Tech Tree Tier&nbsp;X [[Ship:Destroyer|Destroyer]].</p><p>The operational requirements for a large ocean-going destroyer design that was intended to be a development of Project 35 were approved in August of 1942. The design was known as Project 40. In the summer of 1945, it was decided to build 132 "large" destroyers, but in September of the same year, the plans were abandoned to focus on light cruisers and conventional destroyers instead.</p><p> </p></div>
A product of Project 40N, this ship was designed as a "large destroyer" based on experience gained in World War II. Unlike her predecessors, she had greater dimensions and carried dual-purpose artillery and enhanced AA guns.<br><!-- <br>

|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* Powerful main battery.
Compared to the 3,400 tons of Soviet "pride" that is the ''[[Khabarovsk]]'', ''Grozovoi'' provides a more balanced performance of a typical destroyer, while still retaining some of the attractive qualities of Soviet destroyers.  
* High top speed.
* Access to both Smoke Generator consumable and Repair Party consumable.


There are plenty of trade-offs between ''Khabarovsk'' and ''Grozovoi''. For starters, ''Grozovoi'' is slower than ''Khabarovsk'' - though she is still fast at 39.5 knots - and lacks her cousin's 50 mm chestplate. This means that ''Grozovoi'' has to rely more on hiding in smoke screens and remaining undetected to stay alive. Thankfully, ''Grozovoi'' has a much better detection range than ''Khabarovsk'' (7.6 km vs 10 km) which makes this easier. Additionally, ''Grozovoi'' has a far superior rudder shift time, but this is somewhat hampered by a disappointingly large turning circle, which makes dodging fire and evading torpedoes just a little bit harder.
===Cons===
* High detectability.
* Torpedoes are a secondary weapon.
* Short-range torpedoes.


In terms of firepower, ''Grozovoi'' is nothing to scoff at, even alongside its counterpart. Uniquely, she uses HE-42 shells instead of the standard HE-46 shells common to high tier Soviet destroyers. These shells deals less damage, in exchange for a slightly faster shell velocity. These are small differences, but they are noticeable, especially with two less gun barrels compared to ''Khabarovsk''. On the flipside, her torpedoes, both stock and upgraded, are faster and travel much farther, allowing ''Grozovoi'' to deal massive amounts of damage and flooding to enemy ships from beyond her detection range, something ''Khabarovsk'' captains can only dream of doing.


Finally, ''Grozovoi'' has an expansive toolkit of consumables: in addition to the standard destroyer loadout of {{Damage Control Party}}, {{Smoke Generator}}, and {{Engine Boost}}, she also gets {{Defensive AA Fire}} and {{Repair Party}} in dedicated slots for a total of five consumables. However, these have a small number of charges each, with only two charges per consumable (four for {{Defensive AA Fire}}), making Superintendent more valuable than usual.

Like ''[[Udaloi]]'', ''Grozovoi'' is a worthy alternative to the "flotilla leader" line where ''Khabarovsk'' sits. With a proper build and a careful hand, she can be a prominent threat to any unprepared opponent.

There is only the torpedo module upgrade for ''Grozovoi'', which increases the range of the torpedoes by 2.0 km and decreases the speed by only one knot.  Captains are encouraged to research and mount the upgraded module at their leisure.

|Upgrades=<!-- write text about best upgrades below -->
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''':  {{Main Armaments Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 2''':  {{Engine Room Protection}}
* '''Slot 3''':  {{Aiming Systems Modification 1}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>
* '''Slot 4''':  {{Steering Gears Modification 1}} '''or''' {{Propulsion Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 5''':  {{Concealment System Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 6''':  {{Main Battery Modification 3}} <nowiki>*</nowiki>


''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is best compared to American counterpart ''[[Gearing]]'' when it comes to upgrades, as no other Tier X destroyer can also mount {{Defensive AA Fire}}. Packing this consumable gives ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' captains some interesting choices when it comes to outfitting their ship.

Captains who opt for a full-on '''Anti-Aircraft Build''', should install {{AA Guns Modification 1}} into '''Slot 3''' at a minimum, and are advised to consider equipping {{Auxiliary Armaments Modification 2}} in '''Slot 6''' as well.  By stacking these upgrades with the Basic Firing Training commander skill and a November Echo Setteseven ({{November Echo Setteseven|Size=18px}}) flag, ''{{#var:ship_name}}''’s AA becomes brutally punishing, even more so if points are invested into the Manual Fire Control for AA Armament commander skill. 


