Kashin-class guided missile destroyer

1960 class of Soviet anti-submarine destroyers

The Kashin class, Soviet designation Project 61, is a series of anti-aircraft guided-missile destroyers, majority of which was built for the Soviet Navy during the 1960s, and which became the first class of major warships in the world to be powered solely by gas turbine engines. As of 2026, no ships of this class remain in service with the Russian Navy, but three modified ships built in the late 1970s - early 1980s continue their service with the Indian Navy as Rajput-class destroyers.
