Description: Besides the navigating bridge the vessel had a three-legged
main mast and tw4angled smokestacks.
The main battery consisted of two gun turrets on the forward deck with
three barrels in each turret, and one turret on the after deck with two, or
possibly three, barrels.
On the lower platform of the navigating bridge was placed a smaller gun
turret on either side. Between the after smokestack and the after gun turret,
two turrets of this same side were placed.
On both sides of the after smokestack there were three slightly larger gun
turrets.
The navigating bridge was built up on four legs from the middle of the bridge
structure, and at the top was a box-shaped building with two, possibly three,
extensions on each side. On the after side of the tower a bar-mast had been
placed on which there were several grid-antennas as well as the radar antenna.
The main mast was a three-legged mast with a boora that was lowered forward.
Somewhat above the rigging a radar antenna was visible, and at the top of the mast
antenna
there was some other equipment.
the vessel had three radar antennas,

At the top of the ball there was an elevation that could have been an opening,

a. At Pier No. 5 at the repair-shop there was an ice-breaker of about fire or
six thousand tons. The ice-breaker had two smokestacks, was equipped and
appeared to be undergoing repairs.
Farthest north in the shop area, a slipway was observed of the type that
can take ships of four or five hundred tons. Floating docks were riot observed.
b. Opposite the Baltic shipyards lay a tankship tied up along the pier*
size was maintained to be forty thousand tons.
the ship had been launched from Baltic on 29 August.
c. At Krylov the ice-breaker LENIN was observed. (The name was on the stern
and on a plate on the top bridge).

bridge structure was high and reminded one of a naval vessel. There were two

southwest of the anchorage buoys, a marker buoy 50X1-HUM

buoy was N 60 0212' - E 29 23.01, and the shipping lane runs on the southern
50X1-HUM
side of the buoy.
the navy had put
out the buoy. As far as radio-contact between commercial vessels and Leningrad
was concerned, the navy had been unable to do anything about this. Some
department or other had to be applied to, in Moscow.
4. NET OBSTRUCTIONS: The eastern entrance to the harbor at Kronst=, It was barred
with nets. Traffic to and from the harbor was carried on through the western
passage. There was a control-tower on the breakwater just east of the entrance
that was used, and the tower was manned. A similar tower had been placed just
east of the fenced-in area.
5. SHORT INSTALLATIONS: On the southemcoast of Kotlin, just about midway between
Constantine and Feter Forts a fairly large, new building was observed, placed
with its opening facing the sea.
Inside the building were eight or ten "stalls" large enough to house an
MTB. There were MTB's in all of the "stalls". The building appeared to be
constructed of concrete.
6. THE HARBOR: At Pier No. 2 was a very excellent concrete pier with good crane
equipment, including heavy-lifting cranes.
From the north end of the grain silo on Pier No. 7 and north to Fier No. 5,
posts were being sunk. The iron posts were hammered down just outside the old

west of Kronstadt, a,.submarine was sighted on course towards
Sesk1r. The same sub was seen in the harbor at Kronstadt 50X1-HUM
Description: It was a very large submarine
with an estimated length of 120-130 meters, and estimated tonnage, circa
2500 tons. The hull was narrower and more streamlined than is usual. The
bow was slanted, rounded at the top, with a shiny dome on the hull forward, a
very simple and very large tower; the after deck slanted,-evenly down to the
50X1-HUM
water, contrary to what is true of ordinary subs,
this one obviously had no holes in the casing. When the sub was sighted under-
way, it proceeded at very great speed, estimated
to be 25-26 50X1-HUM
it was not impossible that the exhaust could be released at the
water surface without this being visible, because of the great speed of the
sub. The sub proceeded, contrary to what is usually true of submarines, so 50X1-HUM

ful upright lathe. The treater part of the mnchiner'r was of
non-Russian make
L. Plate shop where plates are cut partly manually and partly
automatically. The latter method operates so that .a light
beam follows lines on the ship's plans (template) and is then
transferred via an electric circuit to a large cutting, unit
in the shop which cuts the plates accordingly.
Erection building for keel strakes, frame bending etc. Here
the combination rudder/propeller shield, as seen on the tug-
boats under construction, were made. (see Sketch No. 2.)
6. A slip under roof without gables. On the slip stoop' three
tugboats of the icebreaker type, about 30 meters ].onc. The
ships were built after the traveling band principl? so that
the ship nearest the river was almost ready for 1eunchin',
number two half finished and number three just becun. The
ships were fitted with icebreaker bows, four blade(-' bronze
propellers with a very strong ice guard (shield). The ^'uard.
