BACKGROUND

Finally apporved in 1982 the Neustrashimy was to combat submarines and provide anti-submarine, anti-ship, and anti-aircraft defence. The Neustrashimy class was intended to replace the Krivak class but only one ship, the Neustrashimy, was completed. Construction on two other ships was halted before they could be completed and were scrapped in 1998.

NOTES:

1. Depleting the MDC of the main body will put the Frigate out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, the ship itself will be an unsalvageable sinking wreck.
2. Destroying the command tower will instantly kill the command staff and deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. Destroying the main sensory array behind the command tower will have the same effect, but the command staff will not be killed instantly.
3. Destroying the flight deck will greatly impair the Frigates ability to deploy and recover Helicopter.
4. Depleting the MDC of the propellors will leave the ship adrift until such time as they are repaired or the ship is towed back to port.

8. ELECTRONIC WARFARE SUITE Used to defeat hostile radar and Sonar, the ECM/ESM, (Electronic Counter Measures,) jammers will confuse all radar and sonar so that the ships is much harder to be detected or locked onto with radar/sonar guided weapons. This does not give away the position of the ship but it does let the enemy know that they are there. The only way that it can be defeated is with ECCM, (Electronic Counter-Counter Measures.)
   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Block Enemy Radar/Sonar
   • RANGE: 30 miles
   • RULES: Confuses all radar/sonar within 30 miles, but can be defeated by ECCM, if the ECCM operator gets a higher Sensory Instruments percentage roll against the ECM operator.
9. PK-16 CHAFF/ FLARE DECOY DISPENSORS (2): The ships counter-measures dispensors consist of two 130mm Chaff/Flare launchers. Triggered by the Principal Weapons Officer, (PWO,) they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the PWO chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the ship. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.
   01-50 Missile/s detonated by Chaff/Flare
   51-75 Missile/s loses track of target and veers away in wrong direction, (may lock onto another target)
   76-00 No effect, missile is still on target
   • Payload: Three of each type (per launcher) Reloads are automatic with 3 reloads per launcher before a manual reload is required. Stores hold 10 full reloads of the system.
10. PK-10 CHAFF/ FLARE DECOY DISPENSORS (8): The ships counter-measures dispensors consist of two 130mm Chaff/Flare launchers. Triggered by the Principal Weapons Officer, (PWO,) they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the PWO chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the ship. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.
    01-50 Missile/s detonated by Chaff/Flare
    51-75 Missile/s loses track of target and veers away in wrong direction, (may lock onto another target)
    76-00 No effect, missile is still on target
    • Payload: Three of each type (per launcher) Reloads are automatic with 3 reloads per launcher before a manual reload is required. Stores hold 10 full reloads of the system.

SYSTEMS OF NOTE:

• LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS: The frigates have sufficient Food, water, fuel and amenities to support up to 210 people for up to 6 months. In an emergency the frigate can support up to 300 people at one time, though living conditions onboard will get extremely cramped at that point.
• LONG-RANGE LASER/SATELLITE RELAY COMMUNICATIONS: The impressive communications array of the Frigate can communicate with up to 500 craft simultaneously at ranges of up to 900 miles (1,440 km). This range can be boosted indefinitely by using satellites or other spacecraft as to relay communications.
• LONG-RANGE RADAR: The radar array of the frigate is equally as impressive as the communication system, and can track and identify up to 500 craft simultaneously. The radar system has a 2,000 mile/3,200 km range.
• ENGINES: The Frigate features eight engines, consisting of two Rolls Royce Spey SM1A 34000 HP Gas Turbine engines, two Alstom1.5 MW 4400 HP Electric Motors, and four GEC-Alsthom Paxman Valenta 12 RP2000CZ, 7000 hp
• DECOYS: Sea Gnat (Outfit DLB) decoys and a Type 182 towed torpedo decoy. The Sea Gnats are mounted on Hunting Engineering 130mm six-barrel launchers for Anti-Torpedo defence.

AIRCRAFT COMPLEMENT (STANDARD):

• Ka-27 Helix HELICOPTER: 1
