Design

Dostoynyy displaced 2,835 tonnes (2,790 long tons; 3,125 short tons) standard and 3,190 tonnes (3,140 long tons; 3,520 short tons) full load and was 123 m (404 ft) in length.[1] Power was provided by a combination of two 18,000 horsepower (13,000 kW) M3 and two 6,000 horsepower (4,500 kW) M60 gas turbines installed as a COGAG set named М7 for a design speed of 32 knots (59 km/h).[2]

The ship was designed for anti-submarine warfare around four URPK-4 Metel missiles (NATO reporting name SS-N-14 'Silex'), backed up by 533 millimetres (21 inches) torpedoes and a pair of RBU-6000 213 mm (8 in) anti-submarine rocket launchers.[3]

Service

Launched on 8 May 1971, Dostoynyy was deployed to the Northern Fleet on 28 April 1972 as part of the 10th Brigade.[4] The vessel was designated a Guard Ship (Сторожевой Корабль, SKR) from 28 July 1977.[5] and was upgraded with URPK-5 (SS-N-14B) missiles between January 1985 and August 1988.[4] After serving in the Mediterranean Sea, the ship was decommissioned on 30 June 1993 and scrapped between 1994 and 1995.[4]
