Admiral Golovko was the third Project 58 Groznyy-class guided missile cruiser, 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 in 1962, the warship initially joined the Northern Fleet. In 1967, the cruiser provided air defence to shipping at the Egyptian port of Alexandria during the Six-Day War and was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet in 1968. During the following years of service, the vessel acted as the flagship for the fleet, particularly while deployed to the Mediterranean Sea. The ship also visited other countries on diplomatic tours, including Algeria and Romania. Modernised between 1982 and 1989, Admiral Golovko acted as the flagship for the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet between 1997 and 2000. After over forty years in service, the warship was retired in 2002 and broken up.
