Destroyer Bessmenny
Project 30bis / Skoryy Class
 

The Skoryy class were the first destroyers built for the Soviet Navy after World War II. The Soviet designation was Project 30bis. The ships were derived from the Project 30 Ognevoy-class destroyer, but were slightly larger with better sea-keeping and significantly increased endurance. These ships were longitudinally framed and completely welded. The ships were built in 101 modular pre-fabricated sections which led to rapid building times.

Their general design also remained very classical, with benches of torpedo tubes distributed between the two chimneys and the quarter deck, a more modern double turret artillery, and a powerful AA battery, according to the standards imposed in 1944-45. The machinery and main armament was essentially identical to those of the Ognevoy class destroyers but the boilers employed forced draught for increased power.

The ships were modernised in the 1950s with new anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine mortars and updated sensors (new radar and sonar). One bank of torpedo tubes were removed and extra accommodation (deckhouses) added.

In total 70 ships seems to have been built between 1949 and 1953. This was the largest operational Soviet destroyer class ever, answering the Gearing class. These ships served on the four fleets (Baltic, Arctic, Black Sea and Far East) until the end of the Cold War.

Destroyer Bessmenny 22 June 1951 is enlisted in the lists of the ships of the Soviet Fleet. Laid down on 12 September 1951 at the Shipyard named after 61 kommunara, Nikolaev (yard No.1117), launched on 31 March 1952, commissioned on 10 December 1952 and 28 December 1952 was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet.

In 1967 teh ship was modernized by Project 30BA: 1x4 57 mm ZIF-75 with Fut-Bradar instead of 92K and V-11 guns, added 2x16 RBU-2500 Uragan-2 (RGB-25), Fut-N air/surface search radar, Don navigation radar instead of Gyuys-1Mand Rif-1, GS-572 Gerkules sonar.

In June 1968 transferred from USSR to Egyptian Navy as Damietta (hull number 906, then 844). Decommissioned in 1986.
