The blog continues a series of reports about the everyday life of Pacific Fleet psychologists. In the previous article, psychologist Diana GRISHINA, together with Evgenia Albertovna, dressed in firefighter combat clothing (BOP) and advanced to the fire site - the compartment of the training complex on the shore of Uliss Bay in Vladivostok.
Recently, Diana Vyacheslavovna underwent advanced training in Extreme Psychology within the walls of the Pacific State Medical University (TSMU) under the guidance of Ph.D. crazy. Sciences Lieutenant Colonel KADIROV Ruslan Vasitovich. It's time to put the acquired knowledge into practice - in an extreme situation of a ship's fire.
At one of the stages of the IV All-Army competition of specialists in the psychological work of the RF Armed Forces, which was held on the basis of the training complex of the submarine forces of the Northern Fleet in Gadzhiyevo, Tatyana CHURANOVA, Tatyana IGONINA and other psychologists prepared calculations for actions in the fire, but the psychologists themselves did not enter the compartment allowed.
They had to be content with watching what was happening through the window of the compartment, where the personnel of the nuclear-powered ship fought for survivability. In real conditions, the submarine uses the LOH fire extinguishing system(Boat volumetric chemical), where freon is used as a fire extinguisher. And here the main thing is to have time to put on a portable breathing apparatus (PDA) in time ...
On November 8, 2008, as part of the state acceptance of the K-152 Nerpa submarine, an unauthorized operation of the fire extinguishing system occurred on the decks of the second compartment. Freon concentration on average in the 2nd compartment was 300 times higher than the maximum allowable concentration. Some civilian specialists were wearing oxygen machines, but were not turned on. As a result, 20 people died(3 military personnel and 17 civilian specialists), 21 people received burns of the respiratory tract, suffocation and frostbite.
The chemical analysis of the fire extinguisher of the LOH system K-152 "Nerpa" was carried out in the laboratory of the Far Eastern State University. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the mixture consisted of freon type 114B2 only by 34.6%. 64.4% of the mixture was poisonous tetrachlorethylene. In case of spontaneous operation of the system, three LOH stations with a fake fire extinguisher were automatically used up per compartment. The compartment was filled with saturated vapors of the mixture, the aerosol droplet-liquid phase of this mixture, and that part of the mixture that could no longer evaporate or hang in the atmosphere in the form of fog and drizzle flowed into the hold along the bulkheads.
The operational documentation for the LOH system does not provide for anything of the kind. Pure freon is sprayed into the compartment in the form of an aerosol, which immediately evaporates at an elevated temperature, passes into the gaseous phase and in this form enters the combustion centers, interfering with the combustion process itself at the chemical level and acting as a flame retardant, anti-catalyst, flame retardant.
Freon does not displace oxygen and does not bind it in any way, contrary to common misconception. In a burning compartment, oxygen is consumed to maintain combustion. And if there is no fire, exactly as much oxygen will remain in the sealed compartment as it was before the freon was supplied, not a gram less. On the Nerpa, people inhaled both the vapors of the criminal mixture and the drop-liquid aerosol phase of heavy-boiling tetrachlorethylene.
Article 350 of the Navy's ship charter states: "Ship survivability is the ability of a ship to withstand combat and emergency damage, while restoring and maintaining its combat capability to the extent possible.
Organizational and technical measures should be constantly carried out on the ship:
to prevent the ingress of water into the compartments of the ship (inside the pressure hull);
on the occurrence of fires and explosions;
on the prevention of emergency situations with weapons and technical means;
to maintain the means of struggle for damage to use;
on the preparation of personnel for the struggle for the survivability of the ship.
Article 353 of the CU of the Navy. First discoverer outboard water ingress, explosion, fire, smoke or steam, emergency state of ammunition, increased concentration of explosive and toxic gases (harmful substances), is obliged to announce an emergency alarm by voice in the compartment (room). By any means of communication, he must immediately report the place and nature of the accident to the GCP or to the ship's duty officer (officer on duty), and if this is not possible, to the adjacent compartment (room), and take measures to eliminate the accident (damage).
Subsequent reports on the progress of damage control should go without requests or reminders from superiors. The ship's duty officer (officer on duty), having received a report on the accident, simultaneously with the call of the emergency alarm signal, is obliged to ANNOUNCE AN EMERGENCY ALARM BY VOICE on the ship's broadcast indicating the place and nature of the accident (damage).
No one has the right to leave the emergency compartment (room) on their own. The fight for survivability MUST be carried out by the ALL CREW of the ship, including those who are TEMPORARY on the ship. The struggle for the survivability of the ship in rooms not occupied by command posts and combat posts, as well as on the upper deck, is carried out by emergency parties (groups).
Those. if a civilian specialist-psychologist boarded a warship, then he does not have the right to leave the emergency compartment on his own and MUST fight for survivability together with the crew. In connection with the foregoing, it is logical for shipboard psychologists to study the Surface Ship Damage Control Manual (RBZH-NK) and take a course of training sessions at the UTK.
While we were leafing through the ship charter, psychologists began to put out the fire. As a result of a short circuit, the ship's power shield caught fire. The acrid, suffocating smell of burning rubber filled the room. And the first thing the psychologists did was de-energize the shield.
If the fragile Evgenia Albertovna skillfully used a fire hose, which wriggled in her hands from the applied pressure, and tried to knock her down, then Diana GRISHINA armed herself with an OVPM-8 fire extinguisher (air-foam sea fire extinguisher, volume foam solution8 liters). Previously, they put mash on ships.
