The Udaloy class are generally considered the Soviet equivalent of the American Spruance-class destroyers. Two different types of warships were laid down, which were designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau: Project 956 destroyer and Project 1155 large anti-submarine ship. The concept of a specialized surface ship was developed by Soviet designers. The Project 1155 dates to the 1970s when it was concluded that it was too costly to build large-displacement, multi-role combatants. The codename Udaloy comes from an archaic Russian adjective удалой, meaning daring or bold. They complement the Sovremenny-class destroyers in anti-aircraft and anti-surface warfare operations. Twelve ships were built between 19, while the thirteenth ship built to a modified design, known as Udaloy II class, followed in 1999. The Udaloy class, Soviet designation Project 1155 Fregat and Russian designation Project 11551 Fregat-M ( Russian: Фрегат, 'Fregat' meaning Frigate), are series of anti-submarine guided-missile destroyers built for the Soviet Navy, seven of which are currently in service with the Russian Navy. 2 × 10 RBU-12000 anti-submarine rocket launchers.2 × 4 553 mm torpedo tubes for SS-N-16 'Stallion' anti-submarine missiles.8 (2 × 4) SS-N-22 'Sunburn' anti-ship missiles.2 × 12 RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers.2 × 4 533 mm torpedo tubes for Type 53 torpedoes.64 (8 × 8) VLS cells for SA-N-9 'Gauntlet' surface-to-air missiles.8 (2 × 4) SS-N-14 'Silex' anti-submarine/anti-ship missiles.
