ShCh-305 fires a torpedo against what is identified as 'a Finnish submarine' of the Vesihiisi-class off Orengrund. The torpedo missed its target.

3 Jul 2007
In Mid-2007 ShCh-305 was found at a depth of 136 meters, off Grisslehamn (Sweden) last autumn by a team of Swedish and Finnish divers. It has been positively identified through brass markings on the tower. The exact location is not disclosed, all information has been passed on to Swedish authorities, since it is to be treated as a war cemetery.
