Russian submarine "Minoga"
Description
Minoga (Russian: Минога, lit. 'lamprey') was a unique submarine designed by Ivan Bubnov that became the first diesel-electric submarine in the Imperial Russian Navy. It was inspired by the experience of earlier Russian submarines during the Russo-Japanese War. Minoga was ordered in February 1906 and laid down in September of that year at the Baltic Works in Saint Petersburg. It was launched in October 1908 and entered service in October 1909. It was the first submarine in the Russian Navy to use a diesel engine for power, and its armament included two torpedo tubes, one deck gun, and one machine gun.
