Soviet destroyer Zheleznyakov

Zheleznyakov was one of eight Fidonisy-class destroyers built for the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. She was originally named Korfu (Корфу) before she was renamed Petrovsky (Петровский) in 1925 and Zheleznyakov (Железняков) in 1939.

Design and description
The Fidonisy-class ships were designed as an improved version of the Derzky-class destroyer with an additional 102 mm gun. Korfu displaced 1326 LT normal and 1580 LT at full load with an overall length of 92.51 m, a beam of 9.05 m, and a draft of 3.2 m at full load. She was propelled by two Parsons steam turbines, each driving one propeller, designed to produce a total of 29000 shp using steam from five 3-drum Thorneycroft boilers for an intended maximum speed of 33 kn. During her sea trials, the ship reached a speed of 30.9 kn. Korfu carried enough fuel oil to give her a range of 2050 nmi at 19 kn. Her crew numbered 136.

The Fidonisy-class ships mounted a main armament of four single 102 mm Pattern 1911 Obukhov guns, one on the forecastle and three aft; one of these latter guns was superfiring over the other two. Anti-aircraft defense for Korfu and her sisters that were completed after the war was provided by a single 76.2 mm Lender gun on the stern, a 37 mm Maxim cannon, and four 7.62 mm M-1 machine guns. The destroyers mounted four triple 450 mm torpedo tube mounts amidships with two reload torpedoes and could carry 80 M1908 naval mines. They were also fitted with a Barr and Stroud rangefinder and two 60 cm searchlights.
