The Tashkent Class were a group of destroyer leaders built for the Soviet Navy just before World War II. Only one ship was completed.
The only ship, Tashkent was ordered under the second Five Year Plan, from the Italian OTO company of Livorno in 1935.
The ship was delivered without armament reaching 43 knots on trials. She was initially armed with three single 130mm guns until her main gun turrets were delivered in 1941. She was painted a cobalt blue colour and was nicknamed the "blue cruiser" by Russian sailors. She served with the Black Sea Fleet and fought during the Siege of Sevastopol making 40 supply trips through the German Blockade. On 28 June 1942 she was bombed by Stukas and managed to reach Novorosiysk but foundered in the port on 2 July 1942. Her gun turrets were salvaged for use in the destroyer Ognevoi
