Built in 1914, the Novik-class destroyer "Bystry", which was later renamed as the “Frunze”, became one of the best combat ships of the Russian Empire. The Frunze made it through the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the Allied Intervention, and she also participated in the Second World War, where she defended the USSR.
The ship has average mobility (her maximum speed is 32 knots) with good survivability, and she is also quite well armed.
On September 21, 1941, the destroyer, while rendering assistance to the sinking cannon boat "Red Armenia", "Frunze" was attacked by nine dive bombers Ju-87. During the raid the destroyer was hit by 5 bombs and, submerged in the water, sank (sat on the ground) at a depth of 6 meters.
