Retivyy (Russian: Ретивый, “Ardent”) was a Soviet Navy 1135 Burevestnik-class Guard Ship (Сторожевой Корабль, SKR) or Krivak-class frigate.

Design

Displacing 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, Retivyy was 123 m (404 ft) in length.[1] Power was provided by a combination of two 17,000 horsepower (13,000 kW) M8K and two 6,000 horsepower (4,500 kW) M62 gas turbines, driving two fixed pitch screws, for a design speed of 32 knots (59 km/h).[1]

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 mm (21 in) torpedoes and a pair of RBU-6000 213 mm (8 in) anti-submarine rocket launchers.[2]

Service

Launched on 14 August 1976. Retivyy was accepted into the Pacific Fleet on 5 February 1977 as part of the 173th Brigade and operated in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.[3] On 30 October 1978, the ship participated in the search for the crew of the Lockheed P-3 Orion AF 586 from VP-9 that had crashed off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. 1979 saw operations in the Indian Ocean with Razumnyy and Rezkiy, along with Project 641 submarines B-33 and B-112. In 1981 the vessel joined with Petropavlovsk, Rezkiy, submarine K-201 and the tanker Irkut for service off the west coast of the United States. Retivyy underwent anti-submarine training with Razumnyy in 1988. The ship was decommissioned on 4 August 1995 and sold to a South Korean company for scrap.[3]
