Kalinin ((ロシア語:Калинин)) 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. Her post-war career was uneventful until she was disarmed and converted into a floating barracks in 1960. She was sold for scrap in 1963. ==Description== ''Kalinin'' was long at the waterline, and long overall. She had a beam of and had a draft between . ''Kalinin'' 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 , only reaching on trials, because she was over overweight. The ship 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〕 ''Kalinin'' 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 55-caliber 34-K anti-aircraft (AA) guns mounted on each side of the rear funnel because the B-34 guns originally intended to be used had run into production problems. The 34-K guns were a stop-gap until the Army anti-aircraft gun could be mated with the mount of the 34-K and put into production as the 90-K. They replaced the 34-K guns in May 1943. Light AA guns 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, but were significantly increased during the war. By 1945 ''Kalinin'' had exchanged her 45 mm guns for nine additional 70-K AA guns. By 1957 her light anti-aircraft armament consisted of only nine powered 37 mm V-11 mounts.〔Yakubov and Worth, pp. 86-7〕 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〕 As built ''Kalinin'' lacked any radars, but by 1944 she was equipped with British and American Lend-Lease radars as well as Soviet-designed systems. A British Type 291 and an American SG radar were used for air search. Two Soviet Yupiter-1 radars were used for main battery fire control while anti-aircraft fire control was provided by two British Type 282 radars.〔 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 Kalinin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
