History

After the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union was left to build its navy by finishing the construction of the unfinished ships left in dry dock by the Russian Empire when the civil war first broke out. One of these ships was the Admiral Nakhimov-class cruiser Admiral Lazarev (renamed by the Soviets as the Krasny Kavkaz) which they wanted to arm with 203 mm (8-inch guns). However, these guns were too large to mount on a small cruiser, so they instead had to mount 180 mm/60 B-1-K Pattern 1931 guns which were 7.1-inches in caliber. The B-1-K models were made from relined Imperial Russian Navy Pattern 1905 203 mm guns which originated from a Vickers design made for export. On the Krasny Kavkaz, the guns were mounted in four MK-1-180 single-gun turrets. However, the guns had an abnormally high muzzle velocity of 3,000 feet per second and therefore had a short barrel life of 50-77 rounds requiring them to reduce the size of the propellant charge. The Krasny Kavkaz first saw action in World War II providing gunfire support during the Siege of Odessa in 1941 before participating in the Siege of Sevastopol where she once again used her guns to provide fire support for Soviet forces on the Crimean Peninsula most notably during the Kerch-Feodosiya Offensive in December 1941. However, the Krasny Kavkaz</nowiki>'s wartime career ended in October 1943 when Stalin ended the deployment of naval units without his express permission after the loss of three destroyers off the Taman Peninsula. The Krasny Kavkaz became a target ship in 1947 and was sunk in 1952 during a test with anti-ship missiles. The Krasny Kavkaz was the only ship to mount the B-1-K guns, the related B-1-P saw service on the Kirov-class but were built from the ground up as new 180 mm guns instead of being relined like the B-1-K.
