The Project 68-bis cruiser Dmitry Pozharsky was laid down in Leningrad at plant No. 189 in February 1952, launched in June 1953, and commissioned in December 1954. In February 1955 she was integrated into the Northern Fleet, but in the summer of that year, she was transferred to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, becoming part of the 14th cruiser division of the Pacific Fleet. In 1961, she was transferred to the 9th division of anti-submarine ships, and in 1967 – to the 10th operational squadron, permanently located in the Indian Ocean.
The ship is armed with twelve 152mm main battery guns which use only AP shells with improved ricochet angles and flat ballistics. The Cruiser is also armed with torpedoes with very short range. The ship deals high damage per minute and also has quick rudder shift time. The cruiser also has bad concealment.
The consumables are represented by Short-Burst Smoke Generator and Hydroacoustic Search or Defensive AA Fire in one slot.
L’incrociatore Dmitry Pozharsky del Progetto 68-bis fu stabilito a Leningrado nello stabilimento n. L’anno successivo fu trasferita a Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, entrando a far parte della 14a divisione di incrociatori della flotta del Pacifico. Nel 1961 fu trasferita alla 9a divisione delle navi antisommergibile e nel 1967 al 10o squadrone operativo, permanentemente situato nell’Oceano Indiano.
La nave è armata con dodici cannoni della batteria principale da 152 mm che utilizzano solo proiettili AP con angoli di rimbalzo migliorati e balistica piatta. L’incrociatore è anche armato di siluri a corto raggio. La nave infligge danni elevati al minuto e ha anche un rapido spostamento del timone. L’incrociatore ha anche un cattivo occultamento.
I consumabili sono rappresentati da Generatore di fumo a raffica breve e Ricerca idrofonica o Fuoco difensivo contraereo in uno slot.
