Also there was a russian protected cruiser, Cruiser Askold which was a very advanced ship when she was constructed. She was a very fast protected cruiser with a unique look, and she also had an active career. 

Just looked up the Askold. The profile reminds me of the Omaha-class. Also, funnels much? lol

Okay, time for me to ramble about Imperial Russian Warships and to clear up some misconceptions, bias and phobia.

No, Russia for the most part did not build quality warships in any way shape or form. This is not bias, this is fact. The simple reason, with out getting overly long winded is that Imperial Russia just didn't have the infrastructure or industry and really wasn't "modren enough" to build these warships and on top of that the Russian Navy has always placed second in priority to the Russian Army given Russia's limited access to the ocean. 

Fact is, for the most part, most of the Imperial Russian Navies most successful or well built ships were designed or/and built in foreign yards to Russian specifications or needs, and domestically built iterations in a class were of poorer quality. How many Russian ships were built abroad? At least half of their destroyers and torpedo boats were either built in France or Germany, primarily in Elbing, or La Harve or La Seyne. Roughly half of their protected cruiser fleet was either entirely or in part built abroad in America, France or Germany. While a non-insignificant amount of their Armored cruisers and a small number of their pre-dreadnought battleships were American, French or British.  Even their dreadnought battleships were, in part, foreign designed.

To back up these statements I cite the following.

Of the 18 classes of Destroyer or TBD, 9 were foreign built or designed. The Sokol class TBD was designed in Britain, with the lead ship being built in London. The Leitenant Burakov was built in Germany. The Kit Class was built entirely in Germany. The Forel class was built entirely in France. The Som Class was built in Britain. The Leitenant Burakov class was entirely built in France. The Kapitan Yurasovskiy class was entirely built in Germany. The Vsadnik class was entirely built in Germany. The uh... aforementioned Novik class destroyers were *cough cough* designed by Germany. Woops... 

2 of 5 classes of Armored Cruisers were designed or built abroad. The Bayan Class Armored cruisers were built in France and the (second) Rurik class was built by Vickers.

Of the 11 classes of Protected Cruisers, 7 were foreign designed and built. The Admiral Kornilov was built in France. The Protected cruiser Varyag was built in America as was the Prut though she was originally for the ottomans but ended up in Russian hands as a war prize. The Askold (aforementioned) which was the fastest cruiser in the Russian Navy and the Novik (not to be mistaken with the destriyer) another world renown cruiser, as well as the Izumurd, the Bogatyr, and though seized and never delivered the Muraviev Amurski class were all built in Germany. The Boyarin was built by the Danes. Many of these ships were the lead ship of their class and subsequent ships were built at home. These domestic copies, built to foreign designs and in many cases with foreign machinery and equipment we're of poorer quality. 

1 of their 2 classes of Torpedo Cruisers, the Kazarskii class were designed by and mostly built in Germany.

The Russians built most of their pre-dreadnought battleships with a few notable exceptions. The Retvizan class were built in America. The Tsesarevich was built in France, and the Borodino class were of French design - basically poor copies of the Tsesarevich. 

Even the Russian Gangut class Dreadnoughts were heavily designed by the British. 

It wasn't until Russia became Soviet Russia that their navy switched to almost entirely domestically built warships entirely because everyone hated commies and didn't want to help them, with the only foreign built in service being lend-lease and captured warships. Even still, soviet naval rosters are dwarfed by the number of ships in service under the Tsar.

 

So. There ya go.

I didn't forget to add anything. You lack reading comprehension. 13 armored cruisers consisting of 5 different classes. A class of ship is a set of ships built to a similar, often times identical design. Do you really want to bring up the 3 classes of psudo-armored frigates classified as armored cruisers built during the 1870s and 80s that were obsolete upon completion? The General-Admiral class? The Vladimir Monomakh? The Admiral Nakhimov?

How about how the Rurik, Rossia and Gromoboi were horribly out classed by the British HMS Powerful and HMS Terrible built to counter them?

I see the bait was taken. My apologizes, I was trying to cleanly move away from the trash fire that was the ineffective and impotent soviet navy as I didn't want to get into that and was trying to focus on Russia's last competent navy. But if you really want me to get into that. Okay, here we go. 

First, you've already proven my point I was making above that the Russians couldn't develop or produce any domestic designs completely on their own. None of the ships you've stated were designed completely by the Russians. None of them. 

Project 1, the Leningrad class. 6 ships built in an absolutely disastrous program, they were more a copy of the french Vauquelin class and were mechanically a step above a failure. The soviets wildly overestimated their ability to build "large" warships and were woefully unprepared to build these destroyers. In some cases 90% of parts, machinery and equiptment produced for them were refused. Several critical aspects of their development such as their power plants and weapons weren't in development until, in some cases 3 years into the ships building. Top heavy, mechanically unreliable.

Project 7, the Gnevny class destroyer. Italian designed and engineered, they too suffered from mechanical unrealiability and had limited sea worthyness. However they were the largest group of surface warships built by the soviet navy, period. With between 29 and 31 being built depending on your sources. 

The Tashkent, 1 built, though a pretty decent ship all around. Some times you get it right, it helps when it's design is 100% an enlarged copy of an Italian destroyer, the Navigatori. Though for the time she was increadibly under armored and under armed. 

