History The M-94 (Yard #118) was built at the Zavod No 112 (Krasnoje Sormovo), Gorkij at the River Wolga in sections, which were transported by railway to Zavod No 196 (Sudomekh) in Leningrad and was completed there. 
Notes on loss At 06.55 hours on 21 Jul, 1941, M-94 (SrLt Nikolaj Vasiljevich Djakov) was hit by one torpedo from U-140 and sank, while the U-boat attacked a second submarine at 07.06 hours with another torpedo, but missed. The second submarine was M-98, which rescued the commander and two survivors with a rubber dingy shortly afterwards. They had been on the conning tower when the torpedo hit and thought that the men inside were dead, but eight of them managed to leave the sunken submarine through the main hatch and were brought ashore by a launch.
