Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Gorshkov (Russian: Адмира́л фло́та Сове́тского Сою́за Горшко́в) is an Admiral Gorshkov class frigate of the Russian Navy and the lead ship of the class. She was laid down on 1 February 2006, launched on 29 October 2010 and was first expected to join the Russian Navy in November 2013.[7] However, problems with delivery of the main naval gun,[8] engine fire[9] and testing of the ship's Poliment-Redut air defence system delayed the commissioning date several times.[10] She was finally commissioned on 28 July 2018 with the Russia's Northern Fleet. The ship is named after Hero of the Soviet Union Sergey Gorshkov. With pennant number 454 (earlier 417), Admiral Gorshkov is part of the 43rd Missile Ship Division at Severomorsk.
Service[]
From 23 to 25 December 2017 Admiral Gorshkov conducted sea trials near UK waters in the North Sea,[11] where she was shadowed by HMS St Albans.[12]
On 28 July 2018, Admiral Gorshkov was officially accepted into the service with the Russian Navy, the day before its debut at the Main Naval Day parade in Saint Petersburg.[2][13] In total, the ship performed 16 firing exercises during the entire period of its state trials.[14]
On the maiden distant deployment, Admiral Gorshkov travelled some 35,000 nautical miles in what turned out to be the first global circumnavigation the Russian Navy performed since the Stepan Makarov's 1886–1889 voyage on the corvette .[15] Accompanied by medium sea tanker Kama, logistics support vessel Elbrus and large ocean tug Nikolay Chiker, during the historic mission Admiral Gorshkov visited the following ports: Djibouti (Djibouti), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Qingdao (China), Vladivostok (Russia), Puerto Bolívar (Ecuador), Havana (Cuba), Praia (Cape Verde) and Kronstadt (Russia),[16] before returning to its homeport Severomorsk. The 175-day long journey took place between 26 February and 19 August 2019.[17] On its route home, she also participated in the "Ocean Shield 2019" major naval exercise of the Russian Navy held in the Mediterranean Sea, thought to be the largest in the independent Russia with some 70 warships, submarines and auxiliary ships participating.[17]
In early January 2020, Admiral Gorshkov test-launched the 3M22 Zircon hypersonic anti-ship cruise missile from the Barents Sea, as part of the missile's state trials. This was the first time the Zircon was launched from a naval vessel.[18] Additional launches of the Zircon missile took place in October,[19] November[20] and December.[21] All the tests have been successful.
On 19 February 2021, Admiral Gorshkov entered the Barents Sea for exercises. She conducted anti-submarine and air defence exercises along with the tug Altay.[22] On 24 March, the frigate entered the Barents Sea and launched an Onyx missile, being accompanied by icebreaker Ilya Muromets, supply ship Elbrus and tug MB-110,[23] while hydrographic vessels Romuald Muklevich,[24] Nikolay Skosyrev, Aleksandr Makorta and anti-saboteur ship Valeriy Fedyanin were also active in the Barents Sea at the same time.[25]
