, and so Saturn has been commissioned to design new engines for the ''Admiral Gorshkov'' and ''Admiral Grigorovich''-class frigates. USC forecast these new engines will be available in 2017-18, allowing ships to be commissioned from 2020. UEC Saturn announced in April 2017 that Saturn's marine turbines are now in production and undergoing sea trials prior to delivery. This is the first venture by a Russian manufacturer into the production of large marine gas turbines, aimed at completely replacing the earlier Ukrainian equivalents.
