A four funnel destroyer with one mast and a ram bow. The 11pdr was mounted on the roof of the 'conning tower' with two 3pdrs forward and one aft. There wer two single deck TT on the centreline aft, for which six torpedos were carried. The Pruitki was one of the fastest of the early destroyers, and famous under her original name of Sokol.
Russia was the second nation, after Great Britain, to build Torpedo Boat Destroyers (TBDs), basing their first ones upon the Yarrow design. The Sokol which was built for Russia by Britain's Yarrow Shipbuilders was laid down in 1894 and completed in January 1895; she was 190 feet long, displaced 220 tons, and attained a speed of over 30 knots during her trials. The Sokol was followed by 26 similar TBDs built in Russian yards between 1896 and 1903. This first series of 'classic' Havock (1893) class ships were originally organized as torpedo boats, then were later reclassified as destroyers in 1907. Pacific destroyers were built in Saint Petersburg, transported in sections by railway to Port Arthur and assembled. They subsequently participated in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905; those that had escaped from Port Arthur, later served in the Siberian Flotilla. Baltic destroyers participated in World War I, the Russian Civil War (1917–1923) and the Finnish Civil War (1918) as minesweepers and avisos. Black Sea destroyers also participated in World War I and the Russian Civil War.
The file contains all the sounds and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow provided the animation files and Ares de Borg did the sounds. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
