Kaiman-class submarine

From Warlike

The Kaiman class consisted of four submarines begun for the Imperial Russian Navy during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. Construction did not commence until after the war was ended and was very protracted with the boats not being completed until 1911 due to numerous defects that resulted in a legal battle between Lake and the Russian Government. The Russians impounded them in 1910 and they had to be rebuilt to remedy some of the defects. Assigned to the Baltic Fleet, they were very active during the early part of the First World War, albeit with little success. They were decommissioned in late 1916 to release their crews for newly constructed submarines.
