The Soviet Union accepted into service.
The design of the “Tashkent” was unusually avant-garde at the time. It was one of the few large ships capable of speeds exceeding 40 knots during World War II. After the transformation in 1942, the firepower was even upgraded to the level of light cruisers.
During World War II, her main mission was to serve as a transport ship for personnel and materials.
Among
the
Soviet ships that
transported supplies
to
Sevastopol , the “Tashkent” was quite legendary. Even the Germans knew its name. It transported supplies to the besieged Soviet army dozens of times before being hit by the Luftwaffe. In more than 90 air strikes, the Germans dropped more than 400 bombs and
10
torpedoes .
After being withdrawn to the Novorossiysk naval base, the “Tashkent” was completely blown up on the berth in an air raid on July 2. It was salvaged in 1944 and demolished in 1945 because it had no repair value.
