Development and design
Main article: Udaloy-class destroyer

Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, multi-role combatants. The concept of a specialized surface ship was developed by Soviet designers.

They are 156m in length, 17.3m in beam and 6.5m in draught.[3]

Construction and career

Udaloy was laid down on 23 July 1977, and launched on 5 February 1980 by Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad. She was commissioned on 31 December 1980.
