Ochakov is a Kara-class cruiser of the Russian Navy. Officially, the ship is stationed in the Russian Black Sea Fleet as of 2011. However, the cruiser has not been operational since the early 2000s.
History
Ochakov was laid down in the Soviet Union on 25 December 1969, launched on 30 April 1971 and was commissioned in the Soviet Black Sea Fleet on 4 November 1973. The ship was constructed in the 61 Kommunar Shipyard at Nikolayev (Mykolaiv) on the Black Sea. She was in service with the Soviet Fleet until 1991, and then joined its successor, the Russian Navy. In 2000 the ship was laid up for modification and repairs. By 2006 all work on the ship had been halted and in 2008 the ship was towed from Sevmorzavod.[1][2]
On 20 August 2011 the naval flag of Ochakov was hauled down and the ship prepared to be sold for scrap.[3][4]
