Yenisey is a Russian Navy hospital ship and one of the ship of the Ob-class hospital ship. Yenisey is part of the Black Sea Fleet.
The four ships of the Ob-class hospital ships were designed to provide medical and recreational facilities. They were also employed as personnel transports. They have civilian crews but carry uniformed naval medical personnel. The ships are fully equipped with surgical equipment. Later two units are Project B-320 II, implying a modification to the basic design; the external differences are minor.
She was laid down in 1979 and launched in 1980 by Adolf Barsky shipyard. Commissioned in 1981 as a hospital ship.[1]
