March 17, 1918 in an unfinished state was captured by German troops. Later, the hull of the unfinished ship was sequentially captured by the troops of Ukraine, the Red Army and the All-Union Federal Reserve .
In 1923-1925, the ship was completed in Nikolaev at the plant named after A. Marty; December 12, 1925 joined the Black Sea Maritime Forces (MSCM). In May-June 1928, "Shaumyan" paid a visit to Constantinople . In October 1930, the destroyer paid a second visit to Istanbul, and also visited the Mediterranean ports of Piraeus and Messina . From October 5, 1928 to July 16, 1930 and in 1935 the ship underwent major repairs [2] [3] .
By the beginning of World War II, "Shaumyan" was part of the 1st destroyer division. During the period of hostilities he participated in mine productions, escorting transports and the defense of Odessa . Since the beginning of November 1941, he took part in the defense of Sevastopol .

On April 3, 1942, "Shaumyan" in heavy snow made the transition from Novorossiysk to Poti . Due to gross violations of the rules of navigational service, the ship ran aground not far from Gelendzhik in the vicinity of Cape Tonky ( Bay) at During the accident, the ship broke through the bottom and lay on the ground. It was not possible to remove the ship from the stones, subsequently the ship was completely destroyed by storms and German aircraft.
