Name That Warship XI

[Terminus]

Back from the insanity of trying to guess String's quiz entry, Name That Warship:

[Stavka_lite]

Something soviet from the 60s, lets say a krivak[&:][:D]

[trojan58]

Its not a Krivak I'm sure they were missile ships, possibly a Kashin DD

[trojan58]

a quick search got the answer
it's a skoryy class in the black sea circa 1968

[Stavka_lite]

I dot the 60s part right[:D]

[Terminus]

It is a Skoryy. Interestingly enough, although this particular vessel was photographed in '68, the design itself was completed in 1945. 68 were built, and all had been stricken by the mid-1980's.
