Operational history

On 6 April 2003, Marshal Shoposhnikov left port, along with Admiral Panteleyev and the tanker Vladir Koechitsky, to start a deployment to the Indian Ocean, where exercises with the Indian Navy were planned for May 2003.[1] A number of Black Sea Fleet ships, plus, possibly, cruise missile submarines, joined the deployment.

On 6 May 2010, Russian Naval Infantry deployed from Marshal Shaposhnikov rescued the hijacked tanker MV Moscow University. The entire crew escaped unharmed.[2] Moscow University had been hijacked by Somali pirates on 5 May 2010 off Socotra Island.[3] The commandos from Marshal Shaposhnikov detained 10 pirates and killed one during the release of the tanker.[4]

In November 2014, Marshal Shaposhnikov was part of a four-ship deployment to international waters off Australia.[5] The deployment was believed to be linked to the 2014 G-20 Brisbane summit and growing tensions between the two nations.[5]
