## Description

Enemies of the proletarian state believed that after their intervention in the Civil War the Soviet Union would be incapable of becoming one of the great sea powers again for a long time.• Pravda, December 1935 In early 1935, General Secretary Josef V. Stalin ordered the Red Navy to draft plans for a massive fleet based around large battleships. The Second Five-Year Plan, already under way, had called for huge coastal-defense forces. Under the Third Five-Year Plan, that would be extended to sea control far beyond Soviet shores. Technical assistance, armaments, plans and even entire warships were pursued or purchased in Germany, Italy and the United States. Powerful battleships armed with the heaviest guns would be the fleet's backbone, with flocks of cruisers and destroyers to support them.

It covers Stalin's plans for a dominant fleet in the Black Sea, plus the fleets and naval air forces of Turkey and Romania. Background articles cover Soviet shipbuilding plans, the Soviet naval air forces, the Second World War campaigns on the Black Sea, Turkish and Romanian fleets and plans for larger ones, and more. Scenarios cover both the