Air-foam marine fire extinguisher OVPM-8 is designed to extinguish fires in the initial stage of their occurrence both indoors and outdoors on ships when burning oil products, rubber products, parts made of synthetic materials, alcohols, wood, electrical equipment under voltage up to 500V at distances not closer than 0.5 m from the foam generator.
Technical details:
The amount of foaming solution - 8 l
The amount of air-mechanical mixture - 500l;Foam ratio 70÷80
Foam jet length - 3÷4 m
Operating time 45÷55 sec.
Tank capacity - 9 l
Compressed air cylinder capacity - 0.4 l
Compressed air pressure in the cylinder - 100÷150 kgf/cm²
Mass of uncharged fire extinguisher - 5.6 kg
The mass of a charged fire extinguisher is 13.9 kg
Dimensions:
Length 220 mm Width 150 mm Height 670 mm
Foaming agent: "MORPEN"
The most unexpected thing for Diana Vyacheslavovna was that she could not turn the foam supply valve. The rubber glove of the fireman's overalls did not allow him to properly grasp the ill-fated valve and turn it. The fire flared up and became uncomfortable. What should be done in such cases? Dump!!!
It's good that experienced specialists turned out to be nearby, who provided the necessary psychological support to Diana GRISHINA and turned off the ill-fated valve. To celebrate, the satisfied Diana Vyacheslavovna poured foam over everything that was possible and left the emergency compartment with her head held high.
And then the briefings and training of the personnel of emergency parties began, where naval psychologists also inserted their weighty psychological word. I believe that the next stage of professional and job training should be the development of inclusion in the insulating gas mask IP-6 (not to be confused with a filtering one).
According to Diana GRISHINA, Elena ZAYTSEVA and other psychologists, they have become closer to the real professional problems of the personnel. No need to force personnel to run with a conditionally wounded on a stretcher, as they do in the Israeli army. It is enough to drive the personnel through the training complex (UTK) in order to draw the conclusions XY from XY, as Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev said.
Psychologists saw servicemen in an environment that was really close to extreme and professionally determined who needed psychological help and support, who was the informal leader in microgroups. For whom they will go to the emergency compartment, and who will destroy everyone.
Undoubtedly, a psychologist should be present at such detentions, but on ships of the 1st rank they were reduced as unnecessary, and on small ships they never existed. Nevertheless, civilian specialists, psychologists of the formations, are ready to break away from the workstations, put aside test forms for a while, which ... and go to living people on ships, in compartments.
None of the psychologists were injured in the course of working out the liquidation of the ship's fire., except for a little inhalation of combustion products. From practice, there will always be dashing contract servicemen who will climb to put out a fire without an insulating gas mask, and then they need artificial ventilation of the lungs from combustion products.

The fleet from Russia wants to increase its presence in the World Ocean. In the meantime - escapes from the burning ship February 16th, 2018
Instead of an epigraph:
"No one has the right to leave the emergency compartment (premises) on their own. The entire crew of the ship, including those temporarily on the ship, must fight for survivability"
(Ship charter of the Navy of the Russian Federation. Article 353)
A large anti-submarine ship (BOD) "Marshal Shaposhnikov" was on fire today in Vladivostok. Famous mainly for the fact that his crew shot captured Somali pirates (of course, I'm not saying that these were the same people as they are now. The crew has probably changed since then).
However, the words really surprised me:
"In Vladivostok, a fire broke out on the large anti-submarine ship Marshal Shaposhnikov, the crew left the ship"
www.rbc.ru/society/16/02/2018/5a863d509a 7947e3e2f552cf
"At 10:30, 106 crew members were taken out," proudly report from the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
uh? If the team left the ship, then this can only mean one of two things:
1. The ship has come to a state where all the possibilities to save it have been lost. Those. the ship can be considered lost.
2. In this fleet, the team cowardly escapes ("evacuates") from a burning ship. Contrary to the provision of its own Charter, which is known to be the law for every member of the armed forces, and which Charter states unequivocally that " The fight for survivability must be carried out by the entire crew of the ship"(Article 353 of the Civil Code of the Navy of the Russian Federation). And not civilian firefighters of the Ministry of Emergencies.
Frames from the video irrefutably testify that the correct one is the 2nd option. The ship was far from dead, a crowd of "sailors" with a PDA * on its side stares at how the native ship is burning: 
O Allah! And in this country we are told about the heroes of the Great and Patriotic War. They promise to repeat ... Who are you going to repeat with? With this fleet here, and with exactly the same army?
Meanwhile. The head of the Navy from Russia announced the task of increasing its presence in the oceans.
www.rbc.ru/politics/16/02/2018/5a86174d9 a7947cde184e1f2
And what does the Russian Federation mean by the presence in the oceans?
In Soviet times, such a "presence" meant that the forces of the fleet, acting in the World Ocean, have some influence on world politics, demonstrate strength, protect our interests, can carry out a "projection of force", as it is now fashionable to call it in the West, and if necessary - to join the battle and, at least, if you die, then not immediately.
It is obvious that at present the fleet from Russia cannot perform such tasks. First of all quantitatively. But, looking at what we saw above, it becomes clear that in terms of their moral and psychological attitudes, Russian sailors are not ready to perform real combat missions.
So what is meant in the Russian Federation by "increasing presence in the Ocean"? Obviously, in the literal sense - the presence of individual Russian ships in various oceans. Naturally, using the international right of freedom of navigation (which the United States and Great Britain defended for us), ships from Russia can in peacetime found in any ocean. And Russian propaganda will tell that "our fleet is present in the oceans." And admirals will receive salaries and bonuses. But the sense of this "presence" - zero.
*PDA - portable breathing apparatus.
