After modernizing by Severnaya Verf shipyard, a part of United Industrial Corporation, a large ship Vice-Admiral Kulakov goes back to Northern Fleet. The first ship was modernized at OPK’s shipyards and in the middle of April it’s going to be tested for further activity in Northern Fleet. To improve conditions of life, it was necessary to change some armament complexes and life-support system. In 1990s the ship was planned to utilize because of the lack of money. However at the beginning of this century RF Ministry of Defense had sufficiently money to repair and modernize the ship. In 1980s most of such ships were added to USSR armory. Nowadays RF Navy stocks seven ships and one more ship “Admiral Chabanenko” is getting to modernize.
