Skoryy class destroyer

The Skoryy class were the first destroyers built for the Soviet Navy after the end of World War II. Seventy (70) ships were built between 1949 and 1953. The ships were derived from the Project 30 Ognevoy class destroyer, but were slightly larger with better sea-keeping and significantly increased endurance. These ships were longitudinally framed and completely welded. The ships were built in 101 modular pre-fabricated sections which led to rapid building times The ships were modernised in the 1950’s with new anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine mortars. The Soviet Designation was Project 30bis.
