The shipbuilders of the Severnaya Verf shipyard will launch the frigate Admiral Golovko of Project 22350 on Friday, May 22. This was reported by TASS with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex on May 20.

“The ceremony will be held with a minimum number of participants in connection with the coronavirus,” the source said.

In early February, the Director General of Severnaya Verf Shipyard Igor Ponomarev announced that Admiral Golovko with a fully Russian power plant would be launched before July 1.

The United Engine Corporation (UEC) told reporters that the gas turbine engine for this ship had already been manufactured and delivered to the Severnaya Verf shipyard.

In mid-April, the press service of the plant noted that the “Admiral Golovko” was going to launch by the end of April - early May.

The frigates of project 22350 are designed to perform a wide range of tasks, including the defeat of surface ships, convoys, landing troops, search and destruction of submarines and ground targets. The displacement of ships is 5 thousand tons, length - 135 m, width - 16 m, speed - up to 29 knots.
