Bodryy (Russian: Бодрый, "brisk") was a Soviet Navy 1135 Burevestnik-class Large Anti-Submarine Ship (Большой Противолодочный Корабль, BPK) or Krivak-class frigate).

Design

Bodryy was the second Project 1135 ship laid down.[1] 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, the vessel was 123 m (404 ft) in length.[2] 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, driving two fixed pitch screws, for a design speed of 32 knots (59 km/h).[2]

The ship was designed for Anti-submarine warfare around four URPK-3 Metel missiles (NATO reporting name SS-N-14 'Silex'), backed up by 533 millimetres (21.0 in) torpedoes and a pair of RBU-6000 213 mm (8 in) anti-submarine rocket launchers. The main armament was upgraded to URPK-5 Rastrub (SS-N-14B) between 1982 and 1984.[3]

Service

Bodryy was commissioned with the Baltic Fleet on 14 February 1972 as part of the 128th Brigate.[3] In the 1970s, eight out ten of the crew were commended by the commanding officer for their combat and political training.[4] Designated a Guard Ship (Сторожевой Корабль, SKR) from 28 July 1977.,[5] the ship operated in the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Caribbean Sea until being decommissioned on 17 July 1997.[3]
