The Fidonisy or Kerch class were a group of destroyers built for the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. They were a slightly enlarged version, with an extra 102-millimetre (4 in) gun and more torpedo tubes, of the Derzky-class destroyers, a derivative of the Russian destroyer Novik. These ships fought in World War I, the Russian Civil War, and World War II.
