Greetings!
Just what was the designation of the Soviet naval institute in Feodosia concerned with torpedoes and mines?
Scientific Institute for Mines and Torpedoes?
Cheers

Re: Naval Institute in Feodosia
I guess, the think in question is Zavod No. 238 near Feodosia (aka "Gidropribor" factory post-war) which was a facility for manufacture and research of torpedoes.
Research Institute for Mines&Torpedoes did really existed, but it was in Leningrad.

Re: Naval Institute in Feodosia
Thank you Art.
I have
AM T-403 Gruz
AM T-411 Zashchitnik
AM Dzhalita
AM Doroteya
These vessels were apparently lent to this Institute by the Black Sea Fleet on 22 June 1941, with the indication "Attached to Mine & Torpedo Institute of Scientific [sic], stationed in Feodosia." Perhaps that could further define the institute?

(AM = minesweeper)

Re: Naval Institute in Feodosia
From the database of Soviet factories Zavod No.238 in Feodosia was also known as "Torpedo test factory" ("torpedno-ispytatelniy zavod"). The same database also had only NIMTI in Leningrad as anything close to "Torpedo research institute".
They mean the ships stationed or the institute? I would propose the simplest version, namely that the Leningrad institute sent a group running some tests at factory No.238 in Feodosia. Or it could be just a mistake in the original source.These vessels were apparently lent to this Institute by the Black Sea Fleet on 22 June 1941, with the indication "Attached to Mine & Torpedo Institute of Scientific [sic], stationed in Feodosia.
