After a guy told me to try again warship's drawing i did this..

It's about the soviet Leader Destroyer Tashkent during the WWII, it was a famous ship of the Black Sea.
A lone unit, first and only one of her never completed class, the Tashkent was a modern unit of Italian building.
It was famous also for her particular colour that give her the nick-names of Blue Ship, Blu Beauty and Blue Cruiser.

During the first siege of Sevastopol, the Tashkent did an incredible work, evacuating thousends of civilians and saving them from the Nazi massacres.
She sailed for 27 000 miles, escorted without loss of 17 different transports, carried 19 300 people, and supplied
2 538 tons of ammunition, food and other goods into Sevastopol.
The ship did also 100 different bombing operation against the Nazi, destroying 6 batteries and one airfield.
13 enemy aircraft were shot down during the operations and during the night of 18 September 1941 she was attacked by a pair of Rumenian motor torpedo boat.
This art it's about this battle, one torpedo hit the Tashkent but failed to detonate, the reaction's fire destroyed one attacking boat.

During one last voyage she was attacked many times by the Luftwaffe and damaged, she still managed to reach the harbour and remained there.
When the the Nazi occupied the city, they did other damagesat the abandoned ship, and when Soviet finally recovered her, she was too damaged for being repaired.
The guns were saved, but the hull was scrapped.

A bit sad end for a ship that saved thousends of innocent people by the Nazi mass murders..
