MBK 161 (1943) Armored Gunboat (Water Mod)

"Seagoing armoured motor gunboats". Wartime design was created in 1941-1942 on the basis of pre-war project 138, originally adapted for building in conditions of beleaguered Leningrad: in particular, she had simplified rectilinear hull form, lend-lease engines and turrets from T-34 tank as originally was planned. Boats differed by strong armament: under design 2 76mm guns, 1 37mm MG, 2 82mm mortars; but already since lead boats they instead of mortars had 45mm guns. Protection of serial boats frequently differed from designed: armour plates which are available at present on a factory were used. The design was approved 15/9/1943: one week prior to commission of lead boat.

Survived MBKs in 1946-1949 were classified as small gunboats.
