russian destroyer Admiral Chabanenko sails through Panama
A historic voyage: Russian Udaloy II class Destroyer Admiral Chabanenko ddg 650 crossed the Panama Canal overnight, becoming the first Russian warship allowed through the Panama Canal for about 60 years since World War 2.The first and only time Soviet warships used the Panama Canal was in 1944, when the USSR and US were fighting as allies against Hitler, the Russian embassy in Panama told AFP news agency.
A task force from Russia's Pacific Fleet will leave its main base in Vladivostok on December 9 to take part in joint naval drills with the Indian navy in the Indian Ocean

Udaloy II class Destroyer wallpapers




RFS Admiral Chabanenko ddg650arrives Plymouth for Navy Davys 25/08/2006


Following Udaloy's commissioning, designers began developing an upgrade package in 1982 to provide more balanced capabilities. The Project 1155.1 Fregat II Class Large ASW Ships (NATO Codename Udaloy II), Russia's only multipurpose destroyer, is intended to be the Russian counterpart to the American Arleigh Burke class ships. The Udaloy-II is modified by the replacement of the SS-N-14 by the SS-N-22, reflecting a change in emphasis from ASW to anti-shipping, however, her standoff ASW capability is retained by firing SS-N-15 missiles from the torpedo tubes. Other changes include an improved self defense capability with the addition of the gun/SAM CIWS systems. Similar to Udaloy externally, it was a new configuration with the Moskit antiship missiles, a twin 130 mm gun, the Udav antitorpedo system and several anti-aircraft systems. Powered by a modern gas-turbine engine, it was equipped with more capable sonars, an integrated air defense fire control system, and a number of digital electronic systems based on state-of-the-art circuitry.
In 2006 it was reported by Jane's that the Navy was to place the Northern Fleet's Project 1155 Udaloy I-class destroyer Admiral Kharlamov into reserve in the face of delayed funding for a planned overhaul and upgrade programme
