Construction and career

The ship was built at Zhdanov Shipyard in Leningrad and was launched on 4 February 1960 and commissioned into the Northern Fleet on 30 December 1961. [2]

On January 12, 1962, the ship entered the Northern Fleet of the Soviet Navy. On May 19, 1966, the Derzky was reclassified into a large missile ship (BRK). [3]

In the period from November 20, 1967 to April 22, 1972, it was modernized and rebuilt according to Project 57-A at the shipyard named after V.I. A. A. Zhdanov. On October 20, 1970, the ship was reclassified as a large anti-submarine ship. [3]

In the period from 4 to 9 August 1973, the ship visited Havana (Cuba). On August 7, 1977, the ship was withdrawn from the fleet, mothballed and put on hold in Sayda-Guba.

On April 19, 1990, the destroyer was excluded from the Soviet Navy in connection with the delivery to the OFI for disarmament, dismantling and sale. On October 1, 1990, the crew of the ship was disbanded, and the ship was turned into a target ship. [3]

Gadzhibey (Гаджибей) was one of eight Fidonisy-class destroyers built for the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. Completed in late 1917, too late to see active service during the war, Gadzhibey's sailors joined the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. In early 1918, the destroyer assisted in the consolidation of Soviet control over Crimea, fighting against Crimean Tatar forces at Yalta and Alushta. After the German-Ukrainian invasion of Crimea, she was withdrawn to Novorossiysk and scuttled there in June to avoid capture by German forces. Raised by the Soviet Union in the late 1920s, Gadzhibey was deemed uneconomical to repair and scrapped. Her propulsion machinery was used to refit a sister ship.

Together with several other destroyers, Razumny left the Soviet Far East in July 1942 and arrived in Murmansk three months later where she began escorting convoys, both Allied ones from Britain and the United States and local ones in the White and Barents Seas. The ship was badly damaged by German bombs while she was refitting in 1943 and was under repairs for five months. Razumny spent most of the rest of the war on convoy escort duties, although she did bombard a German-occupied town during the Petsamo–Kirkenes Offensive of October 1944.