As yes, the Kirovs. Italian designed, Italian engineered, Soviet industry was not capable of designing such a large and complex vessel, as such the Ansaldo company, responsible for the Condotierri class was contacted. They provided the soviets with plans of their latest design, the Raimondo Montecuccoli-class cruisers. They also provided engineers and assistance in order to draw the final planes on Soviet specifications. 4 were built during the war and they basically hid in Leningrad and completed the occasional shore bombardment mission. 

Lel the Lutzow, sold to the soviets incomplete, never completed by the soviets, aside from functioning as a floating battery it never served as a functional warship. 

A propulsion system bought from a land locked country...? Really? Reallllly?

The Soviets never built any battleships, your argument there is null and void. Paper ships count for about as much as the ships you design in this game in the world of actual naval capabilities. 

So still no, the west wasn't willing to assists the soviets during the interwar period with their warship designs or construction. Citing support from Fascists states, which, mind you economically aren't capitalist does not mean what you think it means. There was no willingness to supply the soviets demands for war material until WW2 kicked off, because the enemy of my enemy is my ally. Thus why over the course of the war the United States supplied the Soviet Union a total of 17,499,861 tons of military equipment, supplies and food the Soviets couldn't produce.

1935 to 1955 the Soviets built the Svetlana Class, Admiral Nakhimov class, Kirov Class, Chapayev Class, and Sverdlov Class.

The Svetlana Class was designed and work started in the 1910s, under the Russian Empire. Finished by the Soviets. Well 1 was.

The Admiral Nakhimov class was designed and work started in the 1910s, under the Russian Empire. Finished by the Soviets. Well, 2 were.

We've already discussed the Kirov Class.

The Chapayev Class, rearmed and heavily modified Kirov Classes. Of the 17 planned, 5 were completed.

The Sverdlov Class, influenced by Italian, German and Soviet designs and projects prior to WW2 were "were left dangerously unprotected when operating in areas outside the cover of land-based aircraft. Their secondary mission, operating on their own as commerce raiders, was also compromised as they would be extremely vulnerable, in good weather, to USN Carrier Battle Groups equipped with modern strike aircraft and to the remaining Baltimore and Des Moines class cruisers equipped with 8 inch guns." But they did build 14.

So yes, you're right, 28 cruisers is more than 13. And how many Battleships did the soviets build? Because the Imperial Russian Navy build 26. 

Okay so, last but not least.

AHAHAHAH HAHAHA HAHAHA Oh, oh your serious, let me laugh harder! The Soviets, even with american purchased battleship designs and faragut destroyers a "strong navy"? A "threat to the United States"?

And how many aircraft carriers did the soviet union have, ever?

Lets look at some numbers. 

The Soviets started WW2 with 4 battleships, 10 cruisers, 59 destroyers and 218 submarines. 291 warships.

The Soviets would end the war with 4 battleships, 11 cruisers, 77 destroyers and 309 submarines. 401 warships. 

During the war they'd build 1 cruiser, 18 destroyers, and 91 Submarines. 

The US Navy ended WW2 with.... 29 battleships, 83 cruisers, 1125 destroyers, 344 submarines, 166 Aircraft Carriers (of all flavors) 

Yes, obvious. Very obvious. 

Which is why it's obvious that during the Cold War the Soviets focused on building loud, unreliable Submarines, many of which were developed from the German Type XXI, as well as a very very small surface fleet and had a grand total of roughly 713 ships as of the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. And of that 713, 35 were cruisers, 53 were destroyers, 186 were frigates, 171 were corvettes, 268 were submarines, and none were fleet carriers.  

I'm done man, the only Myth here is that the Soviets had a credible, powerful and effective Navy.

The Yankees shared a lot with the Soviets, but naval technology was not one of that. And yes, if you look at modern fleets, the Russian and Chinese fleets occupy high positions. And America doesn't like China or Russia. Just like they disliked Japan and Great Britain before the WW2.

You know, I've never said anything like that. The Soviets built some good ships and in the Russian Empire also built good ships sometimes. But I didn't say anything about "credible, powerful and effective Navy".

If you've been trying all this time to tell me that the Red Fleet in WWII sucks, then you've been fighting windmills.

The Tsar's Gangut and Svetlana were unsuccessful ships, built according to unsuccessful ideas. Noviks were good, but by WWII they are outdated, just like yankees Flush-deckers. Kirov, Leningrad and 7n were the first new ship generation of the Soviet navy and as always in the case of "we do this for the first time" they had a lot of problems. 

You can look at the problems of the Americans with the Zumwalt, the litioral ships. This is quite typical. Everybody's screwing up. 

The second generation of the Soviet fleet had its drawbacks, but it generally corresponded to world standards. Thanks to Hitler, these ships were built only after the war, when they shot no less than all the other ships of the pre-war projects of any countries.

I personally believe that the place Red Fleet in WWII somewhere close to the French and Italian fleets. Of course, they had more powerful and modern ships than the Soviets, but there was little good in this. The Italians high command the completely devalued the potential power of their fleet. And the most famous events of the French fleet in WWIIt was a massacre, which they staged first by the British, then by the Yankees. The first fleets in the WW2 are British, American and Japanese. The Soviet was not even close. The time of the communists navy came later, during the Cold War.
