V1 [[Azur Lane]]'s personification of the one-off Soviet large destroyer [i]Tashkent[/i].

h4. History

The Tashkent class of ships consisted of a single destroyer leader, built in Italy for the Soviet navy just before World War II. Three other ships were ordered but canceled before construction. The class is named after Tashkent, "the capital city":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tashkent] of Uzbekistan, under Soviet rule at that time.
Ultimately, the Soviets found out that it was impossible to adapt Italian shipbuilding practices with the comparatively inferior state of Soviet shipbuilding, so [[Kiev (Azur Lane)|]] was designed as a cheaper version of Tashkent but carrying the same armament.

h4. Trivia

The real life destroyer Tashkent had a top speed of 43 knots (42 knots with armaments), technically making her faster than [[shimakaze (azur lane)|Shimakaze]] (top speed 40.9 knots in trials) but slower than the French destroyer [[Le Terrible (Azur Lane)|]] (45 knots in trials).
