Leaders of destroyers of project 48, also known as leaders of destroyers of the type “Kiev” (by the name of the main ship) – the type of leaders of destroyers, built in 1939-1941 for the Soviet Navy. In total, under the project 48 for the “Great Fleet” of the USSR, twenty leaders of destroyers were to be built at Soviet shipyards. According to the documents, by the fall of 1940 eight leaders were laid. The construction of three of them, as well as the construction of three more ships, was stopped in October 1940 in favor of the construction of the leaders of the project 47 with the universal artillery of the main caliber. Two more leaders, planned to be bookmarked at the shipyard No. 402 in Molotovsk, were never laid. In 1944-1950, a corrected 48-K project was designed at TsKB-17 and at the design bureau of plant No. 444, according to which the corps of leaders “Kiev” and “Yerevan” were to be completed, but in 1950 the leadership of the shipbuilding industry was a decision was made to abandon the completion of these two ships. Both unfinished ships were converted into target ships and flooded at various times during testing of anti-ship missiles.Textures: from 256×256 to 4096x4096Diffuse, Opacity.

Murmansk light cruiser with OS2U 3D Model
USS Milwaukee (CL-5) was an Omaha-class light cruiser built for the United States Navy during the 1920s. The ship spent most of her early career assigned to the Asiatic and Battle Fleets. In 1941 she was assigned to the Neutrality Patrol until she was refitted in New York in late 1941. She escorted a troop convoy to the Pacific in early 1942 before returning to the South Atlantic where she patrolled for German commerce raiders and blockade runners. In November, she intercepted one of the latter, but it scuttled itself before it could be captured. In 1944 she was temporarily transferred to the Soviet Navy and commissioned as Murmansk. The ship was returned by the Soviets in 1949 and sold for scrap in December.Textures: from 256×256 to 4096x4096Diffuse, Opacity.
