1. Probable "G" Class SSB (visible waterline length approx 320').
Hull shape and visible length contributed to this identification.
2. "G" Class SSB (visible waterline length approx 320').
Large sail, cleavages across top of sail, hull shape, and visible length
confirmed this identification.
3. Two probable DVINA Class YR (LOA approx 295').
Visible topside detail and unique superstructure aft contributed to this
evaluation.
4. "G" Class SSB (visible waterline length approx 320').
Large sail, hull shape, and visible length confirmed this identification.
Unidentified probable auxiliary (LOA approx 305').
This ship has a large island superstructure amidships and a small super-
structure aft. The function of this vessel could not be determined from
this photography.
6. Probable SKORYY Class DD (LOA approx 395').
This unit does not appear to be armed.
7. Probable OSKOL Class ASL (visible LOA approx 290').
Hull shape, possible well deck, and placement of superstructure contribute
to this evaluation.
8. Probable "PM-124" Class YRSN (LOA approx 305').
Hull shape, two hatches forward, superstructure arrangement, and
approximate length led to this identification.

11. Unidentified probable auxiliary (LOA approx 220') moored outboard of a
floating crane.
12. "H" Class SSBN (visible waterline length approx 380').
13. "H" Class SSBN (visible waterline length approx 380').
Hull shape, large sail, and the visible length of items 12 and 13
contributed to their identification as "H" Class. Identification as
to type (H-Igor H-II) could not be made for either of the "H" Class
units from this less than optimum photography.
