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]
It was reported that Admiral Golovko would be the first Russian surface ship to be armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles,[9] but the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov and first of the class was the first ship armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles.[10]
On 26 November 2022, Admiral Golovko went to the sea for the first time and started factory sea trials.[11][12]
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.[13]
