The Leningrad class flotilla leaders were among the first warships built by the new Soviet Union. They all saw action in World War 2, in both the Baltic and Black Seas.

Their armament was substantial, with the five 5.1" guns and eight 21" torpedo tubes, but their short forecastle raised questions about their seaworthiness.

Here is the ONI drawing and entry for the Leningrad class flotilla leaders, and you might want to see the "2-D models" of the ships I created, at 1:700, 1:1200, and 1:1800 scales. There are no 1:700 plastic models available of these ships.

Now would you like to return to my home page or the main drawings page?
