Russian balloon supply ship ( or tender )

Posts 1 to 5

Hello , What was the name of the Imperial Russian Navy balloon tender ca.1904 ? As far as i remember she was able to carry 4 small Cacquot like balloons for scouting an ennemy fleet ?

Hi P@lp You might be thinking of the 'Russ' Sorry about the poor picture. Hope this helps....John

My reference work for the Russian fleet is based on WW1 and does not mention a balloon tender, but there was a seaplane tender built 1903 (but given the date obviously not as a seaplane tender!) with the Baltic fleet named Orlica (or Orlitsa depending on how one transliterates the cyrillic). It was of 3,800 tons and deployed 4 seaplanes.
