According to the "TASS" news agency, citing its sources among shipbuilders, the large anti-submarine ship (BPC) "Severomorsk" will be launched after repairs in September 2024. "Severomorsk", as noted, will "go \"north\"".
In addition, sources say that "Severomorsk", like other BPC Project 1155, is waiting for modernization into frigates: the ability to hit ground, surface and underwater targets, strengthening combat power with missiles and artillery. So far, the Ministry of Defense has not officially confirmed or denied this information published by the news agency.
Earlier, another ship of this project, "Marshal Shaposhnikov", underwent modernization into frigates. Now it is in the detachment of the Pacific Fleet. "Marshal Shaposhnikov" received new artillery power and missile systems "Uran" and "Caliber-NK". Now it can work with both "Caliber" and "Onyx".
Also, "Admiral Vinogradov" of Project 1155 is currently undergoing modernization work into a frigate. It will be returned to the balance of the Navy in 2025. It is known that it will be even more powerful than "Marshal Shaposhnikov", and, according to some reports, may receive equipment with hypersonic "Zircons".
