"The frigate is completing a sortie for trials. It is to be handed over to the fleet in May," he said.

The final check of mechanisms is a standard procedure before the handover. The source did not rule out that the frigate may sail out another time before the handover. The Navy refused comment.

Severnaya Verf Shipyard has built and is building four frigates of project 22350. The Admiral Gorshkov joined the Northern fleet in July 2018. The Admiral Golovko is ready for floating. The Admiral Isakov is being built.
