''Kaganovich'' ((ロシア語:Каганович)) was a Project 26bis2 of the Soviet Navy that was built during World War II. She was built in Siberia from components shipped from European Russia. She saw no action during the war and served into the Cold War. She was renamed ''Lazar Kaganovich'' in 1945 to distinguish her from Lazar's disgraced brother Mikhail Kaganovich. Her post-war career was generally uneventful, although her superstructure was badly damaged by a Force 12 typhoon in 1957. She was renamed ''Petropavlovsk'' ((ロシア語:Петропавловск)) in 1957. Sources disagree on her fate; some say that she was converted into a floating barracks in 1960 and later sold for scrap while another says that she was simply sold for scrap in 1960. ==Description== (詳細はlong at the waterline, and long overall. She had a beam of and had a draft between . ''Kaganovich'' displaced at standard load and at full load.〔Yakubov and Worth, p. 84〕 Her geared steam turbines produced a total of on trials, but she fell somewhat short of her designed speed of 37 knots, only reaching , on trials, because she was over overweight. She normally carried of fuel oil, at full load and at overload. This gave her an endurance of at with overload fuel.〔Yakubov and Worth, p. 90〕 ''Kaganovich'' carried nine 57-caliber B-1-P guns in three electrically powered MK-3-180 triple turrets. The turrets were very small; they were designed to fit into the limited hull space available and were so cramped that their rate of fire was much lower than designed—only two rounds per minute instead of six. The guns were mounted in a single cradle to minimize space and were so close together that their shot dispersion was very high because the muzzle blast from adjacent barrels affected each gun. Unlike her half-sisters built in European Russia, her secondary armament initially consisted of eight single dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns. ''Kaganovich''s initial light AA armament is unknown, although her sister ship ''Kalinin''s initially consisted of six semi-automatic AA guns with 600 rounds per gun, ten fully automatic AA guns with a thousand rounds per gun, and six DK machine guns with 12,500 rounds per gun. During the 1950s her light anti-aircraft armament was replaced by nine powered 37 mm V-11 mounts.〔Yakubov and Worth, pp. 84, 91〕 Six 39-Yu torpedo tubes were fitted in two triple mountings, one on each side. She received the Lend-Lease ASDIC-132 sonar system, which the Soviets called Drakon-132, as well as the experimental Soviet Mars-72 system.〔Yakubov and Worth, p. 88〕 ''Kaganovich''s radar suite is unknown, but it is likely she was equipped with a mix of Soviet and British and American Lend-Lease radars.〔 At some point during the 1950s her radars were replaced by modern Soviet-built radars; ''Gyuys'' for air search, ''Rif'' for surface search, ''Zalp'' for main-armament gunnery and ''Yakor'' for anti-aircraft gunnery.〔Yakubov and Worth, p. 91〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soviet cruiser Kaganovich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
