Soviet frigate Doblestnyy
Krivak-class frigate / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doblestnyy (Russian: Доблестный, "Valiant") was a Project 1135 Burevestnik-class Large Anti-Submarine Ship (Большой Противолодочный Корабль, BPK) or Krivak-class frigate. With an armament centred on four Metel (NATO reporting name SS-N-14 'Silex') missiles, the ship was launched on 22 February 1973 and joined the Northern Fleet of the Soviet Navy as a dedicated anti-submarine vessel. Doblestnyy was designated a Guard Ship (Сторожевой Корабль, SKR) from 28 July 1977 in response to a change in emphasis of the navy, and subsequently undertook visits to a number of African nations, including Angola and Ghana. Taken out of service to be repaired and upgraded on 19 June 1991, a lack of funding meant that this was cancelled and instead the vessel was decommissioned. The vessel was sold to be broken up on 18 July 1995.
