Ship project history: News about mining of
British destroyer Hunter 13/5/1937 during
Civil war in Spain has served as an occasion to revision of Soviet shipbuilding program. At the session
of the Political bureau in August, 1937 project 7 with linear machinery arrangement has been recognised by "harmful", and
on its basis the project 7u ("improved") with
machinery arranged en echelon was developed, approved 29/8/1938.
Outwardly project 7u destroyers differed from predecessors by two-funneled outline profile whereas the
hull, superstructures and armament placing remained former. Because of a
shortage of Kharkov turbine factory-built turbines
turbines for 8 ships were bought in the Great Britain. As they differed
by smaller designed power, British turbine-driven destroyers developed lower
speed (36-37kts), whereas Strashny has shown on trials 39.6kts. The further decrease in an endurance, seaworthiness, and also an unsuccessful arrangement of 76mm
AA guns became the basic lacks of more dense arrangement.
