Gremyashchy was a Sovremenny-classdestroyer of the Soviet and later Russian navy.[1] Previously her name was Veduschy, which was renamed shortly before commissioning.
The project began in the late 1960s when it was becoming obvious to the Soviet Navy that naval guns still had an important role particularly in support of amphibious landings, but existing gun cruisers and destroyers were showing their age. A new design was started, employing a new 130mm automatic gun turret.
The ships were 156 metres (512ft) in length, with a beam of 17.3 metres (56ft 9in) and a draught of 6.5 metres (21ft 4in).
From April 23 to October 27, 1994, she underwent routine repairs at the shipyard No. 35 in Rost (boiler tubes were replaced).
On January 12, 1995, she was placed in PD-50 at the shipyard No. 82 in Roslyakovo to perform dock work. Docking was completed on March 11 of the same year. From March 1995 to January 1996, the ship performed combat training tasks and was awarded the Diploma of the President of Russia for participation in the jubilee parade dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
In September 1996, due to the unsatisfactory condition of three of the four boilers (1st, 2nd and 4th), the destroyer was prohibited from going to sea. She was withdrawn from the forces of constant combat readiness on March 28, 1997 and was transferred to the 2nd category reserve.
The ship's repair terms expired in December 1997.
On February 16, 1998 she was transferred to the 43rd division of missile ships of the 7th operational squadron until her decommissioning in 2007.[3]
In April 2016, the Russian Ministry of Defence officially requested bids for a contract for the scrapping of Gremyashchy along with seven other naval vessels.[4]
In May 2019, a fire broke out on the destroyer stationed in Severomorsk.
