"The second and last phase of the certification tests is over. It was conducted at test sites of the Northern Fleet in the Barents Sea. The ship’s Kalibr and Shtil weapon systems were seen in action. All went well. The ship is about to make a voyage to Kaliningrad now." the shipyard’s spokesman said.

Admiral Grigorovich is returning to Yantar for the preparations for the handover to the Russian Navy. The ship will be commissioned for service with the Black Sea Fleet and will cruise to its home station in Sevastopol.

A defense industry official has told TASS that the Admiral Grigorovich is very likely to go to Sevastopol, carrying the complete load of 3M-14 Kalibr missiles that will be tested in combat in the eastern Mediterranean.
