Severomorsk is a Udaloy-class destroyer. The ship entered service with the Soviet Navy in 1987 and after the breakup of the Soviet Union, became part of the Russian Navy.
Development and design
[edit]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 156 metres (511 ft 10 in) in length, 17.3 metres (56 ft 9 in) in beam and 6.5 metres (21 ft 4 in) in draught.
Construction and career
[edit]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 4 October 2017, a detachment of ships led by Severomorsk arrived at the main base of the Northern Fleet, Severomorsk, after successfully completing exercises in the Arctic Ocean.[1]
Beginning on 5 July 2018, the destroyer began a long voyage, visiting ports in Algeria, Victoria, Australia, Pemba and Antsiranana. Severomorsk took part in the Russian-Japanese naval anti-piracy exercises in the Gulf of Aden and then in Russian-Pakistani exercises on anti-piracy activities Arabian Monsoon 2018.[2]
On 8 January 2019, the ship passed the Dardanelles and entered the Sea of Marmara. On 10 January, the ship arrived at Sevastopol to restore technical readiness, after which it continued a long sea voyage.[3] At the beginning of April, Severomorsk performed tasks in the Mediterranean.[4] In mid-2019 she participated in the naval parade in Saint Petersburg.[5]
In mid-2020 Severomorsk was deployed to the Bering Sea via the Northern sea route.[5] Before returning to her homeport at Severomorsk, in November the ship sailed just outside of British territorial waters in the Moray Firth alongside the tanker Sergey Osipov.[6]
In January 2021, she entered the Barents Sea for naval artillery drills.[7] She remained active as of 2023.[8]
