Large ASW Destroyer Kerch
Project 1134B / Kara Class
 

The 'Kara' design was the first new, large Soviet surface warship in many years, and was evidently intended to boost blue-water ASW capabilities. Although often grouped with cruisers, these ships are destroyers by role. The Kara-class was a further development of the the Kresta-II design, with gas-turbines replacing the steam plants of the previous classes, resulting in major modifications to the layout of the midships section. Although larger than the Kresta-II cruiser and with significant anti-air and anti-submarine capabilities, these ships are classified as destroyers rather than cruisers by the Russian Navy. In total on Project 1134B 7 ships were constructed, 4 of which served on the Black Sea fleet.

Large ASW Destroyer Kerch laid down 30 April 1971 at the Shipyard named after 61 kommunara, Nikolaev (yard No.2003), 25 May 1971 is enlisted in the lists of the ships of the Naval Fleet.
