Three Project 11356 frigates built for Russian Navy will be named in honor of tsarist admirals; first of them is planned to be laid down at Yantar shipyard (Kaliningrad) in 2011, told a source in defense industry to the Central Navy Portal.

Admiral Grigorovich is going to be the first one; Admiral Essen and Admiral Kolchak will follow her. However, the names have not been approved yet, said the source.

We recall that in Soviet Navy such ships were classified as "2nd rank escort ships" and their names were adjectives expressing their combat qualities – Svirepiy [Furious], Stereguschiy [Excubant], Storozhevoi [Sentry] and so forth. Most of those ships had same-named predecessors in Russian Imperial Navy.

Frigates built for Indian Navy under the same project bear names of Indian traditional medieval arms - bow [INS Trikand], quiver [INS Tarkash], sword [INS Teg] and etc.

Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky said in Sept that Black Sea Fleet would be annually reinforced with 1-2 Project 11356 frigates since 2013 and that the fleet would have at least 5 such ships in 2015.
