of the largest shipbuilding yards in the Russian Far East, able to build ships of different classes and materials, while older defense-industry references describe a yard originally oriented toward surface vessels for the Pacific Fleet.

Public sources use several overlapping English names for the same industrial site, including Khabarovsk Shipbuilding Yard, Khabarovsk Shipbuilding Plant, and Khabarovsk Shipyard. Naval class references also preserve the older Kirov Shipyard label, which is why this manufacturer page keeps that canonical catalog name while documenting the Khabarovsk identity in aliases and source notes.
