Shtandart (frigate)
The frigate ''Shtandart'' (''(ロシア語:Штандартъ)'') was the first ship of Russia's Baltic fleet. Her keel was laid on April 24, 1703 at the Olonetsky shipyard near Olonets by the decree of Tsar Peter I and orders issued by commander Aleksandr Menshikov. The vessel was built by the Dutch shipwright Vybe Gerens under the direct supervision of the tsar. She was the first flagship of the Imperial Russian Navy and was in service until 1727. The name ''Shtandart'' was also given to the royal yachts of the tsars until the Russian Revolution in 1917. Tsar Nicholas II's royal yacht was last of this series.
The replica frigate has three masts and her displacement is 220 tons. She is 25 metres (82.0 ft) long at her centre line, 27.5 metres (90 ft) long on deck and 34.5 metres (113 ft) long overall. The ''Shtandart'' is 6.9 metres (23 ft) wide with a draft of 3.3 metres (11 ft). The ship is designed for speeds between 8-9 knots under sail, and under auxiliary engines required by modern standards up to 15 knots (28 km/h). The original crew complement in 1703 was between 120 and 150, and the modern crew consists of 30 trainees and 10 officers.
== The First ''Shtandart'' (1703) ==
The name ''Shtandart'' signifies Peter the Great's desire to gain access to the Baltic Sea, which at the time of the ''Shtandart's'' construction was dominated by the Swedish Empire. A plan to take control of the Baltic Sea away from Sweden was revived after Peter's Grand Embassy ended in 1698. The name refers more directly to a naval ensign created for the new Baltic Fleet, of which the ''Shtandart'' was the first ship.〔(Russian Naval Ensigns from the Flags of the World site. )〕〔(Translation of page from Russian Navy website showing similar historical ensigns. )〕 Peter's goal was finally realized after he decisively defeated Swedish forces at the Battle of Poltava〔Battle of Poltava (Wikipedia)〕〔(Battle of Poltava (Encyclopedia of Ukraine website) )〕 in 1709, a turning point for Russia in the Great Northern War (1700–1721).
The ''Shtandart's'' design combined techniques from English and Dutch shipbuilding schools. The frame of the ship is wide, almost square, and the ship's double bottom is flat, reducing the draft. The high rigging of the sails is in the English style. The frigate was launched on August 22, 1703 and set sail on September 8, 1703 for St. Petersburg.
