Krasny Kavkaz was initially tasked with confronting the U.S. warships during the 1988 Black Sea incident, but due to her technical problems the frigate Bezzavetny was dispatched instead.{{cite news | url =http://www.kp.ru/daily/25836.3/2809165/| script-title=ru:Империя наносит последний удар|newspaper =Komsomolskaya Pravda|language=Russian|author=Алексей Овчинников|date=16 Feb 2012| accessdate =7 Sep 2014 }}
