Steregushchy-class corvette

Boiky (Бойкий - Brisk) is a Steregushchy-class corvette of the Russian Navy, the third ship of that class. She was laid down in July 2005 and was launched on 15 April 2011. She was presented to the Baltic Fleet for final inspection by the Navy on 16 March 2012 ahead of her commissioning later in the year. On 16 November 2012 it was reported that the corvette had already passed the shipyard's sea trials; about 70 certificates were signed then. JSC Arsenal intended to produce a 100-mm gun mount A190-01 for the corvette, and late in 2012 the ship moved to Baltiysk acceptance base for the second phase of sea trials. This began state acceptance trials.

The corvette was handed over to the Russian navy on 14 May 2013.
