The Ukrainian frigate Dnipropetrovsk was the former Soviet frigate (guard ship) Bezzavetnyy of the Burevestnik-class (NATO codename: Krivak I) built for the Soviet Navy in the late 1970s.

On 12 February 1988, under the command of Captain 2nd Rank Vladimir Bogdashin, the ship intentionally[1][2] nudged the U.S. missile cruiser USS Yorktown in Soviet territorial waters while Yorktown was claiming innocent passage.

In summer of 1997 during the division of the Black Sea fleet she was transferred to the Ukrainian Navy, receiving the name of Dnipropetrovsk.
