Unveiling the Shchuka-class: general characteristics and a dive into its operational history
Resilience was demonstrated by the Soviet submarines of the Shchuka class, which were vital in World War II. The vessels that survived were in use until the 1950s, although the majority were lost. The Shchukas had a lasting influence on China since, in 1954, the People's Liberation Army Navy received M-class submarines and S-121 and S-123 on loan.
