On the Guards "Shch-309" Cabo Isaac

DIFFICULT IN STUDYING - EASY IN BATTLE

On March 31, 1940, a new commander was appointed to the Shch-309 - Lieutenant Commander Kabo. On May 18, the boat went to Kronstadt, where it was scheduled to undergo scheduled repairs after participating in the military campaign. On May 20, joyful sailors saw the beautiful Kronstadt through the morning haze, the ships moored in the roadstead, and soon fell into the arms of friends. In the six months that have passed since the day the Dolphin left Kronstadt, its crew has gained combat experience and become more mature. New knowledge had to be consolidated in further combat training.

Changes have also occurred in the Baltic. In the summer of 1940, the working people of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania overthrew the bourgeois governments they hated and created their own proletarian republics, which voluntarily joined the great brotherhood of peoples - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Red Banner Baltic Fleet received new naval bases and entered the expanse of the Baltic Sea.

The ships of the fleet were faced with an urgent task - to short term master the maritime theater. Therefore, day and night, in poor visibility and in good, voyages were made to Tallinn, Libau, Riga, Klaipeda, and the adjacent bays and bays. During the voyages, various training tasks were practiced.

And the international situation did not allow a slowdown in the pace of combat training.

The fire of war that had engulfed Europe was approaching the Soviet borders. “The flames of the Second World War are raging over the world,” the Political Directorate of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet wrote in its appeal, “the blood of young men, old men and children is being shed, cities are burning, huge material and cultural values are being destroyed...” The Political Directorate called on the personnel to constant combat readiness, to persistent , with full effort, combat training.

On June 12, 1941, Shch-309 went on another training cruise, this time to the Gulf of Riga. In addition to the regular personnel, there were midshipmen on the boat who were on probation after graduating from college. The purpose of the trip is to practice torpedo firing, which is usually the final stage of the crew’s combat training, summing up their long work. Such exercises test the ability of submarine personnel to covertly approach “enemy” ships, determine the elements of their movement, fire an accurate salvo at a chosen target, and retreat unnoticed.

...Even before dawn, the boat took up a “combat” position and began searching for the “enemy,” who could appear from any direction. There is an almost tangible silence in the compartments. Everyone is extremely focused. At the periscope is the senior assistant commander, captain-lieutenant Semyon Zosimovich Trashchenko. As soon as he discovered the “enemy’s” high-speed ship, a “combat alert” was announced for the ship. The boat began its first torpedo attack on this training voyage.

"Shch-309" moves at periscope depth, which is accurately controlled by boatswain Pronin. The commander of the electromechanical combat unit, engineer-captain-lieutenant Averyanov, prepared to prevent the boat from floating after the release of torpedoes. Midshipman Fokin, who supervised the preparation of torpedo gunners and torpedoes, is worried. Finally the long-awaited commands:

The devices are ready!

Light, one after another, shocks and hissing of the air were felt and heard by everyone in the boat: two torpedoes fired by Petty Officer 2nd Class Malyavkin rushed towards the target.

The minutes of waiting for the results of the attack seemed endless. But then a signal goes up on the foremast of the target ship: “The attack was successful!”

The first was followed by more complex attacks: now the “enemy” had strong security. Torpedo attacks were interspersed with artillery firing, all sorts of exercises to put damaged mechanisms into operation, to fight for the survivability of the ship, and others. The crew of the boat acted harmoniously and confidently during all these exercises.

The personnel cope exceptionally well with their duties in all types of alarms,” noted the usually taciturn Lieutenant Commander Trashchenko. These words could not but bring pleasure to the team: Semyon Zosimovich was too stingy with praise. But now the first mate was pleased, because the success of the exercises is the result of the enormous work he and the commander of the electromechanical combat unit invested in the training of personnel.

The training trip was intense and difficult. However, we returned to base with a big climb. Every officer, petty officer and sailor firmly knew the wise rule of Russian military art: “Difficult in training - easy in battle.”

After the exercises, Shch-309 was transferred to the first line of warships of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet. For the successes achieved in combat and political training, the commander of the 6th division, captain 2nd rank M.V. Fedotov, expressed gratitude to everyone personnel boats, and the foremen of the 2nd article Malyavkin and Petryuk, the senior Red Navy man Davydov were photographed at the unfurled Banner of the 2nd submarine brigade.
