According to the Western press, the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy has adopted a new flagship, the Udaloy class destroyer Severomorsk. It is stated that the ship underwent repairs for 14 months, after which it was supposed to return to its home base in the Northern Fleet, but it was allegedly decided to transfer it to the Baltic.

According to Western observers, this decision could be related to the former flagship of the BF, the destroyer "Persistent" [of the Sarych project], which is supposed to have been withdrawn from the fleet and is awaiting disposal, as is allegedly evidenced by the cessation of its activities at sea for a long time.

Historically, the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy had rather limited anti-submarine defense capabilities compared to the Northern and Pacific Fleets, paying more attention to anti-ship warfare and small multipurpose pennants.

- says the Defensa publication.

Against this background, as the author argues, the transfer of Severomorsk to the Baltic can significantly strengthen the means of the fleet responsible for it. According to him, the new flagship is equipped with a gas turbine power plant, which, unlike the steam propulsion of its predecessor, provides greater reliability and the possibility of long-term deployment.

Severomorsk entered service on January 24, 1988, after being built at the Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad.

This powerful patrol ship of the Russian Navy with a displacement of about 7,000 tons and a length of 163 meters actively served in the Northern Fleet.

- it is noted in the edition.

The ship's armament consists of two quadruple launchers of URK-5 Rastrub-B anti-submarine missiles, two Dagger air defense systems (64 missiles), two RBU-6000 anti-submarine bombers and 8 53-65K torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber. In addition, there are 2 AK-100 artillery systems and 4 AK-630 tanks on board. Two hangars and a spacious flight deck aft allow it to operate two Ka-27PL helicopters.
