The Gremyashchiy class (Russian: Гремящий, lit. 'Thunderous'), Russian designation Project 20385, is an update of the Steregushchiy-class corvettes of the Russian Navy[5] at a cost of 150 million $. This follow-on project was designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg. The first ship was laid down on 26 May 2011[citation needed] and the official laying down ceremony took place on 1 February 2012.[citation needed] Although classified as corvettes by the Russian Navy, these ships carry sensors and weapon systems akin to frigates and, as a result, are so classified by NATO.[6]
