Construction and career

Admiral Golovko was laid down on 1 February 2012, and launched on 22 May 2020 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg.[5][6] She is scheduled to be commissioned in 2022.[7][8]

The ship was reported on sea trials by mid-2021 and in July 2021, it was reported that Admiral Golovko would be the first Russian surface ship to be armed with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles.[9] She was expected to be deployed with the Northern Fleet once commissioned.
