Project history

Multipurpose shallow-draught crafts intended for laying mines and anti-submarine nets. Lead Pripyat ` was converted from Volga diesel-engined tug Demosfen built in Nizhni Novgorod in 1914. Design appeared successful, and in 1916 the order for building of 8 more ships for Baltic has been given out. However, no any of them served on Baltic: Terek, Kuban ` and Indigirka were completed in 1918-1919 as gunboats for Volga Flotilla, remaining ships were never completed. In May, 1917 the order on building of multi-purpose diesel-engined ships of Strengthened Demosfen class combining features of minelayers, netlayers and gunboats (500t, 1600hp, 14kts, 3 102mm/60 guns, 1 76mm AA gun, 60 mines) was given out. This program remained non-realised.

Laid down in 1916 in settlement Bor off Nizhniy Novgorod as netlayer Iset for Baltic Fleet, completed after Civil war.
