The following year the first 44-gun frigate, St. Nicholas, was launched. In 1827-1829 the neighboring Kherson Admiralty was closed down and transferred to be merged with one in Nikolaev. In 1851, Admiral M.P. Lazarev ordered the first considerable reconstruction of the shipyard.
In 1910 the government decided to stop building battleships and close the shipyard, but it was reopened in the following year as the French-owned Russian Shipbuilding Corporation. The name Russud comes from combining the word Russian and the word Sudostroitel'nyj.
Between 1911 and 1914, two building berths with slip-ways, an assembling and welding workshop, a number of buildings and an outfitting wharf were built on the left bank of the Ingul River.
Early in the Soviet era, the shipyard was renamed to the Andre Marti Yard. In 1931, the shipyard was named after 61 Communards. From then on, torpedo-boats, destroyers, light cruisers, submarines; naval supply vessels, including rescue vessels of various purposes equipped with deep-water operation systems were built.
