* {{Specs-Link|ussr_destroyer_pr30_ognevoy}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

=== Available shells ===

-The 39-K is a double-barrelled variant of the [[34-K (76 mm)|34-K]] which is itself a variant of the Red Army [[3-K (76 mm)|3-K]] anti-aircraft cannon. Work on a twin-turret version of the 34-K began in 1934. First tested in 1938, the twin-mount was found to be unreliable so it was sent back to the factory for improvements. The 39-K was officially adopted in 1939 by the Soviet Navy. In addition to the twin turret, the 39-K was electrically operated traverse instead of manually operated like on the 34-K, and the new turret was recessed 3 feet 3''(1 meter) into the ground. The 39-K was mounted on the [[Tashkent|''Tashkent'']] destroyer leader, [[Ognevoy|''Ognevoy'']] destroyer, ''Kahsan''<nowiki />-class river monitors, and the planned ''Kiev''<nowiki />-class destroyers. Production ended in 1941 when it was replaced by the more powerful [[85 mm/52 92-K (85 mm)|85 mm/52 92-K]].
