-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (Red Crimea) was a Svetlana-class light cruiser built for Imperial Russian Navy in 1910s. She was laid down as Svetlana, the lead ship of the class on 7th December 1913 and commissioned on 1st July 1928. The delays were caused by German advance in WWI and later the Russian Revolution during which the work on the ship was halted. In late 1930s, she underwent refit during which she recieved new fire control equipment, three twin Minizini mounts and four 45 mm 21-K guns aswell as seven 12.7 mm DShK machine guns. Later on, the 45 mm guns were replaced by ten 37 mm 61-K automatic cannons. After the attack on Soviet Union, Krasny Krym was supporting defenders of Odessa providing shore bombardment and escorting convoys. During Siege of Sevastopol, she was performing convoy escort duties, ferrying men and supply into the besieged city and providing naval gunfire support. On 18th June 1942, she was awarded Guards title for her performance during Kerch-Feodosiyan Operation. Between August and October 1942, she was evacuating troops from Novorossiysk and ferrying troops to Tuapse and Gelendzhik. Since October 1943 she was forced to stay in port due to Stalin forbiding deployment of naval forces unless approved directly by him due to incident of loosing 3 destroyers to Germans. Krasny Krym was reclassified as a training ship in 1954, she served in this role until 7th May 1957 when she was redesignated as experimental ship before being reclassified as floating barracks on 18th March 1959. She was sold for scrap in July 1959.

-Krasny Krym was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]]. It is armed with 15 x 130 mm guns, arranged in single mounts; while on paper this may seem impressive, it can fire only a maximum of 8 guns at one target, which with its low calibre for its type means it won't do as much damage as other cruisers. The Krasny Krym is also very slow: while its counterparts steam at around 50 - 60 km/h, Krasny Krym's max speed is 48 km/h, only 3 km/h faster than HMS Dreadnought. However, where the Krasny Krym does shine is in its survivability. Whilst the armour on the vessel isn't especially thick, the armour layout is quite comprehensive and most of the ship is protected by at least some armour. An inbound shell coming at a random angle is could easily encounter two or three layers of protection. This keeps the ship relatively resistant to explosive fragmentation and the armouring is thick enough to halt a fair amount of the armour-piercing shells that will be thrown your way at its BR. Along with the armour is a sizeable crew of 852 men, which can allow for the Krasny Krym to endure surprising levels of punishment and keep fighting. Like other cruisers of its tier, Krasny Krym has a decent AA battery which can deter incoming aircraft, though may not stop a determined/suicidal attacker until after they have dropped their ordnance.

 === Survivability and armour ===
 {{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}
-The Krasny Krym has identical belt armour to the Krasny Kavkaz, with a 25mm above waterline belt plate along the entire length of the ship. Below the waterline, a cemented 75mm plate assists in preventing hull breaches. The Krasny Krym has two layers of 25mm deck armour, providing substantial protection against HE and even destroyer and early light cruiser SAP from a distance. The primary armament has a 76mm front plate, with 25mm on the sides and 15mm on the roof. These turrets however are easily destroyed by overpressure and effectively any direct hit by SAP and AP. The bridge is protected by 125mm of cemented armour around all sides with 75mm on the roof, making the bridge nearly invulnerable to most ships of the same BR.
+<!-- ''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.'' -->
 The crew count of 852 is quite good for an early light cruiser allowing for impressive endurance whilst under constant fire. The numerous turrets results in a large amount of ammunition elevators, making fires a significant threat due to ammunition detonations. The hull armour is able to stop most destroyer and early cruisers rounds whilst angled heavily.

 === Mobility ===
 {{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}
 When compared to the Krasny Kavkaz, the Krasny Krym is a major downgrade in mobility even when fully upgraded. With a max speed of 48/41km/h in Arcade and Realistic respectively.  The ability of the rudder to turn the ship is also significantly worse, making the evasion of torpedos a significant issue. This also makes angling the Krasny Krym quite challenging.

Overall the AA armament is very effective for an early cruiser, able to ward off most light bombers and fighters.

 The 130 mm cannons can be described in one word - inadequate. Being destroyer calibre guns mounted on an outdated cruiser chassis they should be treated as such. Do not expect to knock out anything you would not be able to with late Soviet destroyers, the shells are not something you will be proud of. They also have quite low velocity, so you will most likely have troubles with accuracy at range, and much lower explosive mass than other cruisers. Aiming whole broadside is also somewhat difficult, since the guns do not share levels of elevation nor horizontal guidance. Let that not scare you however, for they do have some redeeming qualities.
-First off, they are quite numerous. A full HE broadside of 8 guns '''can''' be quite devastating for anything unarmoured, but do not wish for miracles. When fighting against DDs you can feel relatively comfortable, blacking out a few compartments at once, but facing any cruiser you should try to aim to disable the enemy's armament first, as you do not have the power or reload to overpower them. You will have serious disadvantage against them but you can dish out some pain if you're lucky, especially since you'll be far from the top of the priority target list.

-The guns apart from being numerous are quite spaced out and have relatively thick gun shields. You can safely assume that you '''will''' be able to return fire from at least a few guns until the bitter end, since the possibility of rendering all of them useless is quite low. Even if after facing a few salvos one side of the ship is inoperable, you have old-school broadside cruiser at your disposal, you can always turn the other way and respond with the other side's guns.
+The guns apart from being numerous are quite spaced out and have relatively thick gun shields. You can safely assume that you will be able to return fire from at least a few guns until the bitter end, since the possibility of rendering all of them useless is quite low. Even if after facing a few salvoes one side of the ship is inoperable, you have old-school broadside cruiser at your disposal, you can always turn the other way and respond with the other side's guns.
 Also, remember that you have big ammo reserves, 175 shells per gun at full load - you can be liberal with your fire should you want to.
