Razyaryonny (Russian: Разъярённый, lit. 'Furious') was one of 29 Gnevny-class destroyers (officially known as Project 7) built for the Soviet Navy during the late 1930s. Originally named Peredovoy, she was renamed Razyaryonny before completion in late 1941, and was assigned to the Pacific Fleet.
About a year after the German invasion of Russia in June 1941, she was ordered to join the Northern Fleet, sailing through the Arctic Ocean. Together with several other destroyers, Razyaryonny left the Soviet Far East in July 1942 and arrived off Murmansk three months later, suffering a bent propeller shaft that during the journey that kept her under repair until January 1943. Just days after becoming operational, she ran aground and was under repair until June. Escorting convoys from mid-1943, the destroyer was torpedoed by a German submarine in January 1945, losing her stern. Razyaryonny was repaired postwar using a stern salvaged from a sunken sister ship and served until the late 1950s, when she was sunk during a nuclear test.
