Admiral Levchenko is a Russian ASW destroyer of the Udaloy class. The ship was laid down in 1982 and was commissioned in the Soviet Navy in 1988. After the fall of the Soviet Union the ship continued to serve in the Russian Navy with the Northern Fleet. She was named after admiral Gordey Levchenko.

History

In 2010 Admiral Levchenko was part of the Russian operations to combat piracy off the Somali coast.[citation needed]

By 2020, she was reported inactive due to an overhaul.[2] The overhaul includes upgrading ship's fire-fighting systems, onboard electronics, new cooling units and shut-off valves. The ship should also receive Russia's newest Otvet anti-submarine missile system. She was expected to return to service in late 2022[4] but was reported active post-refit as of May 2022.

On 26 May 2022, the destroyer conducted exercises in the Barents Sea.[5]

On 8 September 2022, Admiral Levchenko held exercises along the Northern Sea Route, along with LST Aleksandr Otrakovsky, tanker Sergey Osipov and tug Pamir.[6] On 10 October, the three ships returned to Severomorsk.[7]

On 10 June 2024, Admiral Levchenko was reported by Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk[i] to be on fire in the Barents Sea.[8][9][10][11][12] An explanation was given that, owing to sanctions on Russia, the ship's gas turbine engines produced by Zorya-Mashproekt in Ukrainian Mykolaiv could no longer be serviced, leading to the fire.[11]
