Most modern Russian destroyers in service are 24 Orphey class, laid down 1915, serving in Northern
Fleet. Oldest destroyers are 24 Becharskiy Class, laid down 1904, serving in Baltic and Black Sea Feets. Government of Russian
Federation are considering laying down new class of Destroyers, named after cities in Russian Federation. Tashkent class will
begin standardization of Russian destroyer armament on 130mm main gun.

Estimated overall
survivability and seakeeping ability: Relative margin of stability: 1.34 Shellfire needed to sink: 398 lbs / 181 Kg
= 5.9 x 5.1 " / 130 mm shells (Approx weight of penetrating shell hits needed to sink ship excluding critical hits) Torpedoes
needed to sink: 0.3 (Approx number of typical torpedo hits needed to sink ship) Relative steadiness as gun platform:
70 % (Average = 50 %) Relative rocking effect from firing to beam: 0.21 Relative quality as seaboat: 1.21
Hull
form characteristics: Block coefficient: 0.445 Sharpness coefficient: 0.30 Hull speed coefficient 'M': 9.75 'Natural
speed' for length: 19.42 kts Power going to wave formation at top speed: 65 % Trim: 58 (Maximise stabilty/flotation
= 0, Maximise steadiness/seakeeping = 100)
Estimated hull characteristics & strength: Underwater volume absorbed
by magazines and engineering spaces: 193.5 % Relative accommodation and working space: 81.0 % (Average = 100%) Displacement
factor: 56 % (Displacement relative to loading factors) Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 0.50 (Structure
weight / hull surface area: 33 lbs / square foot or 161 Kg / square metre) Relative longitudinal hull strength: 1.03 (for
15.26 ft / 4.65 m average freeboard, freeboard adjustment 4.69 ft) Relative composite hull strength: 0.54
