Okrylyonnyy was a Sovremenny-class destroyer of the Russian Navy.[1]
Development and design
The project began in the late 1960s when it was becoming obvious in the Soviet Navy that naval guns still had an important role particularly in support of amphibious landings, but existing gun cruisers and destroyers were showing their age. A new design was started, employing a new 130-millimetre (5 in) automatic gun turret.
The Sovremenny-class ships are 156 metres (511 ft 10 in) in length, with a beam of 17.3 metres (56 ft 9 in) and a draught of 6.5 metres (21 ft 4 in).
Construction and career
Okrylyonnyy was laid down on 16 April 1983 and launched on 31 May 1986 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg.[2] She was commissioned on 26 March 1988.
From 4 to 17 March 1989, the ship as part of the IBM carried out direct monitoring of the NATO exercises Nord Star, which took place in the Norwegian Sea, followed the actions of the aircraft carrier Ark Royal and the landing ship "Intrepid". On December 1, 1989, he again went to sea.
On January 4, 1990, he carried out combat service in the Mediterranean Sea. In the period from March 14 to March 31, he made a business call to Tartus, from April 14 to April 21 he followed the American AUG as part of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Ticonderoga, etc. Returned from combat service to Severomorsk on June 13, 1990. During the combat service he covered 21 702 nautical miles. Combat service rating - excellent. In the same year, the ship received the Prize of the Main Committee of the Navy for artillery shooting with the presentation of the Challenging Banner.[3]
He entered the new military service in the North Atlantic on January 4, 1991, accompanied by Kalinin on the transition to the Mediterranean Sea. Having reached Gibraltar, he laid down on a return course and returned to Severomorsk on January 23, having covered 6053 nautical miles. He went to sea again on August 15, 1991 to pay a visit to Plymouth in Great Britain, but on August 19 he returned in connection with the Emergency Committee, having covered 3,047 nautical miles for the cruise.
Participated in the testing of launches of modernized Moskit missiles. In 1992 he took part in exercises, the next year he practiced all types of combat training.
On January 6, 1994, the ship was docked at the shipyard No. 82 in Roslyakovo, on March 9, it was put into reserve category 2.
In April 1997, the destroyer was visited by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy F. Gromov. Since the terms of the average repair and the required surveys had expired, the fleet management decided not to restore the ship without preservation.
On November 29, 1998, the ship was excluded from the fleet and withdrawn after converting to Severomorsk.
Since the raising of the flag, the ship has covered 69,483.7 nautical miles. Government awards on the ship were awarded to 40 people, one of them with the order.
