Shipbucket

Third of its kind, and this time (like in recently I've been customed) I choose to drawn it completely from the start, thanks to some new books I had.
Also I try to present the class as its whole:

The basic Pr.56 in its early and later underwater hull form and indicating the general trend of the later day guise of the non-rebuild versions:




The Pr.56PLO ASW rebuild:


And the Volna SAM system conversions, the Pr.56K prototype and the Pr.56A series of rebuilds:




And finaly the Pr.56-M prototype/series of KSShch anti-ship missiles, and its rebuild Pr.56U version:

Thank you very much for all the work you have done on these ships, gives this left over relic of the Cold war a real buzz, really like the Pr.56M / U

Pretty remarkable how much utility the Soviets were able to extract out of a conventional gun destroyer hull designed to be nothing but. Makes one wonder what the USN could have done with the endless swarm of Fletcher/Gearing/Sumners without any cost of sense restrictions.

Well pr.56 was the "ultimate" gun destroyer, last of its kind. The durability of it came from it beeing basicly one of the best seaboats there were in soviet fleet, thanks to the high bow. Also, they were fast, even in the 80's they could easily reach over 35 knots, and the missile conversions could also make more than 33knots. When they were brand-new, they could approach 40 kts with the fastest examples

A fine set of drawings, representing Soviet engineering in all its glory. Good work,and a lesson to us all in Shipbucket standard...
