The
Skory
class
were the first
destroyers
built for the
Soviet Navy
after
World War II
. Seventy (70) ships were built between 1949 and 1953. The Soviet designation was
Project 30bis
.
Design
[
edit
]
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 machinery and main armament was essentially identical to those of the
Ognevoy
-class destroyers but the boilers employed forced draught for increased power.
Modernisation
[
edit
]
The ships were modernised in the 1950s with new anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine mortars and updated sensors (new radar and sonar). One bank of torpedo tubes were removed and extra accommodation (deckhouses) added.
Ships

70 ships were built for both the Soviet navy and for export, this is the largest production run for any large Soviet surface warship.
