Naval News – The Provornyy is the second Project 20385 (Gremyashchy-class) corvette, which is an upgraded version of the Project 20380 Steregushchiy-class. The keel of the ship was laid on July 27, 2013. Construction progressed slowly from the beginning, in part due to Western sanctions imposed due to the Russian Federation’s annexation of Ukrainian Crimea in 2014.
