The '''''Derzky''''' or '''''Bespokoiny''-class destroyers''' was a [[ship class|class]] of [[destroyer]]s built for the [[Imperial Russian Navy]] just before [[World War I]]. Nine ships were built for the [[Black Sea Fleet]]. These ships were a derivative of the {{ship|Russian destroyer|Novik|1913|2|up=yes}}, but were slightly smaller. These ships were popular with the Russians and effective particularly in the Black Sea, where the [[Ottoman Navy]] had no similar ships.
