Okrylyonny was a {{sclass|Sovremenny|destroyer}} of the Soviet and later Russian navy.{{Cite web |url=http://russianships.info/eng/warships/project_956.htm |title=Destroyers - Project 956 |website=Russianships.info |access-date=2020-12-17}}
Development and design
{{Main|Sovremenny-class destroyer}}
The project began in the late 1960s when it was becoming obvious in the Soviet Navy that naval guns still had an important role particularly in support of amphibious landings, but existing gun cruisers and destroyers were showing their age. A new design was started, employing a new {{convert|130|mm|in|adj=on|0}} automatic gun turret.
The Sovremenny-class ships were {{convert|156|m|ft}} in length, with a beam of {{convert|17.3|m|ftin}} and a draught of {{convert|6.5|m|ftin}}.
