The Krylov State Research Center () is a Russian shipbuilding research and development institute, which operates as a federal state-owned unitary enterprise.
The institute is named after Aleksey Krylov, the Russian naval designer and mathematician who was one of its first superintendents, and is based in Saint Petersburg.
History The institute was established in 1894, to operate the Russian Empire's first ship model basin—the Naval Administration Towing Tank—on New Holland Island in Saint Petersburg. On 8 March that year, Emperor Alexander III and members of the royal family toured the facility, which is considered the foundation date of the institute.History 1894 , Krylov State Research Center.
