Kola class frigate

Kola class frigate

The Kola class was the NATO reporting name for a group of frigates built for the Soviet Navy in the 1950s. The Soviet Designation was "Storozhevoi Korabl" (escort ship) Project 42. These ships were analogous to World War 2 era destroyer escorts or German Elbing class torpedo boats. The programme consisted of only 8 ships as these vessels were considered to be too expensive for series production and the smaller and cheaper Riga class frigate was built instead.

All ships were built by Yantar Yard, Kaliningrad.
