--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Story:

The Sokol 1938, designated as Project 62, stands as a testament to Soviet maritime ambition in the pre-WWII era. With its sleek 169-meter hull and formidable armament, this vessel was designed to dominate both reconnaissance and combat operations. Its impressive displacement of over 9,500 tons and a power output exceeding 32,000 horsepower made it a formidable presence on the seas.

Equipped with a Beriev Be-4 reconnaissance seaplane, multiple anti-aircraft guns, torpedo tubes, and heavy artillery, the Sokol 1938 was built to handle threats from air, sea, and beneath the waves. The combination of firepower, speed, and versatility reflects the strategic foresight of Soviet naval architects during a time of rapid military innovation.
