Admiral Golovko is an Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate of the Russian Navy. She is the first ship in the class to be equipped with domestic powerplant, rather than imported from Ukraine.[5][6]

Design

The Admiral Gorshkov class is the successor to the Neustrashimy and Krivak-class frigates. Unlike their Soviet-era predecessors, the new ships are designed for multiple roles. They are to be capable to execute long-range strikes, conduct anti-submarine warfare and to carry out escort missions.

Construction and career

Admiral Golovko was laid down on 1 February 2012, and launched on 22 May 2020 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg.[7][8] She is scheduled to be commissioned in 2022.[9][10]

It was reported that Admiral Golovko would be the first Russian surface ship to be armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles,[11] but the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov and first of the class was the first ship armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles.[12] She was expected to be deployed with the Northern Fleet once commissioned.

On 26 November 2022, Admiral Golovko went to the sea for the first time and started factory sea trials.[13][14]

On 23 November 2023, Admiral Golovko successfully completed its sea trials in the Barents Sea. [1][2]

On 25 December 2023, Admiral Golovko was commissioned into the Russian Navy, with the Russian President Vladimir Putin being present.[1] She arrived to her homeport of Severomorsk on January 11, 2024.[15]
