Kléber is a captured 1936A iirc.
I don’t remember which specific zerstörer.
Sowjetskaja Ukraina, Old German press photo from Nikolajew Shipyard. Under German rule the construction was continued and at the end it looks even more complete than Soyuz.
thx but arkhangelsk and novorossiysk were both lented to soviet i think so its fair, but giving germany a ship that was unfinished ??? they didnt have the blueprints i assume so finishing it wouldve been impossible
Let’s not forget KMS Lützow, aka Tallinn, can show up in the russian tree.
ok you just proved me wrong
Germany has the most unfinished ships in the bluewater tree.
Yeah germany has what feels like 20 unfinished aircraft carrier conversions and all the Z plan stuff
ik but still, giving any nation a capital battleship that they didnt make themselves in their own port or lent to them seems wrong to me
I mean the port at that time was owned by germany I mean like iterally have to get into the hairs like is who who owned the guns of the ship like the Guns they put on their battleships were suppsoed to be german guns which they never recieved nor were built in enough quanities right so how how does suyuz get like its full complement of 406mm guns
Like would you say uboats built by germany in french drydocks shouldnt go to germany?
if they made the blueprints for them then sure go to germany
but the port is french you jsut said becuase it isnt their own port
if they make the blueprints they can have the ship idc about the port
One article mentioned they progressed as far as 75% to launch it (doesn’t mean total completion, just almost ready to launch the hulk). They probably wanted to get it to the water to tow it off to Romanian port or something. Either way, from all aborted capital ship projects in soviet soil, the Ukraina was likely the most progressed one.
German Wiki has some infos. The propulsion system and powerplant was supposed to come from Switzerland anyways, so Ger just took over this order. The main armament was supposed to be the German 406mm from H-class. In 1943 the German Ukraina project was cancelled, cause of the new focus on U-Boats. Also all capital ship projects in Germany got cancelled.
