The Russian designation is Project 1241.2 Molniya-2. These ships are designed for coastal patrol and inshore anti-submarine warfare. The design is the patrol version of the Tarantul class corvette which is designated Project 1241.1 by the Russians, but is slightly longer and has diesel engines. The Ships are fitted with a dipping sonar which is also used in Soviet helicopters.
The Skoryy class were the first destroyers built for the Soviet Navy after the end of World War II. Seventy (70) ships were built between 1949 and 1953. 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 The ships were modernised in the 1950’s with new anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine mortars. The Soviet Designation was Project 30bis.
