A night clash off Voka, June 1944
Öine kokkupõrge Voka lähistel 1944. aasta juunis
In the summer of 1944 the front stood at the Narva river, and the coast of Narva Bay was patrolled by German minesweepers. On 5 June 1944 Soviet motor torpedo boats attacked off Voka. Three of them, TKA-15, TKA-45 and TKA-65, torpedoed and sank the German minesweeper M-37; fourteen of her crew were killed and eleven wounded. The German minesweepers hit back and sank the Soviet G-5-class boat TK-46; two of her crew died and eight were taken prisoner. The pin is placed off the Voka shore.

Kolm neist, TKA-15, TKA-45 ja TKA-65, torpedeerisid ja uputasid Saksa miinitraaleri M-37. Hukkus neliteist meeskonnaliiget ja üksteist sai haavata. Saksa miinitraalerid vastasid tulega ja uputasid Nõukogude G-5-klassi kaatri TK-46. Selle meeskonnast hukkus kaks ja kaheksa võeti vangi. Märk on pandud Voka ranniku lähedale.
