General information

The Bravy (Бравый; Brave, hull number 650) was one of the Project 56 Spokoinyy (Спокойный, "tranquil") Class Destroyers with Bravy being the 56K variant with enhanced air-defence capabilities; starting in 1962, the vessel was fitted with anti-air missiles, though it was only for testing and this particular refit was never extended to any other vessels of the class. The ship was built in Mykolaiv/Nikolayev Shipyard in 1952 and joined Soviet Navy in January 1956 as one of the ships in the VMF's Black Sea Fleet. The ship was famous for having an accidental collision with the Royal Navy's Ark Royal in November 1970 with casualties onboard Bravy. The ship was later stored in Sevastopol as part of the "mothball fleet" (reserve fleet) and eventually broken up for scrap in 1987.

The Bravy was introduced in Update "La Royale" as the first Soviet ship to receive SAM for air-defence and the first bluewater vessel with guided missiles, although the installation of the Volna-M (Волна, "wave") came at the cost of removing a main turret and AA mounts at the aft, as well as the vessel having a relatively slower top speed than other ships of her class. Bravy is now a fearsome, anti-aircraft destroyer which can blow aerial targets into pieces with its varieties of weapons on board; either by the traditional guns or the latest SAMs of its era.
