Frigate Mărășești
The warship was initially classified as a light cruiser by the Communist government and was named Muntenia. Nicolae Ceaușescu christened the ship himself on 2 August 1986.
On 2 May 1990, Muntenia was renamed Timișoara in honor of the city where the Romanian Revolution of 1989 first started. The warship was also reclassified as a destroyer*.*
However, on 27 August 1990, the destroyer was renamed Mărășești, after the Battle of Mărășești in World War I. On 1 April 2001, Mărășești was classified as a frigate by the Romanian General Staff.
