Ballistics

Overview
The Major Naval Shipbuilding Program of 1936 included the development of squadron escort cruisers; their main task was to protect battleships from enemy light forces. The Leningrad Design Institute proposed a preliminary design of a new light cruiser in 1937. The ship borrowed the overall gun arrangement, hull silhouette, layout, and propulsion unit from Project 26. A change of leadership in the Soviet Navy and the revision of the program for the construction of a "big fleet" prevented the project from being implemented.
