When you look at the port where russia's 4 major fleets are located on the satellite map, you will find that in addition to the aforementioned, there is also a type of inconspicuous giant ship, that is, the Dreadnought-class anti-submarine destroyer, which was originally designed and built with a total of 15 ships, and the current stock is only 8 in service. Seven of them are the Dreadnought Class I and 1 is the Dreadnought II class. Of these, 4 are in service with the Northern Fleet and 4 by the Pacific Fleet. Of the 4 Dreadnought classes of the Northern Fleet, there is the only one of the Dreadnought II classes. Although it is still a capital ship, after all, it is a Soviet red heritage, and it is not so good, not only 7 of them have been decommissioned and dismantled, but 2 of the 8 ships in service are also repairing and upgrading. (The information is mainly compiled from the Internet at home and abroad)
This kind of destroyer dedicated to anti-submarine use is designed only by the Soviet Union in the world, and the reason has a lot to do with the lack of Russian capabilities in the 70s. In order to compete with the U.S. Navy, the development of a class of large missile ships comparable to the U.S. Navy Spruance-class destroyers (DD963), the former Soviet Union's electronic and armament is relatively backward, the volume is larger, it is difficult to do everything on a ship, can only divide labor and cooperation. The Soviet Union put forward the so-called "1 + 1 is greater than 2" idea, that is, the Type 1155 is responsible for anti-submarine and air defense, and the Type 956 destroyer is responsible for anti-ship. The Soviet Navy believed that the two warships thus combined would overwhelm the two Spruance-class destroyers of the U.S. Navy in terms of firepower.
Dreadnought-class Type 1155 large anti-submarine ship (Russian: Большие пртиволодочные корабраббои проекта 1155, English: Type Project 1155 Anti-submarine Destroyers, Russian code: Frigate Bird, Russian: Фрегат, NATO first ship Dreadnought, Russian: «Удалой», English: Udaloy. The Udaloy Class Destroyer is a large Soviet/Russian-built ship with anti-submarine as its main task, nato classifies it as a destroyer type, and in the Soviet/Russian Navy as a separate ship type - large anti-submarine ship (Russian: Большоой проотиволодочный корабль «БПК» ). The Dreadnought class provides anti-submarine support for the ocean-going fleet, has no long-range anti-ship capability, and is designed to cooperate with the Modern-class Type 956 destroyers, which are divided into anti-submarine and anti-ship tasks. The main armament was a pair of quad missile launchers arranged at the bow of the ship, firing UPK-5 anti-submarine missiles (NATO code name: SS-N-14 "quartz").
The Dreadnought class was originally planned to build 15 ships, but actually began construction of 13 ships, 2 were cancelled, 8 were in active service, 1 was sealed, and 4 were decommissioned. The last 650 Admiral Chabaniankov (Russian: Адмирал Чабаненко, English: Admiral Chabanenko) reloaded the bow 2×4 combined UPK-5 into a P-270 anti-ship missile (NATO code: SS-N-22 "Sunburn"). Called Type 1155.1 anti-submarine ship (Russian: Большие противолодочдоччые корабли проекта 1155.1, NATO called Dreadnought II class destroyers, English: Udaloy II class Destroyers).
The first ship, Dreadnought, joined the construction sequence of the Soviet Navy on 14 April 1976, started construction on 23 July 1977 at the Jantar Shipyard (Factory No. 111) in Kaliningrad Oblast, launched on 5 February 1980 and commissioned on 31 December 1980. He joined the Northern Fleet on 24 January 1981. Construction of the 12th admiral Panteleev began on 28 January 1988, was launched on 7 February 1990, and commissioned on 19 December 1991; construction was interrupted on 25 December 1991. The Russian Navy believes that the anti-submarine force of the Type 1155 anti-submarine ship is too weak, and adds the anti-ship capability on the basis of the original basic type, developing the Type 1155.1 (Dreadnought II. class), and the modified ship is actually built with only one, launched on June 16, 1994, and commissioned in the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy on January 28, 1999.
A table was made based on Wikipedia data, where the green background was the dreadnought-class ships served by the Northern Fleet and the white background was the dreadnought-class ships of the Pacific Fleet. Gray is the dismantled and decommissioned Dreadnought-class ship.
1. The Dreadnought-class destroyer on the satellite map
Without a careful search on the satellite map, find 2 Dreadnought classes of the Northern Fleet and 1 Dreadnought class of the Pacific Fleet, both of which serve as capital ships and other larger capital ships, such as the Glory class, docked in the core area of the port. No matter how old you are, the capital ship is the capital ship, and it should not be underestimated.
The Russian Northern Fleet, the Dreadnought class of the Murmansk military port, can be seen to be the Dreadnought I class, the bow has two main guns, from the satellite point of view, completely invisible to the large 4-piece anti-submarine missile. Below is a large training ship, which may be equipped with an aircraft carrier or other large warship.
