Project history

Project was developed by Vulkan taking into account lacks of Ukraina class project. In particular, hull proportions were changed and displacement was increased, that allowed to improve seagoing capacities and to increase endurance. Boilers number was moderated to four, and each of them was installed in separate boiler room. Rated as torpedo cruisers, since September, 1907 as destroyers.
