Leningrad class destroyer
- Leningrad class destroyer
The "Leningrad"-class were destroyer leaders built for the Soviet Navy in the late 1930s. These large destroyers were inspired by the "contre-torpilieurs" built for the French Navy. There were two groups of three ships each. The first group was designated Project 1 and the second group Project 38 by the Soviets. These ships were the first large vessels designed and built by the Soviets after the revolution. They had several shortcomings being top heavy and having poor seakeeping.

All ships were named after Cities
