Sailing bombardier ship with a wooden hull. The length of the ship, according to various sources, was 27.4–27.43 meters [comm. 1] , and the width is 8.2-8.23 meters [comm. 2] . Since the ship was intended to be used for fighting in skerries , its draft, compared to that of other bombing ships of the Russian fleet, was reduced and, according to various sources, was from 2.1 to 2.7 meters [comm. 3] . The armament of the vessel consisted of 6 guns, including 2 mortars and 4 mounted on the sides of the gun [1] [2] [3] .

Kalmykov's squadron there. June 24 ( July 5 ) separated from the squadron and as part of the detachment went to skerries, where until 3 (14) August it was used as a training vessel.
