Project history

Built in Italy under Soviet order for service in the Far East. Design of Ansaldo. They had Italian numbers PS8 and PS26 under which passed to Vladivostok where 12.12.1934 were been accepted by Soviet Union and received armament. They were equipped by triple-shaft diesel machinery, on trials without armament shown 20.5-21kts, but in service conditions reached no more than 18.5kts. They differed by extremely low metacentric height (13cm in worst loading condition). The design provided replacement of 102mm gun No2 by 1 triple 450mm TT, however in practice it was not realised.

Modernizations

early 1950s, both: - 3 x 1 - 102/60; + 2 x 1 - 100/56 B-34-USM, radar

Naval service

Both were stricken in 1959, then Kirov was converted to barrack ship PKZ-89. Dzerzhinskiy in 1961 ran ashore during a storm on Island Shikotan (Kuriles).
