Project history: Submarines of "combined"
type storing powerful torpedo armament at possibility to laid mines. In
construction experience of building of D class submarines
was used, and also decisions borrowed from raised British subarine L55.
Saddle-tank hull. Mines were carried in two horizontal watertight
tubes and laid astern.
Submarines of II series were built for Baltic and Black Seas. In 1934 for
Pacific Fleet there was begun building of XI series, in which construction
a number of changes was brought. These submarines
were laid down on European shipyards, then taken apart and transported by
railways for completion to the Far East. By experience of their building XIII series
submarines were built. Their construction was simplified for convenience of transportation and acceleration of outfitting works. Besides,
for XIII series the new hull was developed on the basis of IX series
submarine drawings (diameter of a pressure hull was moderated
from 4.85 to 4.6m), and also 2 TT were installed aft out of a pressure hull, that has entailed reduction of mines
stowage from 20 to 18. Series XIII-38 differed from previous
by new diesels and a number of other details, mines stowage was again increased to 20.
Maximal diving depth for II and XI series was 90 m; for subsequent 100m.
Modernizations: 1940-1943, all: - hydrophone; + Mars-16 hydrophone
1943, L-15: + type 286M radar
1944, L-14, L-17, L-19; 1945, L-18: + type 129 sonar
Naval service: L-16 was sunk 11.10.1942 by Japanese submarine I25 in 300nm NW off San Francisco. L-19 was lost 23-24.8.1945 NW of Hokkaido, possibly on a mine.
