Project history

Original ship, in some kind successor of the first Ericsson`s Monitor. She had low-freeboard armoured hull completely deprived of superstructures on which the massive rotating turret with two 102mm guns was raised. The conning tower was consolidated on a turret roof and rotated together with it, that became one of the basic lacks of the design. On full speed ship created big stern wave and badly answered the helm. Though Aktivny intended for actions on Pripyat and upper part of Dnepr, in connection with circumstances complication in the Far East she was in the taken apart kind transported to Khabarovsk where she was completed.
