Bystry is a Sovremenny-class destroyer of the Soviet and later Russian navy.[1]

Development and design[]

Main article: Sovremenny-class destroyer

Project began in the late 1960s when it was becoming obvious in the Soviet Navy that naval guns still had an important role particularly in support of amphibious landings, but existing gun cruisers and destroyers were showing their age. A new design was started, employing a new 130 mm automatic gun turret.

The ships are  156 metres (511 ft 10 in) in length, with a beam of 17.3 metres (56 ft 9 in) and a draught of 6.5 metres (21 ft 4 in).

Construction and career[]

Bystry was laid down on 29 October 1985 and launched on 28 November 1987 by Zhdanov Shipyard in Leningrad.[2] She was commissioned on 30 September 1989.

From June 3 to 28, 2013, a detachment of ships – Bystry, Oslyabya and – left Vladivostok and participated in the military-historical naval Campaign of Memory dedicated to the victory in the Great Patriotic War, the 282nd anniversary of the Pacific Fleet, and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Admiral G. I. Nevelskoy. The route of the campaign was Vladivostok - Nevelsk - Yuzhno-Kurilsk - Severo-Kurilsk - Vilyuchinsk - Okhotsk - Korsakov - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - Vladivostok. The ships covered 4,200 miles in 25 days.[3][4]

As of the beginning of 2015, since its construction, the ship has covered 43,792 nautical miles, 13 people from the ship's crews have been awarded government awards.

On January 27, 2016, the destroyer arrived at its home port, Vladivostok. According to the results of 2016, the destroyer crew became the best among the missile and artillery ships of rank 1-2 of the Russian Navy in the competition for the prize of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.[5]
