Destroyer Bystry
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 Bystry 01 December 1948 is enlisted in the lists of the ships of the Soviet Fleet. Laid down on 20 February 1950 at the Shipyard named after 61 kommunara, Nikolaev (yard No.1107), launched on 28 June 1950, commissioned on 19 December 1950 and 14 January 1951 was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet.

08 March 1958 the ship was removed from active service and was berthed in reserve.

31 July 1979 the ship was excluded from the lists of the Black Sea Fleet and scrapped.
