While designing the Project 82 heavy cruiser, the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry of the U.S.S.R. ordered drafts of a "small battleship"—a ship equipped with 1–2 turrets housing main- and medium-caliber guns and enhanced bow armor. In 1951–1952, nine preliminary draft projects were prepared. One of the projects was armed with two triple-gun turrets with 406 mm guns and was recommended for further development. After Stalin's death, the construction of heavy artillery ships was no longer relevant, and the project wasn't completed.
