Consul-class DSV (project 1681x) is a class of two deep submergence vehicles, built and operated by the Russian Navy. Conceived in the late 80es, they are a military counterpart to the better known strictly civilian Mir submersiles and are operated by the Navy's Main Underwater Research Directorate. First ship in the class, AS-37 ''Rus'', is built to the original project 18610, while the second one, AS-39 ''Consul'', is of the updated project 16811 design, though ''Rus'' was later upgraded to the pr. 16811 specs. ==Project History== Soviet Navy issued the technical requirements for the military DSV back in 1984, and the design was assigned to the Malakhit design bureau, one of the leading Soviet submarine specialists, with the final drafts for the project 16810 completed and approved by 1989. During the design process the Ministry of Geology also showed the interest in similar DSV for marine shelf geological research, so the drafts were updated to comply with civilian USSR Register of Shipping requirements, and some additional upgrades were incorporated into them, resulting in the updated project 16811. Both ships were laid up in Admiralty Shipyard an 1989, but while the Navy order (commissioned later as AS-37 ''Rus'') was largely completed before the funding dried up in the mid-90es (and even then the construction continued whenever the funds were available), the Ministry of Geology order was plagued by the bureaucratic red tape, especially the statute forbidding Rosnedra, its successor, to engage in R&D. ''Rus'' was eventually completed in 1999 and commissioned in 2001, while ''Consul'' continued to sit in the yard until Rosnedra agreed to transfer its ownership to the Navy, with the provision of making it available for geological research when necessary. This allowed the resumption of the submersible's construction and by the 2009 it was finally completed. Meanwhile ''Rus'' undervent an upgrade to bring its specs to the project 16811. By the late 2011 both ships completed their testing including dives to the project depth of 6000 m, easily surpassing it by several hundreds of meters, and ''Consul'' was commissioned into the Navy. Currently they are operating from the various ''ad hoc'' tenders, but in December 2012 their dedicated tender, R/V ''Yantar'', was launched by Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad.
