(Vanilla) VMF Ognevoi
This ship will become a preset ship in the future.
VMF Ognevoi was the only completed ship of the Ognevoi-class destroyers (Pr.30) during WWII.
The Ognevoi-class destroyers consisted of 26 destroyers built for the Soviet Navy during and immediately after World War II. The official Soviet designation was Project 30 and Project 30K. Construction was disrupted by the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) and many ships were cancelled or scrapped. Only a single ship was completed during the war and the other 10 were finished in 1947–1950.
The specification (TTZ in Russian) for these ships was issued by the Naval staff in November 1937. The design work was done by Zhdanov Yard in Leningrad under the leadership of A. Yunovidova and approved by the government in 1939.
Hull strength was significantly increased and the hull was enlarged compared to the Project 7 ships. Longitudinal framing was used and hull plating was thicker than the project 7 ships. Hull height was increased giving extra freeboard.
The machinery consisted of two boiler rooms and two engine rooms similar to the Project 7U destroyers but in less cramped spaces. Electricity generation capacity was increased to two 100 KW plants and two 50 KW plants. An alternative design Project 30A using superheated high pressure machinery based on American designs was projected but not built.
The armament was housed in two enclosed spliterproof and weatherproof turrets in A and Y positions. This was a significant advance over the open mountings used in the Project 7 ships. The B-2LM turrets were introduced in the Tashkent and proven successful in service but had no anti aircraft capability. Anti-aircraft armament comprised 2 – 85mm guns in a twin mounting in X position and six 37mm guns in single mountings. The ships also carried two sets of quadruple torpedo tubes and 50 mines.
The ships were fitted with air warning, surface search and gunnery control Radars and sonar after the war.
