Edit: ppl at Balancer say its delayed to 17th.

Small rocket ship "Mytishchi" completed state tests and will be transferred to the Navy on December 17

MOSCOW, December 15. / TASS /. The first small rocket ship (MRK) of project 22800 Mytishchi completed state tests and will be handed over to the Navy on December 17. This was reported to journalists on Saturday in the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

Ugh, TASS confirming they're going ahead with the name change then
Last thing I saw on Balancer sounded like they were sticking with the awesome storm names.

Its the name of a Moscow suburb, seems to be going for the classic 'name a ship after a place where a bunch of recruits come from to encourage more ppl to sign up' bit from what ppl at Balancer said.
Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest etc was a much more interesting naming convention  

This is apparently the stencil they're going to be painting the name with

Why would they change names? Will they be renaming more ships?

And what does new name mean in English?

I don't know, but the original name reminds me of Kakarot:

The head small rocket ship (MRK) of project 22800 "Mytishchi", equipped with the "Caliber" complex, has been accepted into the Russian Navy. The solemn ceremony of the first naval flag raising on it was held on Monday in Baltiysk - the main base of the Baltic Fleet, in which the ship will be in military service, the press service of the fleet told TASS.

So Baltic Fleet it is.
I wonder if they will send the Buyan-Ms back to BSF once more complete?

Also

Dunno how official that is, looks like a scan from a magazine/book?

An appropriate comment from Balancer on the name

Too bad. Only one upside. Western "partners" will break fingers and tongues (and at the same time their brains), trying to write down in transcription and to say this name. Maybe this was the idea of the admirals?  

Meanwhile at Pella

Edit: some good bridge/combat center footage in this one

-Project 22800 (code "Karakurt") should replace the construction of 21631 (code Buyan-M) for the Russian Navy, whose construction is limited to 12 units.

-The Russian Ministry of Defense has contracted so far 18 ships of the project 22800.

-The construction of the first seven missile ships of the project 22,800 is carried out by the Pella plant under the contract received in accordance with the decree of the Russian government on this company’s becoming the sole supplier for this project.
According to available information, the second ship will also be part of the Baltic Fleet.

-On August 5, 2016, the contract of the Ministry of Defense of Russia for the construction of five more small rocket ships of the project 22800 for the Navy was received by JSC Zelenodolsk Plant named after AM Gorky (Zelenodolsk). At the same time, the Zelenodolsk plant from the end of 2014 actually received the temporary management of Shipyard Zaliv Shipyard in Kerch (Crimea).

-On August 22, 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed contracts for the construction of another six small rocket ships of Project 22800, which are intended for the Pacific Fleet. Four of them will be built at Amur Shipbuilding Plant JSC (Komsomolsk-on-Amur) with delivery by 2026, and two ships at Vostochnaya Verf JSC (Vladivostok) with delivery by 2023. According to unofficial information, the head ship Far East of the project 22800 may be called "Askold" (and, apparently, not in honor of the legendary character or cruiser, but in honor of the island).

-The serial construction of the MRK of the project 22800 is inhibited due to insufficient production rates for them of diesel engines M507 at PJSC Zvezda.

Exactly long names are sometimes hard to pronounce just remember Baden Württemberg frigates

They named actual warship after suburb?

Their Navy already has reputation of a total loser, are they trying to hammer it home some more?

Say what?

If they want to build many of them, better use numbers instead of names. I doubt there is 20 or so names for hurricans and storms ...

Precisely the list on wiki has only 16 storms, then it starts listing sea conditions. I think they should rename also Borey class and rename it after another Moscow suburb, perhaps Peredelkino Blizneye?

Their ssbn if I'm not wrong are called after cities that give money for the sub named after them.

2nd


and 3rd

It just feels really weird to change name once you already launch the ship

Why?

Many Soviet ships went through several names... the Kuznetsov/Tiblisi/Riga/Leonid Brezhnev... and all four Kirov class ships had two names too.

did 2nd and 3rd received engines?

did 2nd and 3rd received engines?

Who knows?
In that 2nd pic the stern of 2nd boat & bow of 4th are on the edges & its interesting that 2nd sits well above waterline but lower than 3rd and 4th is significantly higher than 3rd -> indicates progressively more stuff missing from the newer launched at least.

BTW there has been court stuff between Zvezda & Pella over the engine delays https://flotprom.ru/2019/%D0%97%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%B01/
I think is mainly about getting official designation that Pella isn't the cause of delays/having court specified contract date changes rather than animosity/seeking money.

Pantsir on 22800 coool

All those, ships, were renamed due to Soviet Union destruction.


@George

strange words bout diesels. Why people always simply extrapolate recent problems till future in Russia and never in west or China? Probpems will be solved in one yer or so and why all this drama about?
