Admiral Makarov is an Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate of the Russian Navy, part of the Black Sea Fleet based at Sevastopol. She was laid down at the Yantar Shipyard in February 2012 and commissioned on 25 December 2017.[5] She is the most recently built of her class, and the third of six ships that had been planned in the class as of November 2014.[6][7]
Service
In July 2018, the frigate took part in Russia's Main Naval Parade in St. Petersburg.[8]
On 18 August 2018, Admiral Makarov set sail from the Baltic Sea for the Black Sea and sailed through the English Channel on 21 August.[9][10] She had been spotted while in transit there by HMS Queen Elizabeth in the English Channel on 18 August during her maiden voyage.[11][12] After shadowing the British supercarrier, Admiral Makarov arrived at her permanent base in occupied Sevastopol in early October.[13]
On 5 November 2018, the press service of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet announced the frigate had left Sevastopol to join the Russian naval group in the eastern Mediterranean.[14]
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
In 2022, Admiral Makarov—along with Admiral Essen—took part in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, targeting a Ukrainian oil refinery and fuel depots in the suburbs of Odesa with cruise missiles.[15]
Following the 14 April 2022 sinking of the cruiser Moskva, Admiral Makarov was likely to assume the role of flagship of the Black Sea Fleet.[16]
On 6 May 2022, it was mistakenly reported that Admiral Makarov had suffered a successful Ukrainian attack.[17]
There were unverified reports that the Admiral Makarov suffered damage during an attack on Sevastopol by several Ukrainian air and sea drones on 29 October 2022.[18]
