 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.
