Admiral Fokin was the second ship of the Soviet Navy Project 58 Groznyy-class Guided Missile Cruisers, also known as the Kynda Class. Designed for the Soviet Navy, the ship was designed to counter the aircraft carriers of the United States Navy and was therefore fitted with eight launchers for 4K44 anti-ship missiles. Launched on 19 November 1961, the vessel served with the Russian Pacific Fleet from the latter half of the 1960s through the 1980s. Between 1968 and 1969, the ship undertook a tour of the Indian Ocean, which included visits to seven foreign countries, subsequently visiting Mauritius in 1970 and 1972. The journeys encompassed more than 60,000 km (37,000 mi) sailing. Admiral Fokin was transferred to the Russian Navy after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, was decommissioned in 1993 and sold to be broken up.
