Grom (Russian: Гром) was one of eight Orfey-class destroyers built for the Imperial Russian Navy during the First World War. The ship's main battery consisted of four 102 mm (4 in) guns and she also armed with nine 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes. Completed in 1916, she served with the Baltic Fleet and made six raids into the Baltic Sea to attack German shipping or lay minefields. The ship was sunk during the Battle of Kassar Wiek when the Germans invaded the West Estonian Archipelago in October 1917 (Operation Albion).
