Originally assigned Project 2. [1] 2 Guard Ship: Uragan-class: 1926 633 8 Uragan-class Series I. Originally assigned Project 1 but poor test results led to its number being swapped with the Leningrad-class.

Trials with similarly shaped motor launches suggested that the hull's propulsive efficiency would be 1 knot (1.9 km/h; 1.2 mph) less than planned, and this was accepted in the November 1938 revision as a maximum speed of 27.5 knots (50.9 km/h; 31.6 mph). However, a new propeller design proved to be more efficient and was predicted to increase ...
Battleship Division 1 was active in the Pacific at least until 1946, according to U.S. Navy records with the National Archives and Records Administration. [3] On June 7, 1954, under the direction of Battleship Division 2, Norfolk , Virginia, the four battleships of the Iowa class operated together for the only time under the flag of RAdm George ...
In the late 1970s, the Soviets realised the need for a larger, more seaworthy craft with better gun armament and higher positioned air search radars.In the Tarantul class, both the single 76 mm (3.0 in) main gun and the two 30 mm (1.2 in) Gatling-type guns are used for air defence, together with a comprehensive electronic warfare suite.
Kirov burned .8 kg (1.8 lb) of fuel oil per unit of horsepower compared to Kalinin ' s .623 kg (1.37 lb). Furthermore Kirov produced only 113,500 shaft horsepower (84,600 kW ) on trials while Voroshilov made 122,500 shp (91,300 kW) and was almost a full knot faster.
Scale model of the Project 23550 patrol ship. Project 23550 patrol ships have a planned displacement of 8,500 tonnes (8,400 long tons; 9,400 short tons), a length of 114 metres (374 ft 0 in) and a draught of 6 metres (19 ft 8 in). [10] The ships will be equipped with two Raptor-class patrol boats, a Ka-27 helicopter and small hovercraft. The ...
The response was to introduce the Blackburn Buccaneer, a carrier-based strike aircraft that had the performance required to approach and attack Sverdlov-class ships at ultra-low level, using toss bombing attacks to deliver nuclear ordnance, while remaining outside the 5 km effective range of the Soviet 100 mm (3.9 in) and 37 mm (1.5 in) guns.
The turbines, designed to produce 100,000 shaft horsepower (75,000 kW), were intended to give the Tashkents a maximum speed of 42.5 knots (78.7 km/h; 48.9 mph) and Tashkent herself reached 43.5 knots (80.6 km/h; 50.1 mph) from 130,000 shp (97,000 kW) during her sea trials in 1938, although her armament had yet to be fitted.
