Brief historical description: The "Taszkient" was built in Italy and entered service with the Soviet Union in 1939. It was one of the most technologically advanced destroyers, combining the firepower of a light cruiser with extraordinary speed. During World War II, it played a key role in supplying and transporting people to the besieged Sevastopol. This vessel was the target of numerous German air attacks—over 90 raids were recorded, with more than 400 bombs and 10 torpedoes dropped. Despite intense bombing, it survived exceptionally long, gaining an almost legendary status among the Soviets. Its story ended in 1942 when it was destroyed in an air raid, and dismantled in 1945.
