"Nevskoye Design Bureau" (NPKB) is the oldest shipbuilding bureau in Russia. Currently, the bureau works in several areas of shipbuilding: aircraft carriers, naval aviation and technical equipment and large landing ships. 

"Nevskoye PKB" was created on January 18, 1931.

One of the bureau's projects and the leader of the destroyers was "Leningrad".

Later, the bureau was renamed TsKB-17.

In 1938, the fleet received the ship "Kirov", and in the following 6 years, 5 more ships of the "Kirov" and "Maksim Gorky" types. 

According to the bureau's projects, 46 destroyers of the "Gnevny" and "Storozhevoy" types were built. The ships were built at the USSR shipyards in Leningrad, Nikolaev, Sevastopol, Vladivostok, Komsomolsk-on-Amur. 

During the war, 6 ships built according to the Central Design Bureau's designs, 17 were awarded the Guards title, and 12 ships became Red Banner.

- In 1945, namely on May 9, Central Design Bureau-17 developed a new project for large-scale construction of the first destroyer with a welded hull of Project 30 bis. 

- In 1946, on the basis of the Central Design Bureau-17 branch, a new bureau, Central Design Bureau-53, was created to design light ships. 

- In 1959, Central Design Bureau-17 began to create a project for an aircraft carrier, which was the main focus for the bureau for many years. 

With the advent of the Navy, it was necessary to create anti-submarine defense ships that could detect and destroy enemy submarines at a considerable distance.

- In 1967, the development of the first Soviet long-range anti-submarine ship with a group of anti-submarine helicopters began. 

One of the projects, the ship "Moskva" was built at the Black Sea Shipyard in Nikolaev and delivered to the fleet in 1967.

- In 1969, a similar anti-submarine cruiser-helicopter carrier "Leningrad" was built. 

- In 1968, the design of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Kyiv" with vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and a nuclear aircraft carrier with a displacement of 1,000 with aircraft with catapult takeoff and landing on arresting gear began. 

Also, according to the projects of the Nevskoye Design Bureau, improved heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers were built: "Novorossiysk" and "Baku", later renamed Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov".

- In 1982, the project of the heavy aircraft carrier "Riga" was approved. Later, the ship was renamed several times: "Leonid Brezhnev", "Tbilisi", "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov"). On December 6, the ship was launched. 

- In December 1991, "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" became part of the Red Banner Northern Fleet, and remains there to this day. 

- From 1963 to 1989, 14 ships of the "Voronezhsky Komsomolets" type and three ships of the "Ivan Rogov" type were built according to the designs of the Nevskoye Design Bureau.

- Then in 1980 there was a project for a universal large landing ship.

Other ships were also built based on the designs of the Nevskoye Design Bureau and they are worth noting: "Kosmonavt Vladimir Komarov" and "Genichesk". 

During the years of the existence of the Soviet Union, more than 300 ships and vessels of various classes were built based on the designs of the bureau at 11 shipyards in the country.
