I was hoping Mistralskis would be called Borodino and Schoengraben. 8)

On Wednesday, a staple of the "Northern Shipyard", an official ceremony of laying the first head corvette "Gremiashchii" Project 20 385.
.The project was developed in design office "Diamond" is the result of the modernization project 20380. On the same day at the plant were laid Project 22350 frigate "Admiral Golovko" for the Russian Navy.

Wasnt Sevastopol selected as a name for third Project 677 unit?
Yes. But neither ship is commissioned, so names can change. For example, Yuri Dolgoruky SSBN was laid down as Sankt-Peterburg (currently an SSK). Name can even change after commissioning, like a bunch of Akula class SSNs. Also, Gremiaschy (the new corvette) is a name of a Sovremenny class destroyer which is still commissioned with the Northern Fleet.
You can't have two commissioned ships with the same name. That's the only rule. The rest is up for grabs.

Good to see the Far East getting some lovinFirst Russian Mistral to be named "Vladivostok"
http://www.primorye24.ru/pressa/1200...adivostok.html
Is that new in Russian Navy ?
Generally tradition was to name capital ships after admirals... not cities ?
Moskva (Slava Class), Severodvinsk (Graney class), St Petersburg (Lada class), Tomsk , Voronezh, Kursk, Smolensk (all Oscar class), etc etc.
So yeah, this isnt a new thing.
All aircraft carriers (except Varyag, but that was provisional name anyway) in USSR were called after republican or provincial capitals: Moskva, Kiev, Minsk, Novorossiysk, Tbilisi (renamed to Kuznetsov only after the fall of the Union), Ulyanovsk (Unfinished). Vladivostok and Sevastopol fit neatly into the pattern — technically Crimean capital is Simferopol, but Sevastopol is larger and better known.

Sarkozy has been pretty good for the French mil-industrial complex. First the mistrals, now the rafale, with a sprinkle of other orders in between.
Can't wait to see Vladivostok in the navy