Panorama of the capital ship berth area of the Murmansk military port, I think netizens must be able to identify other capital ships.
The Russian Pacific Fleet, two Dreadnought classes in the port of Vladivostok, can be seen that this is both Dreadnought I class, the bow has 2 main guns, the stern has two helipads and hangars. There are anti-aircraft missile launchers in front of the hangar and in the bow. These two aprons on the stern are very personal and rare. Can be used as a recognition feature.
A full view of the Vladivostok military port shows a huge Glory-class guided-missile cruiser and Russia's only electronic reconnaissance ship, which has just participated in the 2021 Sino-Russian joint military exercise. As shown in the following figure
On October 23, 2021, the Navies of China and Russia organized the first joint cruise at sea, which attracted much attention from the outside world. 10 warships and 6 carrier-based helicopters passed through the Tsugaru Strait from the Sea of Japan and surrounded the Japanese archipelago, in addition to the Nanchang, a large destroyer of 10,000 tons as the focus of the formation, the Russian Navy also dispatched a rare large warship to "take the lead". When passing through the Osumi Strait on the 23rd, the "Royal Photographer" Maritime Self-Defense Force took photos of the "same frame" of the two command ships of the Sino-Russian naval joint formation. Compared with the modern, simple and mighty Nanchang ship, the command ship of the Russian Navy "Marshal Krylov" with hull number 331 is much larger, after all, this ship is 211 meters long, longer than the Nanchang ship that publicly available information shows is 180 meters, and the full load displacement is 24,000 tons, almost twice that of the Nanchang ship. This "same frame" photo comes from Xinhua News Agency, and in the distance is a Burke-class ship. The "Marshal Krylov" is a space monitoring and control ship currently used as the command ship of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy. It was the No. 2 of two Type 1914 "Zodiac" class integrated survey ships, launched in 1987 and joined the Soviet Navy's Pacific Fleet in 1990, while the No. 1 ship was Marshal Niedrin, which entered service in 1984, also served in the Pacific Fleet, but was retired in 1998.
2. Appearance of the Dreadnought-class destroyer
The Dreadnought class is 163.5 meters long, 19.3 meters wide, has a draft of 7.79 meters, a standard displacement of 6,930 tons, and a full load displacement of 7,570 tons. The Model 1155 uses an all-fuel power unit used in combination with COGAG. Two sets of M-9 all-fuel power system, 61000 hp theoretical maximum output power, dt-59 type accelerator composed of two 22500 hp M-8KF gas turbines and two 8500 hp M-62 gas turbines as the core of the D-090 cruise thrust machine. The Type 1155 adopted fixed-pitch propellers because the Soviet Union did not yet have the ability to manufacture high-power variable-pitch propellers. Through the combination of fixed pitch propellers and reversible gearbox structure and hydraulic couplers, the 1155 ships can also complete direct reversing during sailing. Maximum speed of 35 knots, range: 2400 nautical miles / 32 knots; 4500 nautical miles / 18 knots.
The Dreadnought-class destroyer, numbered 695, featured 2 main ship guns on the bow and 2 x 4-mounted SS-N-14 anti-submarine missile launchers, which were very significant from this point of view, but less so from the satellite map. This design is not all at once to remind you of the Modern class guided-missile destroyer

Mount Whitney is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility.
The 404-class destroyer (dismantling) can be seen in quadboard SS-N-22 (3M-80 Bison) "Sun hot" anti-ship missile barrels, the Hyundai class focuses on anti-ship and air defense, so you can also see 2 SA-N-7 "Oxfly"/3S90 "Hurricane" anti-aircraft missile launchers. There is only one main ship gun in the bow.
The Dreadnought II class, number 650, is the only Dreadnought II class ship (in service) that can be seen removing a bow gun from the Dreadnought II class, pictured in a joint exercise with Western countries in 2011. The Russian destroyer RFS Admiral Chabanenko (DD 650) departs Naval Station Norfolk, Va., for the at-sea phase of FRUKUS 2011 June 27, 2011. FRUKUS stands for the participating countries: France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. It is a two-week exercise aimed to improve maritime security through open dialogue and increased training between the participating navies.

3. Military equipment on the dreadnought class
【Radar and electronic equipment】The first two ships of the Type 1155 anti-submarine ship are equipped with two MR-320 (МР-320) "Топаз-2/Topaz-2", NATO code name "Strut Pair/Pillar Pair" air-to-sea warning radar, located on the top of the mast and mast. Starting from Ship 3, it was equipped with 1 "Pillar Pair" (top of the front mast) and 1 MR-760 (МР-760) "Фрегат-МА/Frigate Bird-MA" three-coordinate air-to-sea search radar, and nato nicknamed "Top Plate-С/Top Plate C" (top of the rear mast). 3 MR-201/MR-212 Volga-type anti-sea surveillance navigation radars (NATO nickname "Palm Frond/Palm Leaf"), I-band, mounted on the front of the first layer of the platform front of the mast, 1 on the left and right sides of the second platform. Two MR-212 (МР-212) "Дракон/Feilong" SS-N-14 anti-submarine missile fire control radar (F-band), NATO nickname "Eye Bowl/Eyeball", arranged on the left and right sides of the cab roof.
