In July 2018, the frigate took part in Russia's Main Naval Parade in St. Petersburg.[6]

On 18 August 2018, Admiral Makarov set sail from the Baltic Sea for the Black Sea and sailed through the English Channel on 21 August.[7][8] She had been spotted while in transit there by HMS Queen Elizabeth in the English Channel on 18 August.[9][10] Admiral Makarov arrived at its permanent base in Sevastopol in early October.[11]

On 5 November 2018, the press service of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet announced the frigate had left Sevastopol to join the Russian naval group in the eastern Mediterranean.[12]
