Development and design
Main article: Udaloy-class destroyer

Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, multi-role combatants. The concept of a specialized surface ship was developed by Soviet designers.

They are 156m in length, 17.3m in beam and 6.5m in draught.

Construction and career

Severomorsk was laid down on 12 June 1984 and launched on 24 December 1985 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg. She was commissioned on 30 December 1987.

On October 4, 2017, a detachment of ships led by the Severomorsk spacecraft arrived at the main base of the Northern Fleet, Severomorsk, after successfully completing the tasks of a march on the seas of the Arctic Ocean.[1]

From July 5, 2018, she has been making a long sea voyage. She visited the ports of Algeria, Victoria, Pemba and Antsiranana, took part in the Russian-Japanese naval anti-piracy exercises in the Gulf of Aden, in the Russian-Pakistani exercises on anti-piracy activities Arabian Monsoon 2018.[2]

On January 8, 2019, the ship passed the Dardanelles and entered the Sea of Marmara. On January 10, 2019, the ship came to Sevastopol to restore technical readiness, after which it continued a long sea voyage.[3] At the beginning of April 2019, it performed tasks in the Mediterranean.[4] In the Summer 2019 she participated in the Navy parade in St. Petersburg.[5]

In the Summer 2020 she was deployed to the Bering sea via the Northern sea route.[6] Before returning to her homeport Severomorsk, in November 2020 the ship sailed just outside of British territorial waters in Moray Firth along the tanker Sergey Osipov.[7]

In January 2021, she entered the Barents sea for artillery drills.[8]
