Hetman Sahaidachny (U130/F130) (Ukrainian: Гетьман Сагайдачний) was a frigate of the Ukrainian Navy that was originally built at the Kerch Shipyard as a Project 11351 patrol ship of the Nerey / Krivak III / Menzhinskiy class. Homeported at Odesa since March 2014, she was the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy. Her major armament was a single 100 mm gun.[2] As the Russo-Ukrainian war escalated, Hetman was scuttled by Ukraine on 4 March 2022 out of fear of being captured by advancing Russian forces.
