This is the first of several books I purchased on my recent trip to Russia.
Ships and Vessels of the VMF of the USSR 1928-1945
Author: Berezhnoy, S S
Published: Moscow, 1988, Voennoe Izdatelstvo
Format: 710 pages
Printing: 25,000
ISBN: 5-203-00541-9
It lists all Soviet Navy ships and vessels that were in action in the period 1928 to 1945. For each, it provides information on:
. Dates (building, launching, commissionning)
. Service history, including (sometimes...) major victories
. Awards
. Technical information: tonnage, dimensions, plant power, armament, crew
I sincerely believe that this is the one most valuable research tool on WWII Soviet ships.
