 == History ==
-After the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union was left to build its navy by finishing the construction of the unfinished ships the Russian Empire left in dry dock when the civil war first broke out. One of these ships was the ''Admiral Nakhimov''-class cruiser ''Admiral Lazarev'' which they wanted to arm with 203 mm (8-inch guns). However, these guns were too large to mount on a small cruiser as the [[Krasny Kavkaz|''Krasny Kavkaz'']] (“Red Caucasus” the Soviet rename for the ''Admiral Lazrev'') so they instead had to mount 180 mm/60 B-1-K guns Pattern 1931 guns which are 7.1-inches in caliber. The B-1-K models were made from relined Imperial Russian Navy Pattern 1905 203mm 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 suffered from 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 Odesa 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'' 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 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 [[180 mm/57 B-1-P (180 mm)|B-1-P]] saw service on the [[Kirov (Family)|''Kirov''-class]] but were built from the ground up as new 180 mm guns instead of being relined like the B-1-K.
