Purpose-built ship for training of an antiaircraft artillery personnel, armed by various samples of antiaircraft guns and MGs (105mm/65, 88mm/45, 37mm/83 and 20mm/65). In wartime she could be used as a minelayer (she can carry up to 450 mines) or command ship. Besides 182 crew members ship took aboard up to 298 cadets.
