History: The Tashkent class were a group of destroyer leaders built for the Soviet Navy just before World War II. Only one ship was completed.
The first ship, Tashkent, was ordered under the second Five Year Plan, from the Italian OTO company of Livorno in 1935. She was considerably larger and more capable than the home built Leningrad-class destroyer leaders. Ten more ships were planned to be built in the Soviet Union to a slightly modified design (Project 48) of which 4 were started. The start of World War II meant that none were completed. The ships of the class were named after cities in the Soviet Union.
