Russian corvette Boikiy
Boikiy (Russian: Бойкий, lit. 'Brisk') is a Steregushchy-class corvette of the Russian Navy, the third ship of that class. She was laid down in July 2005 and was launched on 15 April 2011.[2] She was presented to the Baltic Fleet for final inspection by the Navy on 16 March 2012 ahead of her commissioning later in the year.[3] On 16 November 2012 it was reported that the corvette had already passed the shipyard's sea trials; about 70 certificates were signed then. JSC Arsenal intended to produce a 100-mm gun mount A190-01 for the corvette, and late in 2012 the ship moved to Baltiysk acceptance base for the second phase of sea trials. This began state acceptance trials.[4][5]
