'''''Hetman Sahaidachny'' (U130/F130)''' ({{lang-uk|Гетьман Сагайдачний}}) was a [[frigate]] of the [[Ukrainian Navy]] that was originally built at the Kerch Shipyard as a Project 11351 patrol ship of the [[Krivak-class frigate#Project 11351 or Nerey (Krivak III)|Nerey / Krivak III / ''Menzhinskiy'' class]]. Homeported at [[Odesa]] since March 2014, she was the [[flagship]] of the Ukrainian Navy.  Her major armament was a single 100 mm gun.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/kozhara-hetman-sahaidachny-frigate-to-join-natos-anti-piracy-operation/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130917123531/http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/kozhara-hetman-sahaidachny-frigate-to-join-natos-anti-piracy-operation/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 September 2013 |title=Kozhara: Hetman Sahaidachny frigate to join NATO's anti-piracy operation |work=[[Interfax-Ukraine]] |date=17 September 2013}}</ref> As the [[Russo-Ukrainian War|Russo-Ukrainian war]] escalated, Hetman was [[Scuttling|scuttled]] by Ukraine on 4 March 2022 out of fear of being captured by advancing Russian forces.

She was laid down on 5 October 1990{{sfn|Saunders|2009|page=849}} at the [[Zalyv Shipbuilding yard]] with yard number 208, the ship was intended to be used by the [[Soviet Border Troops]] as ''Kirov''.{{sfn|Apalkov|2005|page=106}} However, after the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] in December 1991, the ship was acquired by the [[Ukrainian Navy]] as her shipyard was located in [[Kerch]], Ukraine.{{sfn|Apalkov|2005|page=106}} The ship was launched on 29 March 1992.{{sfn|Saunders|2009|page=849}} She was completed on 2 April 1993 as ''Hetman Sahaidachny'', named after [[Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny]]. She was given the identification number of U130.{{sfn|Apalkov|2005|page=106}} On 4 July 1993, ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' was the first ship to raise the flag of the Ukrainian Navy.<ref name=KS>{{cite web|url=http://www.svitlytsia.crimea.ua/index.php?section=article&artID=4052 |publisher=Кримська Свiтлиця |last= Armashevska |first=Alain |script-title=uk:Гетьман Сагайдачний: корабель та людина |date=11 August 2006 |access-date=8 February 2015|language=uk }}</ref>

In 1994, ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' set sail for [[France]] to take part in the 50th-anniversary commemorations of the [[Normandy landings|Allied invasion of Normandy]].<ref name=KS/> In fall 1995, ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' visited [[Abu Dhabi]] during the "[[International Defence Exhibition|Idex-95]]" exhibitions.<ref name=KS/> The frigate was scheduled to visit [[Norfolk, Virginia]] in the United States with ''Kostiantyn Olshansky''. ''Kostiantyn Olshansky'' visited, but ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' did not for unknown reasons.

The vessel has also visited ports in [[Algeria]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Egypt]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Gibraltar]], [[Israel]], [[Portugal]], [[Russia]] and [[Turkey]].

Between November 2006 and November 2007, she underwent major repairs in [[Mykolaiv]] at a cost of ₴15 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://novosti-n.mk.ua/news/read/?id=3192 |script-title=ru:Отремонтированный фрегат «Гетьман Сагайдачний» отправился в Севастополь.

In 2008, ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' took part in "[[Operation Active Endeavour]]" in the [[Mediterranean Sea]].

''Hetman Sahaidachny'' joined the Naval Force of the European Union ([[EUNAVFOR]]) in early January 2014 for [[NATO]]'s "[[Operation Ocean Shield]]" anti-piracy operations off the [[Horn of Africa]]. As she refueled in [[Greece]], while [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|Russian forces seized control of Crimea]], Russian state media [[RT (TV network)|RT]] falsely reported on 1 March 2014 that the ship's crew had defected to Russia and raised the Russian flag.{{cn|date=March 2022}} Shortly afterwards, the Wall Street Journal reported a Ukrainian Defense Ministry statement that the ship was still flying the Ukrainian flag in port in [[Crete]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304815004579415310363248616?KEYWORDS=Ukraine&mg=reno64-wsj|title=Ukraine Ousts Top Naval Officer After He Joins Separatists|first=Alexander|last=Kolyandr|work=Wall Street Journal |date=2 March 2014|access-date=8 February 2015}} {{subscription required}}</ref> According to the Defense Ministry, the commander of the ship stated that the crew had never defected to the Russians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mil.gov.ua/index.php?lang=en&part=news&sub=read&id=32772|title=News|publisher=Mil.gov.ua|date=2 March 2014|access-date=8 March 2014}}</ref> It arrived in [[Odesa]] under the Ukrainian flag on 5 March.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=uk:Флагман "Гетьман Сагайдачний" прибув до одеського порту під Державним Прапором України |url=http://ua.interfax.com.ua/news/general/194440.html |work=Interfax-Ukraine |language=uk |date=5 March 2014 |access-date=8 February 2015}}</ref>

The Ukrainian naval command issued a contradictory report that on 14 March 2014, the ship encountered a Russian naval group attempting to enter or having entered Ukrainian territorial waters. As ''Hetman Sahaidachny'' approached the group, they withdrew.<ref>{{cite web|title=Frigate Hetman Sahaydachniy forces Russian ships to leave Ukrainian waters |url=http://charter97.org/en/news/2014/3/20/91258/ |work=Chapter97.org |date=20 March 2014 |access-date=8 February 2015}}</ref> In September 2014, the frigate entered Odesa to undergo repairs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.segodnya.ua/regions/odessa/v-odesse-nachali-remont-getmana-sagaydachnogo--568633.html |script-title=ru:В Одессе начали ремонт "Гетьмана Сагайдачного" |language=ru |publisher=segodnya.ua |date=12 November 2014 |access-date=8 February 2015}}</ref> In May 2017, she suffered an engine failure shortly after undergoing repairs.{{Citation needed|date=November 2020}}  In July 2018 she participated in the Sea Breeze 2018 multinational exercises.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/prezident-oznajomivsya-z-hodom-bagatonacionalnih-navchan-si-48786|title=President got acquainted with the course of Sea Breeze 2018 multinational maritime exercise |publisher=president.gov.ua|date=16 July 2018 |access-date=27 November 2018}}</ref>

On 2 April 2018, she celebrated the 25th anniversary of her commissioning. In January 2022, it was indicated that the ship would undergo a refit and upgrade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/naval-news/naval-news-archive/2022/january/11261-ukrainian-naval-forces-to-upgrade-hetman-sahaidachny-frigate.html|title=Ukrainian Naval Forces to upgrade Hetman Sahaidachny frigate|date=14 January 2022 }}</ref>

Due to the effects of long-term [[rust|saltwater corrosion]] on the ship's internals, such as electronics and [[marine propulsion|propulsion]], it is unlikely that she will return to service.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
