MOSCOW, Russia -- The Russian Navy will receive the second vessel in the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov class of frigates in December of this year. Severnaya Verf CEO Igor Ponomarev said, "The frigate Admiral Kasatonov will enter the second round of performance trials in late March-early April and will be transferred over to the Navy in December this year." The frigate is the second in the Project 22350 class.
Lead vessel Admiral Gorshkov was commissioned last year. Two further frigates in the class, Admiral Golovko and Admiral Isakov, are under construction. United Shipbuilding Corporation CEO Alexei Rakhmanov stated on March 20 that "a decision has been made to build two more frigates at the Northern Shipyard," seemingly indicating that another set of two Project 22350 frigates will be built before the shipbuilding industry moves to development of the larger Project 22350M version.
Severnaya Verf will also deliver a corvette, Gremyashchiy, and a logistics support vessel, Vsevolod Bobrov, in December 2019.
Rakhmanov also discussed the Project 885M submarines. The lead vessel, Kazan, is due to enter service this year, though according to Rakhmanov, the submarine's trials in 2018 were disrupted, meaning the delivery time frame may be pushed back. Kazan is due to test the Zircon hypersonic missile sometime next year.
