Naval Legends: Project 7 Destroyers | World of Warships

📖 Historical ships in the game 👉 wo.ws/3kAwWlZ
🔔 / @worldofwarshipsoffici...
The Project 7 Destroyers, also known as Gnevny class are one of the most mass-produced Soviet World War II ships: on the Black Sea, they broke through to Sevastopol and Odessa with ammo, on the Baltic Sea, they defended Leningrad, on the Northern seas, they protected the Allied convoys. Gnevy-class destroyers were first designed using Italian destroyers as a model. As the ship plans were refined, and improvements were made, some of these ships served in active duty for close to 50 years!
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

Gotta admit, using the water columns from shells to take out planes was pretty clever.

[@likevvii]

Shivers down my spine when I saw the convoy animation. AWESOME.

[@ChrisRobato]

Nicely made video. '101' is the very first destroyer of the PLAN. The Chinese removed the torpedoes and replaced them with antiship missiles. That refit you won't see in WoWs.

[@jeffreyzheng8875]

If the missile is added, she would be tier XI premium

I live in qingdao and I have been on that destroyer for a couple of times.

It would be great to see these historical events as mission in the game. Make it where you have to have the same outcome as the historical event. That would be great to try out in the game atmosphere and have the relevance of the event.

[@imperialguardsman4361]

It looks like the convoy ships have 15 point captains with that secret battleship skill that allows the rudder to be moved side to side when torpedoes are incoming

[@Usmodlover]

Nothing about how unseaworthy these ships were that on one occasion one broke in half in a storm?

they did say they were used for the black sea and the Baltic sea which more or less implies poor seaworthiness.

[@chrisr8086]

this class needs longer torp range in the game.

[@drhouse211]

I thought the same when i saw the mikahil kutuzov tier 8 premium russian cruiser yesterday the first in a vid here on youtubw. Dont get me wrong. Its a beautiful ship and moreover a very tough equivalent to the tier 8 usn cruiser but it's definitely a few classes under the ijn cruiser mogami/atago. If wargaming is going to implement this ship into the game, they'll need to buff a few stats regarding the ingame balance.

[@MrJcTTK]

+hans peter to be fair it's a light cruiser not a heavy like the myokou and momgami. later on there will be separate trees for both classes of ships as in light and heavy. which will be able to give a better comparison.

[@MrJcTTK]

+hans peter and of course when using a phone it doesn't allow you to edit the comments sigh..well to lazy to fix that spelling mistake haha.

[@drhouse211]

+MrJc thanks for sharing these kinds of informations.

[@ChaosCrash13]

+Chris R In the game, these ships are hunters on destroyers. Their main weapon is the cannons ("The "Washington cruisers" afraid of theirs armor-piercing rounds too.)). Torpedoes - auxiliary weapon for close combat with the destroyers: very fast and torpedo tubes are convenient angles.

[@ast0nv8]

They should make a movie on that…

[@WildBillCox13]

I'm keen to see how they handle the Kirov class Cruisers and the Leningrad class heavy destroyers; both of which served during the Great Patriotic War. These were real ships-not "paper tigers"-and belong in the game.

[@user-dp4ok9ox5w]

+Andy Wilderness Untrue. The term 'Great Patriotic War' was first used by the old Russian empire during the Napoleonic wars. Thus WW2 was actually the 2nd Great Patriotic War for Russia.

[@FawfulDied]

I think there's quite something positive to resisting an invader that literally slaughtered, raped, burned, and starved through your country. Quite deserving of the titles "Great" and "Patriotic". After all, we Americans call the First World War "the Great War", despite our mainland being in pretty much zero danger.

[@eriadorian748]

Anyone know what music is used while they go over the design and stats?

[@einar8019]

why does the uss nicholas only have 5,5 km torp range? they can go too 13,5km

[@phoonphoon123]

song at 6.58 ?

[@24YOA]

China kept them for so long not because they were good but because they had no navy anyways.

