Morzh-class Submarine
The ''Morzh''-class submarines were built for the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy shortly before World War I. Background The class was originally conceived as part of an ambitious programme of naval construction devised by the Naval General Staff in 1909. This envisaged, among other things, the construction of six submarines for the Black Sea Fleet. The procurement was heavily cut back and delayed; in 1910, the Russian State Duma agreed to a portion of the naval plan to reinforce the Black Sea Fleet, including the construction of the six submarines. Three ''Narval''-class submarines were ordered along with three of the new ''Morzh''-class boats. The ''Narval'' class was a design developed by the Holland company for Russia. Design The design of the ''Morzh'' class was based on , a vessel that was considered to be the most successful of the Russian-designed submarines built to date. The design of the new class was carried out at the Baltic Shipyard under Ivan Grig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Nizhegorodsky Uyezd
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Military Personnel From Nizhny Novgorod
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. It is typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms ''armed forces'' and ''military'' are often treated as synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces. There are various forms of irregular military forces, not belonging to a recognized state; though they share many attributes with regular military forces, they are less often referred to as simply ''military''. A nation's military may f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nobel & Lessner
The Nobel & Lessner Company was formed in 1912 by the merger of Ludwig Nobel Works and G. A. Lessner Works to build submarines for the Imperial Russian Navy. Ludwig Nobel specialized in diesel engines and Lessner had built a very small experimental submarine (''Keta'') in 1905. The engine plant remained in Saint Petersburg, but a new shipyard was built in Reval, Estonia in 1913–1914. The hulls of first three submarines contracted for were built by the Admiralty Works and moved to Reval while the new shipyard was under construction. Five submarines were built in 1915–1916 before construction was disrupted by the February Revolution of 1917. The company was renamed as Petrograd Shipyard (''Petrovskaya Verf'') in 1916.de Saint Hubert and Drashpil, pp. 355–56 References Bibliography * See also *Noblessner Noblessner (also known as Peetri sadam) is a harbour and former industrial area in the northern district of Tallinn, Estonia.
