About the book: 1997 / Large anti-submarine ships of the "Udaloy" type are the last major series of Soviet ships of this class. For obvious reasons, they are written about in passing in the Russian press and infrequently: after all, today, of the entire colossal fleet of the former USSR, only they can carry out combat service, representing a real military force at sea. These ships are purely externally beautiful, elegant, full of weapons, and if you take into account the burning interest in them from amateurs fleet of various categories, then such a story becomes simply necessary. Note OCR - a good story about good ships, but the reference to Shirokorad as “the undisputed authority in matters of ship weapons” is on the author’s conscience.