Captains who prefer a more '''Generalist Build''' should stick with '''Aiming Systems Modification 1''' in '''Slot 3''', though they could also consider {{Torpedo Tubes Modification 2}} in '''Slot 6''' depending on how they want to play the ship.

===History===
By 1942, the Soviet Navy came to understand the integral role destroyers were playing in in combat. Experience proved to them the venerability of said class: they could partake in Anti-submarine warfare, anti-air warfare, convoy protection, and mine-laying duties – among other proven roles. Upon assessment of their current fleet, the Soviets realized the deficiencies of their current ships; they lacked “multi-level” combat capabilities and had poor sea keeping and integrity. The proposed replacement design, Project 35, was quickly deemed incapable of meeting standards and was quickly dismissed in order to commence preparations for a new design to replace the Soviet destroyer fleet.
Project 35 was to be modified, to incorporate dual-purpose main artillery of 130mm in caliber, for greater combat flexibility, and the necessary sensor and fire control suite to ensure effective application. They also wished to include design elements observed in foreign destroyers, such as the clipper bows of British destroyers and the greater armoring of German destroyers. Accordingly the ships were increased to 2,700 tonnes of displacement.
 
By 1943, Central Design Bureau Nº17 was established and was charged with designing the newly dubbed Project 40 destroyers. The next year was spent creating several draft designs, in various configurations, of the new ship. Upon analyzing the drafts in 1940, it was realized that the displacement had to be increased to 3,000 tonnes to meet the technical specifications. The Bureau entered another round of redesign with further requirements modified; the ships were to have a top speed of 36 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles.
 
Project 40N is seen as the definitive version of the Project 40 destroyer designs. Increased to 4,000 tonnes, the destroyers were of a sleek design; low freeboard with a pronounced clipper bow at the front. Very much a modern design, it would have easily transitioned into the post-war era. As British experience in the North Atlantic proved, the clipper bow would provide solid seaworthiness and dry decks.
 
The proposed power plant for the ships was 4 high-pressure oil-fired boilers that fed into two geared turbines; a staple of Second World War destroyer design philosophy. Rated to generate 72,000-shaft horsepower, it was expected to meet the performance requirements of a top speed of 36 knots. To ensure increased survivability the power plant was arranged “en-echelon” configuration; alternating engine room and fire room.
 
The new destroyers were armed with six 130mm rifles situated in three dual-purpose turrets, housing two guns each. The turrets were arranged in an “A-B-Y” configuration with two turrets at the bow and one turret at the stern. Characteristic to these rifles, they were long barreled and could take high powder loads, thus ensured high muzzle velocities and greater range. The mounts themselves would allow the guns to elevate to +82˚ so they were effective in engaging aircraft as well. The turrets could be remotely controlled from the by the main Combat Engagement computers if need arises. Further emphasis to anti-aircraft combat was provided with the addition of 45mm AA cannons in dual mounts, under the control of independent radar systems Other staple armaments included torpedoes in two quintuple mounts, mines, and depth charge launches.
 
By 1945, the project had matured and the Navy considered accepting the completed designs into the postwar shipbuilding programs, but Stalin rejected this proposal; he was not fond of the “big destroyer” concept and saw no future for it in his new navy. He wanted the postwar shipbuilding programs to incorporate newer designs that incorporated the emergence of new tactics and technologies. Although Project 40 itself was shelved, many of its design aspects went into the new postwar destroyers of the Soviet Navy, such as the 130mm DP armament implemented into the Project 41 destroyers, or the addition of a clipper bow to the Project 56 destroyers.

Grozovoi — U.S.S.R. Tech Tree Tier X Destroyer.

The operational requirements for a large ocean-going destroyer design that was intended to be a development of Project 35 were approved in August of 1942. The design was known as Project 40. In the summer of 1945, it was decided to build 132 "large" destroyers, but in September of the same year, the plans were abandoned to focus on light cruisers and conventional destroyers instead.

Pros

  • Powerful main battery.
  • High top speed.
  • Access to both Smoke Generator consumable and Repair Party consumable.

Cons

  • High detectability.
  • Torpedoes are a secondary weapon.
  • Short-range torpedoes.