【Anti-submarine and anti-ship missiles】The 1155 anti-submarine ship is the main armament of anti-submarine, the early ships are 2 URPK-3 (УРК-3)"Метееель/Blizzard" type boxed anti-submarine missile launchers, arranged on the left and right sides of the bridge, fixed elevation angle of about 16 °, launcher model КТ-Р-1134А (i.e. КТ-106), launched 85R (85Р) anti-submarine missiles, with a range of 55 km and 4 per ammunition. The warhead is the AT-2UM (АТ-2УМ) anti-submarine torpedo, also known as the E53-72. It is also said that the warhead is the AT-1 type, also known as the EA-45-70A. In the 1980s, both the new ships and the original ships were equipped with UPK-5 (УРК-5) "Раструб-Б/Flared Mouth-B" anti-submarine anti-ship dual-purpose missile system, and the original old ships were also equipped with this model. The modified missile system launcher model is КТ-М-1134А (i.e. КТ-100), using an 85RU (85РУ) missile, with a warhead of the UMGT-1 (УМГТ-1) 400 mm torpedo, also known as the E45-75A. In order to be able to attack both underwater and surface targets at the same time, the two configurations of missiles are generally equipped with two in each launcher. (УРПК-3 and УРК-5 NATO both nato code name SS-N-14, nicknamed "Silex/Quartz", also known as SS-N-14A and SS-N-14B respectively).
【Other equipment】Two AK-100 single-barrel 100mm naval guns are arranged in a ladder at the head. Four AK630 six-barrel 30mm close-in guns are arranged in a rectangular shape at the left and right sides of the mid-section superstructure. Two quadruple 533mm torpedo tubes were arranged on either side of the deck room behind the long first floor to fire anti-submarine or anti-ship torpedoes. Two 12-tube RBU6000 anti-submarine deep-penetrating projectiles, arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the tail deck room. 2 Ka-27A "Snail" (Helix) helicopters, with 2 fixed lift hangars, and the helicopter control tower is located between the 2 hangar doors, protruding from the outside, with a wide view. On the starboard side of the hangar is a "Fly Screen" helicopter entry guidance radar. The helicopter landing platform is about 20 meters long and about 18 meters wide, and there are two guide rails on the platform, and there is a winch to carry helicopters in and out of the hangar. Helicopter anti-skid nets are also available on the platform. 8 x РК-10 type 10-tube jamming rocket launchers. There are 2 mine rails on the left and right sides of the main deck of the tail, which can carry 30 mines.
This picture makes the equipment of the Dreadnought I class very clear, and it can be seen that the bow and stern of the ship have two vertical dagger anti-aircraft missile launchers, which have certain air defense capabilities. But there is no anti-ship capability. At the same time, we also see that there is also an AK630 close defense system, so ancient, it is no wonder that Datang wants to develop 730 and 1130 close defense systems.

The Type 155 is equipped with 8 vertically launched 3K95"Кинжал/Dagger" ship-to-air missiles (NATO codename SA-N-9, nicknamed "Gauntlet/Long Glove"), 4 groups are arranged in front of the AK-100 main gun on the foredeck, 2 groups are located at the end of the deck room behind the long head building, arranged left and right, and 2 groups are located at the front of the deck room at the rear of the tail, arranged front and rear. Each group is a cylindrical vertical launcher with a diameter of about 1.83 m (6 feet) in the launcher cover, and each group holds 8 bombs, with a total stock of 64 ammunition.

This super-firing configuration is unusual and somewhat old-fashioned aboard modern warships. Vitse Admiral Kulakov has recently been deployed in the Indian Ocean on anti-piracy duty, and in late July 2012, led a flotilla of the Russian Northern Fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean to conduct naval drills, close to the Syrian coast.
The Russian Ministry of Defense plans to carry out a major upgrade of the Large Anti-Submarine Ship (BPC) of Admiral Vinogradov Project 1155. After a long discussion, it was decided in principle to develop an opportunity to make the BPC a multifunctional frigate. It will be equipped with caliber and C-35 cruise missiles, and most importantly, it will be the carrier of the hypersonic "zircon". In addition, the air defense capabilities of Admiral Vinogradov will be significantly enhanced. The frigate is planned to become part of the Pacific Fleet. According to experts, the Russian vessel will be one of the most powerful in the Far East. The Vinogradov will be the second vessel of the 1155 project and will undergo a major upgrade. The first is the upgraded "Marshal Shaposhnikov", which this year carried out operational tests: it received a launcher of caliber and H-35 cruise missiles.
