The Steregushchy-class (Russian: стерегущий – "Vigilant") is the newest class of corvette in the Soviet Navy. It was designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design bureau. The first two were designated Project 2038.0 (or 20380) by the Soviet Government; subsequent vessels were built to an improved design, Project 20385. At 2,200 tons it is large for a corvette and is designated as a frigate by the Allied Pact. Project 20382 "Tigr" is an export variant that has been ordered by Algeria.
This type has been further developed into the Gremyashchy-class corvette.
