The Ondatra class Soviet designation Project 1176 Akula ("shark") is a class of landing craft built for the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy between 1971 and 2009.
Construction
The vessels were built by the Azovskiy Shipyard, Rybinsk Shipyard and Vladivostok Shipyard. Over 40 vessels of this type were built for service with the Soviet and Russian navies, and additional vessels were built for export. The vessels are designated as type DKA Desantanyy Kater and are similar in type to the US Navy Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM).Guide to the Soviet Navy (Polmer)Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World (Wertheim)russian-ships.info (accessed 1 Mar 2012)
The Ondatra landing craft have a limited range, of two days and {{convert|330|-|500|nmi|lk=in|abbr=on|disp=comma}}) and have a shallow draught that make them ideal for amphibious operations and littoral combat. The {{sclass|Ivan Rogov|landing ship|1}}s carry one Ondatra for use as a tug for its {{sclass2|Lebed|LCAC|0}} air-cushioned landing craft.
Although still under construction in 2009, the Project 1176 is a 1970s design that is reaching the end of its operational life. The class may be replaced by the newer Project 21820 {{sclass2|Dyugon|landing craft|1}} that is currently entering service in the Russian Navy. The Dyugon-class vessels carry two main battle tanks compared to the Ondatra's single tank, it is armed (2 MPTU-1 of 14.5 mm), and can attain {{convert|35|kn|lk=in}} compared to the Ondatra's {{convert|11|kn}}.
Ships
42 vessels are documented for the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy.{{Cite web|url=http://russianships.info/eng/warships/project_1176.htm|title=Landing craft - Project 1176, 1176E|website=russianships.info|accessdate=February 21, 2025}}
On 10 November 2023 one Ondatra-class craft was reported destroyed by Ukrainian intelligence near Chornomors'ke, in northern Crimea by a Ukrainian sea drone.{{cite news |last=Polityuk|first=Pavel |date=2023-11-10 |title=Ukraine sinks two Russian landing boats in Crimea -military |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-damages-two-small-russian-landing-boats-crimea-kyiv-says-2023-11-10/ |work=Reuters |access-date=2023-11-10}}
