Soobrazitelny (Russian: Сообразительный, lit. 'Smart/Astute') is the second ship of the Steregushchy-class corvette (officially known as Project 20380) built for the Russian Navy in the early 21st century.
Description[]
The ship is the first of the class to be fitted with the system intended to increase its anti-aircraft capabilities with respect to the Kashtan CIWS previously used.[citation needed]
Construction and service[]
Soobrazitelny was laid down at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in Saint Petersburg on 20 May 2003.[2] She was launched in late March 2010[3] and was shown to the public for the first time at the fifth International Maritime Defence Show (IMDS-2011) in St. Petersburg.[citation needed] The corvette began state testing in July 2011[4] and joined the Baltic Fleet on 14 October of that year, when her acceptance certificate was signed.[5][6] Soobrazitelny was designated Guards on 1 March 2012 and received a battle flag inherited from her predecessors with the same name on 29 July of that year.[7][8]
In April 2017, Soobrazitelny and her sister Boyky were escorted through the English Channel by HMS Sutherland.[9]
The ship was one of the main characters shown in the RT channel documentary series "The Baltic Fleet".
