So far, only one ship in the Project 1941 Kapusta class has been built, SSV - Ural. This vessel is a huge communications and operations ship, and is attached to the Pacific Fleet. However, due to problems with the ship's advanced equipment, it has mostly been laid up since its commissioning in 1989.

Ural was built at Baltisky Shipyard in St. Petersburg. The keel was laid down on July 25, 1981. It was launched in May 1983 and commissioned on December 30, 1988. The vessel was taken out of use a short time later, and there are now plans to either sell or decommission the ship.[265]
