The Soviet/Russian Navy's Sovremenny-class destroyer 'Bezuprechny', photographed at Portsmouth during a 5-day goodwill visit to the port from July 9 - 13, 1990.
The 'Bezuprechny' (which translates as 'Irreproachable') was built at the Zhdanov Shipyard in what was then Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). She was laid down on January 29, 1981 and launched on July 25, 1983. Once fitted out, she was commissioned on November 6, 1985 and became part of the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet. The vessel was transferred to reserve in August 1994 and moved to the Northern Shipyard in St. Petersburg for repairs and modernisation, but due to a lack of funding she was decommissioned and broken up, having spent less than 10 years in active service.
