History of Design and Construction
The prototype SMRL Triton-2 was built in 1966 at the Gatchinsky Metallist plant (chief designer V. I. Sinyakov).
Further, the work was transferred to the Volna Central Design Bureau (Minsudprom).
Technical project 09080 (chief designer Y. E. Evgrafov ) was developed in 1970 .
In 1971, design documentation was transferred to the Novo-Admiralty Plant ( Leningrad ), in 1974 a prototype of a very small submarine was made. A total of 13 copies were produced.
Presumably, in the 2010s, several Triton-2 submarines were in service with the Russian and Ukrainian Navy.
In 1973 - 1980 in the amount of 38 copies. built a two-seater ultra-small submarine of Project 907 Triton-1 [2] .
Design
Project 908 SMPL case was made of aluminum - magnesium alloy and designed for immersion depth of 40 meters. Underwater speed - 5 knots . Range under water reached 60 miles .
In the case are located:
- bow cabin for two crew members (filled with water at normal pressure).
- the control panel located in the bow is sealed.
- a sealed compartment for control devices and a sealed battery compartment located below it.
- aft cabin for scout divers (filled with water at normal pressure).
- sealed electromotor compartment.
The screw located in the rotary ring nozzle also served as a horizontal rudder.
Armament
Ultra-small submarines of the Triton-2 project were equipped with the MGV-11, MGV-6V sonar station and the Samum navigation complex.
Production and commissioning

Crew
The crew of the submarines of the Triton-2 project consisted of two people stationed in the bow cabin. In addition to them, a reconnaissance and sabotage group of four people was taken on board (located in the aft cabin). In the cabins, normal pressure was maintained regardless of the depth of immersion, but light divers and crew members were in the water and used breathing apparatus . The exit of combat swimmers and crew members was through hatches in the upper part of the hull.
