A. A. Zhdanov Shipyard was the Soviet-era Leningrad surface-warship yard associated with the plant now known as Severnaya Verf. Public naval references use the full A. A. Zhdanov form for Project 1135/Krivak-family construction, while wider industry references identify the same Korabelnaya Street shipbuilding site through its Shipyard No. 190, Zhdanov, and later Severnaya Verf naming periods.
1 weaponsThe yard's lineage begins with Putilov Shipyard in 1912 and runs through Soviet numbered-plant and honorific naming. During the Zhdanov period, the Leningrad plant specialized in large naval surface combatants, including escort ships, destroyers, missile cruisers, anti-submarine ships, minesweepers, and related civilian vessels. GlobalSecurity's industry profile places the site at Korabelnaya Street 6 in Saint Petersburg and describes its military work alongside commercial shipbuilding capacity.
The full A. A. Zhdanov name appears where weapon and vessel-family sources identify that exact Soviet-era yard rather than only the shorter Zhdanov label or the modern Severnaya Verf successor. Project 1135 sources identify A. A. Zhdanov in Leningrad as one of the construction yards for the Krivak-family anti-submarine frigates, and Project 956/Sovremenny references preserve the same Leningrad yard lineage for later destroyer construction. The name describes a historically specific Soviet production organization, not a separate design bureau or ship operator.
Naval Encyclopedia identifies A. A. Zhdanov in Leningrad, Yantar in Kaliningrad, and Zaliv in Kerch as Project 1135 construction yards; the catalog record covers the Krivak-family branches built across those yards.

The linked catalog record covers Chinese Project 956E/956EM export destroyers, while industry and class references place the underlying Sovremenny production lineage at the Leningrad yard during and after the Zhdanov naming period.

Naval Encyclopedia places Project 1135 development at the Northern Design Bureau in 1964-1966; construction later involved A. A. Zhdanov in Leningrad and other Soviet yards.

Project 1135 references place original-series construction from the late 1960s and identify A. A. Zhdanov among the yards used for the long Krivak-family production run.

Industry references describe the yard's return to the Severnaya Verf/Northern Shipyard name in 1989, ending the Zhdanov-era public naming period.

Open sources overlap the full A. A. Zhdanov label with Zhdanov Shipyard, Shipyard No. 190, and Severnaya Verf for the same Leningrad yard lineage. Alternate labels are kept out of aliases because those names are already represented by separate published manufacturer records.
