These submarines were developed since 1930 as small patrol submarines for Baltic, but since 1932 usage in the Far East became priority, where, thanks to the small dimensions, they could be transported without dismantling. The design was approved in September, 1932. Single-hulled all-welded (M-1-6 were riveted), CT and bridge were made from duralumin. On trials bad seaworthiness, a considerable diving time (2min) and surface speed shortage (11kts instead of designed 13kts) were revealed. Modernizations: 1940-1943, all: + Mars-8 hydrophone
Naval service
M-51 was sunk 22.9.1943 at diving at Ochamchiri, 25.9.1943 she was raised and commissioned again but served as survey vessel from December 1944. M-19 collided with submarine M-12 1.6.1948 and sunk but salvaged next day and commissioned again.
