History

Mitrofan Moskalenko was decommissioned after the Russian Ministry of Defence determined modernization would be as costly as buying a new ship.[1][2]

Both Aleksandr Nikolayev and Mitrofan Moskalenko were put to the auction for scrapping in 2014.[3] In 2015, with the decision of the French government to not deliver two ordered Mistral-class amphibious assault ships for the Russian Navy, it was considered to temporarily replace the Mistrals with the last two Project 1174 ships that are still in reserve.[4][5]

On May 27, 2019 the Mitrofan Moskalenko caught fire at the shipyard in the port of Severomorsk.[6]
