photography of Sestroretsk Zaliv and the coastal area within
10 mil es of Sestroretsk was studied in an attempt to locate a repord
torpedo test range or torpedo storage facilities.
Although positive confirmation is not possible from a study of this
photography, an isolated military installation at the tip of Cape Lisiy Nos,
five miles south of Sestroretsk, might be engaged in torpedo s e and test-
ing activity. This installation is not new. It is evident on
photography, but a new revetted buil has been constructed sine and
the installation appears active on photography. The railroad spur which
served the installation during the war appears to'be still in use.
The principal components of this installation are as follows:
1. A two-story building, 135'x 70', completely surrounded by a 15'
wide, approx. 10' high, earth revetment. This building and
revetment appears on photography.

2. An area, 300'x 901, enclosed on three sides by a 25' Wide, approx.
20' high earth revetment. Within this revetted area are three,
one-story buildings measuring approximately 110'x 30', 55'x 20',
and 35'x 20'. These buildings, visible on World War-II photo-
graphy were completely camouflaged by natural vegetation on the
photography. However, a road leading to this revetted
area appears to be in use so it may be assumed that the buildings
are still present.
A new one-at building, 60'x 30', completely revetted, has been
constructed
An 800'x 40' finger pier a rom Cape Lisiy Nos. Haring World War
II this pier was - 1800' feet long; photography indicates that the sea-
ward end of the pier has deteriorated and there is a 375' wide gap near the
center, limiting the effective length of the pier to 8001-.