[@Riceball01]

+Sleipnir Odin TiltedScales has a valid point, just because the Chinese used old Project 7s doesn't necessarily mean that they did so because they were great as much as they were what they could afford at the time. This is a common practice throughout the world, poorer/smaller nations with smaller/weaker militaries often buy the cast offs from more powerful nations like the US and USSR/Russia. During the Falklands the Argentines were using one of our old WW II cruisers which they named the General Belgrano and I think that some countries are operating Perry class frigates, a ship that the USN no longer operates. This is not to say that these second vessels, tanks, or even planes are junk because they're old but the countries that operate second military equipment do so because it's all they can afford. Not every nation out there can afford to buy the most modern stuff out there and fewer still can design and build their own so their only option is to buy hand me downs from the countries do operate and/build and design their own stuff. I imagine that most of South and Central America, most of Africa, and parts of Asia use second hand equipment for their militaries with the only things in their inventory that weren't acquired second hand are their uniforms and small arms and even those are probably decades old.

world of warship you should do bismark

[@majormidget2704]

No submarines attacked the convoy on the day described. (18th Sep). Only aircraft attacked the convoy that attack, and only 1 merchant was sunk, for a loss of aircraft. The main fighting was really done before on the 14/15th. Also considering how only 4 soviet destroyers turned up to escort the convoy, while on the 18th 20 Royal Navy ships were still escorting (3 destroyers, 4 Corvettes, 7 Minesweepers, 4 Trawlers, 2 AA ships) I definitely think WG have tried to play up the Soviets by exaggerating their role. I know that they use preserved ships for these videos, but still, it's a stretch to use those that had little impact.

[@user-dp4ok9ox5w]

+Major Midget Tell that to the NAVAL HISTORIAN who is telling the story.

[@majormidget2704]

If only. Then maybe they might see the difference. But they are more than a little biased, so I doubt they would listen. Edit: found a mistake in my first post, 3 aircraft were shot down on the 18th.

[@user-dp4ok9ox5w]

Major Midget OR he has different sources than YOU "youtube historian"?

[@majormidget2704]

***** Good Joke, but I don't use the internet as much, I have books and a lot of them. And a local library which I read in. His "different sources" are most likely the Russian reports of the battle, which are usually unreliable from all sides, they often tend to be exaggerated. Every side does that after a battle. Yet if you read the German records of the attack, of which only they know the losses and attacks which they made, they are more reliable. E.g. After the U-457 was sunk by the destroyer HMS Impulsive on the 16th September, all U-boat attacks were called off, because the British Destroyer escort was being effective. Yet battle reports from the Russians and British on the 18th would not know this, and therefore they could believe submarines to be there, if a torpedo appeared, and the crews could not see the aircraft that dropped it.

[@user-dp4ok9ox5w]

Major Midget That is typical biased (cold war) and untruthful stereotype propaganda by West on anything Russian. Russian reports are just as accurate as Western when it comes to a RUSSIAN fights, thus the MAIN and most reliable reports are always Russian when concerning Russian side of battles, not the (often falsified) Western ones. It is usually those who exaggerate themselves blame others for exaggeration, just like Nazi Germany did (ie admissions of Otto Carius). There is a psychological term for that and its called "projection". PS. I do not remember British (military navy) operating in the north Arctic sea during WW2. Also Russia never claims to know better what West did in its battles, but it is funny how West always does supposedly "know better" in case of Russia (for domestic propaganda reasons). When you remove ideological barriers, can't you see the hypocrisy there?

@@mikestone6078 It wasn't much actually. Gold price was at $35 an ounce in the late 1950s, so the price should be about $1.2 million per ship, which is equivalent to about $10 million today.

uhm why are you using inches for caliber on this Russian ship but refuse to use inches on the american artillery guns?

[@Pipino_il_Longo]

Synthesis of the video: Russians go to Italy, study the blueprints of the Maestrale class destroyer, go back to Russia and build a copy of that ship..... pff dislike the project 7 And now there will be a battle of opinions XD

[@MrMarinus18]

copying other designs is extremely common. Most Japanese designs were British in origin and quite a few German designs were as well. Also just because it's based on a Italian destroyer doesn't mean it's identical.

[@RedXlV]

The Soviet 130mm gun was a significant improvement over the Italian 120mm on the Maestrale-class, though. The Soviet 533mm torpedoes were also slightly better than the Italian ones, with a larger warhead.
