Introduction Soviet naval strategy and the role of the destroyer and destroyer escort Former Tsarist destroyers of the Novik class Soviet destroyer escorts of the Uragan class Soviet flotilla leaders: Leningrad class and flotilla leader Tashkent Other Soviet destroyers Analysis and conclusion Bibliography
Synopsis
The Soviet Navy that faced the German onslaught in 1941 boasted a mixture of modern warships, often built with foreign technical assistance, and antiquated warships from the Tsarist era that were modernized for the conflict. Some Soviet naval vessels saw limited involvement in the war against Finland in 1939-1940, but the main action occurred after the German invasion, when these destroyers escorted convoys, fought battles against other destroyers and the deadly threat posed by attacking aircraft, and provided fire support for Soviet troops. From the Gnevny class of the prewar period to the specialist destroyer leaders of the Leningrad class and the unique Tashkent , Soviet Destroyers of World War II is a detailed guide to the often forgotten destroyers of the Soviet Navy. Fully illustrated with archival photos and specially commissioned artwork, Soviet Destroyers of World War II will appeal to naval historians, or anyone interested in this little-known part of the war., An authoritative concise study of the Soviet destroyers that fought in World War II, from modernized ex-Tsarist warships to the Type 7, the modern backbone of the fleet. Sure to appeal to the many naval enthusiasts of World War II, and those interested in the little-known warships of Soviet Russia, as well as modelers and wargamers., The Soviet Navy that faced the German onslaught in 1941 boasted a mixture of modern warships, some built with foreign technical assistance, and antiquated Tsarist-era warships that were modernized as war loomed. Although Soviet naval vessels saw limited involvement in the war against Finland in 1939-40, their baptism of fire occurred after the German invasion, when these destroyers fought enemy warships, escorted convoys, transported Red Army troops and provided fire support for them - all whilst facing the deadly threat posed by the Luftwaffe. From the Novik-class vessels of World War I and the Soviet Uragan-class guardships to the Project 7 destroyers, the destroyer leaders of the Leningrad class and the unique Tashkent, this book is a detailed guide by a Soviet military specialist to the often forgotten destroyers of the Soviet Navy.
