Soviet Destroyer Soobrazitelniy

The Soobrazitelny class were destroyers built for the Soviet Navy in the early 1940s. The Soviet designation was Type 7U or Ulutsheniy (improved). The ships fought in World War II. They were modifed versions of the Gnevny class destroyers. The design was finalised in 1936 after initial disappointments with the Type 7 ships. The main changes were unit machinery (4 boilers instead of 3), a strengthened hull and reduced fuel capacity. The anti-aircraft guns were re-sighted to improve firing arcs. Later in the war electronic equipment such as Radar and Asdic was supplied by the allies for these ships
