Dvina class river gunboat, laid down 1920
Length, 67.0 m x Beam, 6.8 m x Depth, 1.8 m
661 tonnes normal displacement (585 tonnes standard)
Main battery: 2 x 15.0-cm
Secondary
battery: 4 x 3.7-cm
Light battery: 8 x 1.3-cm
Weight of broadside: 97 kg
50 tons cargo/mines
Main belt, 3.0 cm; bow and stern, 2.0 cm
Upper belt, 3.0 cm
Armor deck, average 1.0 cm
Conning tower, 3.0 cm
Battery armor:
Main, 3.0 cm shields
/ secondary, 3.0 cm shields
light guns, 3.0 cm shields
Maximum speed for 752 shaft kw = 14.00 knots
Approximate cruising radius, 4000 nm / 12 knots
Typical complement: 65-85
Estimated cost, $441,000 (£110,000)
Remarks:
Relative extent of belt armor, 57 percent of 'typical' coverage.
Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
Magazines and engineering spaces are roomy, with superior
watertight
subdivision.
Cramped ship; poor crew accommodation, limited working space.
