Torpedo Retriever TL-1539
Project 1388 / Shelon Class

 

The Torpedo Retrievers is utilized in support of torpedo exercises. It is designed as retrieve torpedoes in the sea. The boat had their aft ends cut away and are open to the sea, and an inclined deck from about deckhouse to the stern. The retrievers jump into action thenever a submarine or warship has firing practice torpedo. They chase a torpedo as it nears the end of its run, toss a lasso over it and wiggle the torpedo aboard.

Torpedo Retriever TL-1539 laid down at the Sosnovsky Shipyard, commissioned on 30 November 1985 and was assigned to the Caspian Flotilia.

In 1992 the torpedo retriever was transferred to the Baltic Fleet, and in 1998 - to the Black Sea Fleet.
