Wreck

Wreck of Riga class frigate.

The Riga class was the Nato reporting name for class of frigates built for the Soviet Navy in the 1950s. The Soviet designation for these ships was Storozhevoi Korabl (escort ship) Project 50. The Riga class were analogous to World war II era destroyer escorts. These ships were a smaller and simpler version of the Kola class frigate. According to Conway's this simpler group of ships were ordered by Stalin himself who was concerned about the cost of large ships. The class introduced high pressure steam turbines and new radars into Soviet service. A total of 68 ships were built by Nikolayev yards (20 ships), Komsomolsk na Amure (7 ships) and Kaliningrad (the lead yard 41 ships). Most ships were decommissioned by 1980, however some were sold to China. The programme was cut short by Khruschev in 1956 as the ships were becoming obsolete.
