New Krivak IV class Frigate (Project 11356) to be laid down for Russian
Navy
The
Yantar Shipyard in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad will start on Friday
the construction of a new Krivak IV class frigate for Russia's Black
Sea Fleet.
Press secretary of Yantar Sergei Mikhailov reported this. Mikhailov
said, "The floor section has been produced by now and the laying
down plate will be attached to it on October 12."
The lead ship of this series, Admiral Grigorovich, was laid down on
December 18 of 2010, the second ship, Admiral Essen, was laid down on
July 8 of 2011 and the third ship, Admiral Makarov, was laid down on
February 29 of 2012.

Yantar should hand six frigates over to the Navy
between 2014 and 2016.
In 2011, the Yantar shipyard received a new order for another three
Krivak IV class frigates.
A Krivak IV class frigate is equipped with a 100-mm gun, a Shtil medium-range
air defense system, Club-N supersonic anti-ship missiles, two Kashtan
point defense systems, two twin 533-mm torpedo launchers, and an anti-submarine
warfare helicopter.
