Admiral Lazarev Class Light Cruiser, laid down 1914
     Length, 163.2 m x Beam, 15.7 m x Depth, 6.2 m
          8489 tonnes normal displacement (7761 tonnes standard)
     Main battery:       9 x 15.0-cm (3 x 3; 1 superfiring)
     Secondary battery:  8 x 10.0-cm
     AA battery:         4 x  4.5-cm
     Light battery:      6 x  1.3-cm
          Weight of broadside: 537 kg
     12 TT, 53.0 cm in 3 quadruple mounts
     50 tons depth charges/mines
     Main belt, 9.0 cm; bow and stern, 3.0 cm
     Upper belt, 5.0 cm
     Armor deck, average 2.0 cm
     Conning tower, 10.0 cm
     Battery armor:
          Main, 10.0 cm / secondary, 2.5 cm shields
          
     Maximum speed for 52686 shaft kw = 31.00 knots
          Approximate cruising radius, 4500 nm / 15 knots
     Typical complement: 442-575

                    Estimated cost, $3.905 million (£976,000)
          Remarks:
     Oil firing.
     Relative extent of belt armor, 118 percent of 'typical' coverage.
     Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
     Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
     Magazines and engineering spaces are cramped, with poor
     watertight subdivision.
