Project history: The single-seat boat representing considerably an increased electric torpedo. Designing has been begun in connection with delay of building and trials of Hecht type midgets. Molch type submarines had no surface machinery, as has predetermined low battle efficiency.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: No significant events.
