-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (lit. "Noble") was the Kotlin-class destroyer, which were the last gun only destroyers built for Soviet Navy. The Project 56 destroyers were improved, scaled down and modified version of a previous experimental Project 41-Neustrashimy destroyer, better suitable for large scale production as they were smaller, cheaper and easier to build in high quantities. Blagorodnyy was laid down on 5th March 1955 and commissioned on 30th June 1957. From 30th June 1957 she was part of the Black Sea Fleet where she participated in various excercises and training duties. In 1963, Blagorodnyy underwent modernization to PLO standard which meant strenghtening of anti-submarine capabilities by installing four anti-submarine rocket launchers with two astern and two infront of the bridge aswell as replacing the older radars for newer types. Between 1973 and 1976 when the ship was undergoing repairs, one of the torpedo launchers was removed and a deckhouse together with two twin 25 mm 2M-3 automatic cannons was installed in its place. On 21st March 1980 while performing combat duty in Meditteranean, Blagorodnyy collided with hydrographic research vessel Memory of Mercury. Blagorodnyy was decomissioned on 25th April 1989 and sold for scrap in 1992.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (lit. "Noble") was a [[Pr.56 (Family)|Project 56 (Kotlin-class)]] destroyer, which were the last gun-only destroyers built for the Soviet Navy. The Project 56 destroyers were improved, scaled down, and modified versions of the previous experimental Project 41 [[Neustrashimy]] destroyer, better suited for large scale production as they were smaller, cheaper, and easier to build in large quantities. Blagorodnyy was laid down on 5th March 1955 and commissioned on 30th June 1957. From 30th June 1957, she was part of the Black Sea Fleet where she participated in various exercises and training duties. In 1963, Blagorodnyy underwent modernization to PLO standard which meant strengthening of anti-submarine capabilities by installing four anti-submarine rocket launchers with two astern and two in front of the bridge as well as replacing the older radars for newer types. Between 1973 and 1976 when the ship was undergoing repairs, one of the torpedo launchers was removed and a deckhouse together with two twin 25 mm 2M-3 automatic cannons was installed in its place. On 21st March 1980, while performing combat duty in the Mediterranean, Blagorodnyy collided with hydrographic research vessel Memory of Mercury. Blagorodnyy was decommissioned on 25th April 1989 and sold for scrap in 1992.
-Blagorodnyy was introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]] as GE premium. She is a modified version of the previous Neustrashimy-class destroyer, sharing same hull design, magazine locations, aswell as the air track and search radar Fut-N. The secondary 45 mm guns are split into one behind each main armament turrets and two between funnels on each side of hull, unlike two behind each main armament turrets on Neustrashimy. She is depicted in her 1978 configuration, with strenghented anti-submarine capabilities. The Blagorodnyy´s propulsion is divided into two sections with boilers and transmission paired under each funnel, so direct hit into one section does not leave the ship dead in the water.

 The base model Project 56 didn't have sufficient deterrence against submarines. With the Blagorodnyy's PLO upgrade, a pair of RBU-2500 depth charges respectively at the front and a pair of RBU-36U at the rear were added. While there aren't submarines in-game currently, the explosive content of those rockets can take out PT boats or fast attack boats right away, alternatively set enemy vessels ablaze or knock-out their critical modules. The  range for the bow mount is up to 2,500m and only 250 m for the stern mounts.
 The other weaponry on-board are its quintuple 533 mm 53-57 torpedo launchers located by the middle of the ship. They inflict sufficient damage against careless targets, but remember to set torpedo depth for maximum damage.

-The Blagorodnyy belongs to the Project 56 Spokoiny-class destroyer and is upgraded to the PLO version with enhanced anti-submarine weaponry. The 130 mm turrets and quad 45 mm autocannons will make sure it can make short work of enemies PT boats, destroyers or sometimes even light cruisers at lower tier thanks to its devastating firepower.

 A common feature of Soviet destroyers is their 130 mm turrets. In Blagorodnyy's case, it is armed with 2 x SM-2-1 130 mm dual mount on the front and rear of the hull. Thanks to the advancement of technology, it has a faster traverse speed than the B-2LM mounts of previous destroyers and let alone the single B-13 mounts. The new SAP and HE-VT shell also prove its capability to take down enemy vessels up to light cruisers given the shots does extensive damage against their internal modules. The 130 mm SM-2-1 turrets are equipped with ZF-42R HE-VT shells, the sheer calibre of the gun is more than enough to scare off enemies' planes even at longer ranges or higher altitude thanks to its anti-aircraft radar onboard with leading indicator. If any aircraft comes within its explosion radius, it is very unlikely that it can survive the salvoes.

 Most destroyers at this rank have extensive medium calibre anti-aircraft firepower against incoming planes and the Blagorodnyy is among the very last gun destroyers of Soviet Navy. The 4 x quad mount 45 mm SM-20-ZIF mount onboard have an extremely devastating firepower against planes or coastal ships within their range.
