Stroyny (Russian: Стройный, lit. 'Orderly') was one of 18 Storozhevoy-class destroyers (officially known as Project 7U) built for the Soviet Navy during the late 1930s. Although she began construction as a Project 7 Gnevny-class destroyer, Stroyny was completed in 1942 to the modified Project 7U design.
Beginning her sea trials when Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began in June 1941, the destroyer was placed in service to provide naval gunfire support in September. Stroyny spent the Siege of Leningrad bombarding German positions and was completed in September 1942. Postwar, she officially joined the Baltic Fleet and began a refit in 1953. The latter became a conversion into a rescue ship ultimately designated SS-17 that was completed in 1958. Reduced to a target ship in 1963, she was struck from the Navy List almost two years later, then scrapped.
