Sverdlov-class cruiser
 The Sverdlov class cruisers Soviet designation Project 68bis were the last conventional cruisers built for the Soviet Navy in the 1950s. They were based on Italian pre second world war concepts and designs but with deployment on the North Atlantic and Arctic sea routes as a potential role and represent an intelligent approach with a modest armament of conventional 6 inch triple turrets on a large seaworthy hull able to run fast in rough water and fight her armament in a seaway.
