Admiral Makarov was an Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate of the Russian Navy, part of the Black Sea Fleet based at Sevastopol. She was laid down at the Yantar Shipyard in February 2012.[5] She is the most recently built of her class, and the third of six ships that had been planned in the class as of November 2014.[6][7]

Service

In July 2018, the frigate took part in Russia's Main Naval Parade in St. Petersburg.[8]

On 18 August 2018, Admiral Makarov set sail from the Baltic Sea for the Black Sea and sailed through the English Channel on 21 August.[9][10] She had been spotted while in transit there by HMS Queen Elizabeth in the English Channel on 18 August during her maiden voyage.[11][12] After shadowing the British supercarrier, Admiral Makarov arrived at her permanent base in occupied Sevastopol in early October.[13]

On 5 November 2018, the press service of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet announced the frigate had left Sevastopol to join the Russian naval group in the eastern Mediterranean.[14]

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

In 2022, Admiral Makarov—along with Admiral Essen—took part in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, targeting a Ukrainian oil refinery and fuel depots in the suburbs of Odesa with cruise missiles.[15]

On 6 May 2022, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko claimed on Telegram that Admiral Makarov had been struck and badly damaged by a Ukrainian R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missile while stationed near Snake Island.[16][17] Some reports said the ship was on fire in the Black Sea,[17] Dumskaya, a Ukrainian news site, said Russian forces had sent helicopters to rescue the crew.[16] However, neither Russian nor Western military forces confirmed the claim.[16] On 7 May, the adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovych said that the report was a "misunderstanding", and that the vessel attacked near Snake Island was actually a Serna-class landing craft.[18] On 9 May, Admiral Makarov was spotted navigating in the sea.[19]

Following the loss of the cruiser Moskva, Admiral Makarov was likely to assume the role of flagship of the Black Sea Fleet.[20]
