The '''''Admiral Grigorovich'' class''' (also referred to as '''Krivak V class'''), Russian designation '''Project 11356R''', is a class of frigates built by the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad for the Russian Navy and Indian Navy, with a cost of $450–500 million. Based on the {{sclass|Talwar|frigate|4}}, six ships were ordered for the Russian Black Sea Fleet under two contracts in 2010 and 2011 as a complement to the {{sclass|Admiral Gorshkov|frigate|0}} frigates.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://vpk-news.ru/news/29657 |title=На фрегате "Адмирал Григорович" поднят Андреевский флаг |language=ru |date=11 March 2016 |work=vpk-news.ru |access-date=5 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220194700/http://vpk-news.ru/news/29657 |archive-date=20 December 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
==History== By 2010–2011, it was decided the Russian Navy will procure six vessels based on the proven {{sclass|Talwar|frigate|0}} design, mainly due to repeated delays with production of ''Admiral Gorshkov'' frigates and because of the urgent need for new frigates necessary for modernization of the Black Sea Fleet.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/legacy_files/files/publication/160310_Schwartz_AdmiralGorshkov_Web.pdf |title=Admiral Gorshkov Frigate Reveals Serious Shortcomings in Russia's Naval Modernization Program |first=Paul |last=Schwartz |date=1 March 2016 |website=Center for Strategic and International Studies |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013190110/https://csis-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/legacy_files/files/publication/160310_Schwartz_AdmiralGorshkov_Web.pdf |archive-date=2016-10-13}}</ref> The Yantar Shipyard won the contract for construction of the frigates and three vessels were to be completed in four years. Previously, six ships of the same design, known as ''Talwar'' class, were built for the Indian Navy between 1999 and 2011 by the Baltic Shipyard, Saint Petersburg and Yantar Shipyard, Kaliningrad.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rian.ru/defense_safety/20101218/310453755.html |title=В Калининграде заложили первый фрегат нового проекта для ВМФ РФ |language=ru |website=RIA Novosti |date=18 December 2010 |access-date=5 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101222182842/http://rian.ru/defense_safety/20101218/310453755.html |archive-date=22 December 2010 |url-status=live}}</ref>
