Project history

Large batch of turbine-driven destroyers of Imperial  Russian Navy. Built in many series with foreign technical help and possessed a number inter-subclass differences. Common for all ships were artillery (102mm/60 guns), powerful torpedo side salvo (from 8 to 12 450mm torpedoes in twin-and triple mounts) and, except for a lead ship, twin-shaft turbine machinery and a three-funnel outline profile.    Novik was built under the design of Putilov plant and was equipped with triple-shaft Curtis-AEG-Vulkan machinery and 6 Vulkan boilers. At the moment of commission she was one of the largest (1260t), well armed (4 102mm guns and 4 twin 450mm TTs) and fastest ships of this type in the world. On trials she shown average 36.3kts speed (maximum 37.3kts) at 41910hp.     On her construction basis for Black Sea Fleet series of Schastlivy class was designed. They differed by machinery structure (2 shafts and 5 boilers), moderated to 30kts speed and armament structure: 3 102mm guns and 5 twin TTs.

1927, Frunze: - 5 x 2 - 450 TT, 4 x 1 - 7.6/94; + 1 x 1 - 102/60, 1 x 1 - 76/28 8K, 3 x 3 - 450 TT, 2 DCR (16), mine stowage decreased to 40.

1940, Frunze: + 1 x 1 - 45/43 21K, 2 x 1 - 12.7/79

Naval service

Gromkiy was scuttled 17.6.1918 at Novorossiysk by order of Bolsheviks. Schastlivy, Pylkiy and Pospeshny in 1919 were withdrawn abroad. Schastlivy sank under tow in Aegean sea, remaining ships were returned to the Whites and in November, 1920 were withdrawn to Bizerte where they were BU. Damaged Bystry has been abandoned at Sevastopol; after the Civil war she was commissioned by Soviet Navy.

Frunze 21.9.1941 was sunk by German aircraft at Tendra plait (Crimea)
