react-navigation - Cannot read property 'navigate' of undefined

I'm new in React Native and trying create my first app. So I have a question:

I got 2 screens (using react-navigation). At first screen there is a render of app logo with spinner(from native-base) and fetch to the server at the same time. And I need to navigate to another screen only when fetch is over and responce is handled. Please help me find my mistakes!

index.ios.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
  TextInput,TouchableHighlight
} from 'react-native';
import { StackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import LoadingScreen from './src/screens/LoadingScreen.js';
import MainContainer from './src/screens/MainContainer.js';

export default class Calculator2 extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <LoadingScreen/>
    );
  }
}
const AppNavigator = StackNavigator({
  Loading: {
    screen: LoadingScreen
   },
  Main: {
    screen: MainContainer
  }
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Calculator2', () => Calculator2);

LoadingScreen.js:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  AsyncStorage,
  AppRegistry,NetInfo,
  Text,Image,View
} from 'react-native';
import { StackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import AppNavigator from '../../index.ios.js';
import { Container, Header, Content, Spinner } from 'native-base';

export default class LoadingScreen extends Component {
  static navigationOptions = {
    title: 'Loading',
  };
  constructor(props){
   super(props);

  }
  componentDidMount(){
    const {navigate} = this.props.navigation;
    fetch('url').then( (response) => {navigate('Main')});
  }
  render() {
    return(
          <View>
            App logo with spinner
          </View>
   );
  }
}

MainContainer.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,Alert,NetInfo,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,ActivityIndicator,
  TextInput,TouchableHighlight
} from 'react-native';

import { StackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import AppNavigator from '../../index.ios.js';

export default class MainContainer extends Component {
  static navigationOptions = {
    title: 'Main',
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <View  style={{flexDirection: 'column'}}>
         ...
      </View>
    );
  }
}

And all I got is an error "Cannot read property 'navigate' of undefined" at LoadingScreen.componentDidMount

UPD actually my fetch should be a function getting responce and handling it, and it should wait till handling is done:

async function getData(){
    var response = await fetch('url', {
      method: 'GET'
    });
    storage = await response.json(); // storage for response
    regions = Object.keys(storage); // an array of regions names
    console.log(storage, Object.keys(storage));
  };

You need to register AppNavigator component instead of Calculator2

AppRegistry.registerComponent('Calculator2', () => AppNavigator);

Just update your LoadingScreen.js's componentDidMount function as following:

componentDidMount() {
 var self = this;
   fetch('url').then( (response) => {
        self.props.navigation.navigate('Main')
   });
}
