Modifications obviously had to be made on the hulls that were already under construction. This modified design was called Project 69-I. As an emergency solution, the Soviets bought surplus 380 mm guns and turrets from the Germans. The problem is that the 305 mm turrets were well behind schedule while the hulls were already under construction. Initially, the Kronshtadt-class (Project 69) was meant to be built with three triple 305 mm turrets with two superfiring at the front and one at the rear. Sevastopol was the second ship of the Kronshtadt-class of battlecruisers from the Soviet Union.
