Admiral Czabanienko is the only Udaloy II class destroyer built and active so far (project 1155.1). The unit is essentially a modernization of the project, the Udaloj I class destroyed the first analytical work on this modernization started in 1982 and aimed at creating a more universal unit than the Udaloj I ships, highly specialized in anti-submarine warfare activities. When the submarine Admiral Czabanienko entered service, it differed significantly from its predecessors. First of all, it had modified artillery and missile weapons, as well as similar, but modified electronic equipment - especially fire control systems and bow sonar. Admiral Czabanienko is still in active service. It is worth adding that she was the first Soviet / Russian ship to cross the Panama Canal after 1945 - she did so in 2008.
