During WWII, the Soviet NTK VMF (Scientific and Technical Committee of the Navy), among other tasks, was engaged in the design of ships of various types, from battleships and aircraft carriers to boats. Since the war between the Soviet Union and Germany was fought mainly in shallow seas, on rivers and lakes, a significant part of the projects were developed for operations in these areas. Basically, these were preliminary designs of small ships (destroyers, minesweepers, gunboats, river monitors), on the basis of which more detailed designs were created in design bureaus.
Some little-known wartime projects of NTK-developed ships or ships analyzed in NTK.
Part I - River warships
1.Floating battery based on two 'Tender'-type utility boat in two variants:
2.Floating battery on the motor pontoon SP-19:
3."Medium" river monitor (probably pr.304) :
4. "Small" river monitors (probably pr.303)- variants 1-2, 3, and 4:
