| History | Launched in October 1931 and completed in 1932 as steam trawler RT-66 Ural for Sevgosrybtrest/NKRP, Murmansk. On 14 July 1941 requisitioned by the Soviet Navy, converted to the patrol vessel SKR-62 (No 70) and assigned to the Northern Fleet on 16 July. On 20 September 1941 renamed SKR-11 (No 70). | ||
| Notes on event | At 20.17 hours on 18 October 1941 U-132 fired one G7a torpedo at a steamer of about 1500 grt north of Mys Kachkovskij and reported a hit after 16 seconds and the subsequent sinking of the vessel within 30 seconds. The target must have been the SKR-11 (No 70), which was reported missing after the armed trawler did not return from patrol at the entrance to the White Sea and was presumed mined between 20 and 24 October 1941. | ||
