1. Two possible MAYAKOVSKIY Class Fish Factory ships (LOA approx 275').
2. Probable "W/R" Class SS (LOA approx 240').
3. POLTAVA/PEREKOP Class cargo ship (LOA approx 500').
4. UGRA Class AS (LOA approx 480'). Lack of athwartships mounts forward
and rounded bow - instead of blunt ramshorn bow - distinguish this
ship from the DON Class AS.
5. LAMA Class AEM (LOA approx 370'). Position of high mast, superstructure
shadow silhouette and forward well deck provide most prominent recognition
features.
6. Probable DNEPR Class AR (LOA approx 375'). A large bow lift extension is
visible and the stack placement is similar to this class. No forward mast
or raised-one foredeck is visible on this ship.
7. UGRA Class AS (LOA approx 480'). Athwartships gun mounts aft, the position
of the probable stack, and general topside and hull configuration contri-
bute to this identification.
8. Probable UGRA Class AS under construction (LOA approx 475'). The bridge
and fantail configuration are similar to annotation 7 above.
9. Probable POLTAVA/PEREKOP Class cargo ship under construction. (LOA approx
480'). Bow section is not yet completed.
10. Possible MAYAKOVSKIY Class Fish Factory in floating dock (LOA approx 275').
11. Probable DNEPR Class AR under construction bow first toward launch end
of building way. Large probable bow lift extension, position of forward
edge of bridge, and superstructure configuration provide principal
recognition features on which to base this qualified identification.
Visible LOA (before bow is obscured by stern overhang of vessel #13)
is approximately 365 feet.

12. Possible LAMA Class under construction stern first toward launch end
of building way. Position of leading edge of main superstructure from
stern and location of after edge of probable forward well deck contribute
to this evaluation. Visible LOA (before bow is obscured by stern over-
hang of vessel #13) is approximately 340 feet.
13. Large unidentified ship with uniquely configured, long tapered hull design
(LOA approx 635'; maximum beam approx 110'). Construction of a possible
superstructure is beginning just forward of amidships. Although no
identification can yet be made as to the function of this ship the
general hull configuration a ears to bear some resemblance to the
X1 which is classed as a cruiser
helicopter carrier. Based upon the few details visible on this
incompleted ship it would appear that she will differ from the
X1 0 in the following particulars: (1) she is some 45 feet longer and
approximately 30 feet wider in the beam; (2) she does not have a stepped-
down stern; and (3) the base of the possible superstructure does not
appear to be positioned as far forward on this vessel as on the
X1 Keel plates for this hull were first observed on this building
X1 way on
