Was attacked by German torpedo boats and capitulated in undamaged condition [as such case was quite unusual for Russian/Soviet naval traditions, the loss of traitor boat was described as loss in heavy combat with Germans]. Later Germans gave it to Finns, who used it as "Viima".
2. TKA No. 52 [type D-3] - 14.10.1941 lost his place in group of torpedo boats during mission Gogland-Hango because of storm [near bank Kallbedari], was captured by Finns and used as patrol boat "Vasama". 26.10.1944 - returned back to USSR [used till 06.10.1949].
