Krivak-class frigate / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Soviet frigate built in the 1970s and host to a mutiny. For the World War II-era Soviet destroyer, see Soviet destroyer Storozhevoy.
Storozhevoy (Russian: Сторожевой, lit. 'guardian' or 'sentry') was a Soviet Navy Project 1135 Burevestnik-class anti-submarine frigate (NATO reporting name Krivak I). After commissioning, the Soviet Navy assigned the ship to its Baltic Fleet and based it in Baltiysk. Storozhevoy was involved in a mutiny led by Valery Sablin in November 1975, after which it was assigned to the Pacific Fleet for the remainder of its career. It was decommissioned in June 2002.
