Project 56M Kildin class
Guided Missile Destroyer

Initially laid down as destroyers of the Kotlin class, these were the first Soviet ships fitted with the SS-N-1 "Scrubber" anti-ship missile. Several were refitted in the early 1970s with the newer SS-N-2C anti ship missile. The ships were reclassified as Large Missile Ship (Bol'shoy Raketny Korabl' - BRK) in the mid-1960s, and as Large Anti-submarine Ship (Bol'shoy Protivolodochny Korabl' - BPK) in the mid-1970s. The last of the MOD Kildin and Kildin class destroyers were stricken in the early 1990s.
