Project history

Rather successful ship of double assignment: minelayer and escort; in a peace time she was used as a fishery protection vessel. Nautilus has served as a prototype for a number of subsequent projects. She differed by good seaworthiness, however had no covered mine deck. In a role of escort she was appeared ineffective because of weakness of antiaircraft armament.

Naval service
