The destroyer “Taszkient”, known as the “Blue Cruiser”, was one of the most recognizable ships of the Soviet fleet. Built in Italy, it served in the Soviet Navy from 1939 and gained fame during dramatic supply operations during the Siege of Sevastopol. Despite repeated attempts at destruction by the German air force, it survived dozens of air raids, becoming a symbol of Soviet perseverance and courage. Ultimately sunk in 1942, it was later raised but scrapped in 1945 due to repair costs. The period of active service and the use of the “Taszkient” fall within the years of World War II.
