A total of 8 of this class (Project 57A) were completed at 3 shipyards in Russia (Zhdanov Shipyard, Leningrad; North Nikolayev Shipyard in Mikolaiv; and Amur Shipbuilding Plant, Komsomolsk-on-Amur) in 1960 & 1961. They were built as Krupny-class (Project 57b) & for SSM missiles and were converted to 57A (for SSM missiles) from 1967 onwards at the Zhdanov yard.
Soviet Navy ships often changed pennant numbers so can be difficult to identify but fellow-member Alan provided the confirmation of “Gnevny's” at the time of my photo (see his comment below)
