-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a Soviet destroyer designed in mid 1930s by Italian company OTO and built at Livorno shipyards. The Soviets were not satisfied with their Leningrad-class destroyer leader performance and French refused to help them further so the Soviets turned to Italy for help as they helped in designing the Kirov class light cruisers aswell. She was the only ship of her class built, three others were ordered but their building was cancelled when Soviet shipyards were unable to build such complex vessels from the Italian plans. Taskhent was laid down on 11th January 1937 and completed on 22nd October 1939 without any armament. Her permanent armament was installed shortly before German attack on Soviet Union in 1941. She was given a twin 76 mm 39-K mount intended for destroyer Ognevoy which was still under construction. Tashkent was peforming various naval gunfire support missions in Black Sea aswell as running supplies to Sevastopol. She was sunk while at anchor in Novorossiysk harbor on 2nd July 1942. Her 34-K mounts and pair of her main armament turrets were used at Ognevoy and the third turret was put onto Osmotritelny. The wreck was refloated in 1944 but deemed not worth repairing and therefor was broken up for scrap.

-Tashkent was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]]. She is one of the fastest ships in the game and the second fastest bluewater ship after Moskva. The Tashkent is significanctly bigger than other contemporary destroyers aswell as featuring much heavier firepower in her three twin 130 mm turrets. She is best utilized sailing directly onto enemy utilizing four out of six of her main guns and minimizing the profile of the ship. The forward magazine and shell room are located slightly under the waterline, although these can still be detonated by a shot from a distance coming in at angle and lead to fatal explosion.

 {{main|53-39 (533 mm)}}
 The Tashkent is armed with 9 torpedoes in 3 triple launchers. These are very effective against heavily armoured threats or when doing attacks at a distance. The torpedo must travel 50 m at minimum to be armed (most of the time "point blank" engagements will be between 100-500 m). Depending on the map, game mode and captain's discretion, torpedo depth can be adjusted in order to achieve multiple tasks. Stock, the torpedoes are extremely fast, but have a tiny range of 4 km, with the Torpedo Mode modification, the torpedo range is extended to 10 km, though it loses a bit of its speed.
 '''1 meter depth''' - This is the most universal depth used for all types of engagements, being in deep water or at shallow waters. This depth is capable of hitting all sorts of vessels, including PT boats. The main downside is that enemy ships can see the water trail made by the torpedo which allows enemies to spot and evade it.

 The Pr.20 Tashkent, nicknamed the "Blue Cruiser" for its colour scheme, was designed for the Soviet Union and built by the Italian Odero-Terni-Orlando company, to succeed the preceding Leningrad-class destroyers leaders. During testing, the Tashkent achieved a remarkable speed of 43.5 knots (80 km/h). Consequently, the Tashkent-class destroyer became one of the most powerful destroyers in the world. Unfortunately its design was incompatible with Soviet shipbuilding techniques, so further ships were cancelled and a smaller derived design, the Project 48 or Kiev-class was ordered instead, though none were completed due to the outbreak of the war.
 Assigned to the Black Sea Fleet, it was originally armed with 3 single gun mounts, and was refitted in 1941 with twin turrets and an improved AA battery. It was nearly sunk by air attack in Sevastopol in 1942, where an inventive engineer allowed it to be repaired in a month and a half. During the siege of Sevastopol, it was used as a transport ship and provided shore bombardment support, dodging many attempts by German bombers to destroy it. While at port in Novorossiysk, Tashkent was sunk by air attack. The destroyer was later salvaged in 1944, but the damage was deemed too severe, and was laid out for scrapping. Its salvaged guns were later used on the destroyer [[Ognevoy]].

-The most powerful Soviet destroyer at the outbreak of the war, Tashkent certainly lives up to its reputation, being larger, faster, and more heavily armed than any preceding ship. It is armed with 6 130 mm guns in 3 twin mounts, giving it a large broadside while also having a decent reload, a good AA suite of automatic 37 mm guns, and 9 fast but short-ranged torpedoes. It's fast, in fact one of the fastest destroyers in-game, allowing it to quickly reposition itself. However, Tashkent is also quite large, having a larger profile than other destroyers, and despite its size, is also unarmoured, allowing HE and small-calibre weapons to damage its modules.

 The Tashkent is armed with 6 x 130 mm/58 B-13 semi automatic cannons divided into 3 dual-mount turrets, capable of effectively destroying enemy vessels, including cruisers at the BR range that the Tashkent might face. The 130 mm cannons have access to 3 types of shells, HE, SAPCBC and HE-VT. It is recommended that the captain gets access to the SAPCBC as it has the penetration of an AP shell but the explosive power of an HE shell, and excels at both whittling down enemy crew count and disabling engines and internals. HE-VT shells can provide additional air defence. They will decimate any enemy plane with an airburst but they are only recommended to be used when attacking slow aircraft like bombers at long ranges (past 10 km) as the low fire rate and targeting speed will cause issues engaging faster aircraft (fighters or even attackers).
