Service

In November 2016, in the course of the Russian military campaign in Syria, Admiral Grigorovich participated in a large-scale operation to strike targets in Syria by launching Kalibr cruise missiles.[2]

On 25 August 2018, the Black Sea Fleet said Admiral Grigorovich, along with similar frigate Admiral Essen, were making a ″planned passage from Sevastopol to the Mediterranean Sea″ to join the Russian Navy’s Mediterranean task force.[3]

gollark: I mean, apart from opportunity cost and such, but it's not very hard to set up.
gollark: If you have a server and domain available (also lots of RAM), why not?
gollark: It seems to be under active development so I assume they'll fix stuff eventually.
gollark: I decided to run dendrite, so technically I'm reachable on matrix.osmarks.net now? It's somewhat flaky because dendrite is quite experimental. Synapse would have used waaaay too much RAM.
gollark: Also, instead of consisting of multiple disconnected IRC networks, any servers can federate and participate in rooms together.
