Project history: Turret gunboats, ordered by "Special committee on organisation of coastal defence" 12.5.1907 for Amur flotilla. They were built in St. Petersburg then transported in the taken apart kind by railway to Sretensk where they were assambled and launched. First-ever surface ships with main diesels. Differed by rather strong for the sizes protection and armament in turrets. Ships had original form of aft end excluding effect of "suction" of flat bottom on shoal.
Ship protection: Ships had considerable heavy protection, all guns placed in well-protected turrets.

Naval service: In days of the First World War diesels were removed from ships for installation on Baltic submarines, then, during Civil war and intervention, they were partly captured by Japanese, partly seriously damaged and incapacitated (Groza completely). Restoration of remaining ships was started in 1920s. Thus three ships received 4 twin 120mm guns in turrets (because of a lack of guns originally part of ships had wooden dummy barrels established), and Sverdlov received 4 single 152mm guns in deck mounts. 6.11.1928 ships of class were re-rated as monitors. Vikhr in 1927 was converted to seaplane tender Amur. Groza 23.12.1921 was blown up by crew at Khabarovsk to avoid capture by Japanese and later never repaired.
