| DRZEWIECKI
Class of Midget Submarines.
A total of 52 Midget submarines were built by
the Polish Engineer Stefanb Drzewiecki. The Class was split into three
groups. a main factor for this class being built was due to the
build up of the Turkish navy in the Black sea. And used during the
Russia Turkish war on 1877. They were armed with two mines. which
were attached to the underside of the enemy vessel, manually fixed
with sucker type fittings. they successfully completed trials using this
form of Mine to great success. But further progress with the
series was not funded as the war with turkey came to a close.
various modifications were carried out to the rest of the class. with
the third series of midget submarines converted to electrical
power. The submarines were stationed at Kronstadt, Odessa and
Sebastopol. Most of these submarines finally end up as bouys.
except one of the Type III which was re constructed (renamed Keta) and
served in the far east in the Amur estuary and during the |Russia Japanese
were became beached during an attack on a Japanese destroyer and finally
removed form service ion the 19th June 1908. No names were given
to these submarines so they are not listed as usual.

estimates. They were a enlarged version of the protector class. They
were completed in 1910 but not excepted into the navy due to a number of
flaws and faults. But the Russian Naval ministry took the
submarines from the builders without paying the full price ti insure

not sell the submarines abroad. After a n umber of small
alterations they were commissioned in 1911. and formed the 2nd Submarine
Flotilla of the Baltic Fleet. becoming the 3rd Submarine Flotilla in
1915. In the opening years of the war the submarines saw alot of service
with Alligator and Kaiman seizing German prices in October 1915. On the

The submarines were finally scuttled ay Reval to save them falling into German
