Submarine Shch-322, missing since October 1941

Allveelaev Štš-322, kadunud 1941. aasta oktoobrist

The Soviet submarine Shch-322 was a Shchuka-class boat of the Baltic Fleet. In August 1941 the minesweeper T-212 Shtag was lost to a mine while escorting her into Soela Strait. On 11 October 1941 she left Kronstadt on patrol, and in the next few days she disappeared with all 37 men aboard, most likely on a mine. For seventy years nobody knew where. In 2012 her wreck was found off the north-west coast of Estonia, and it is now listed as a protected monument.

Eesti keeles

Nõukogude allveelaev Štš-322 oli Balti laevastiku Štšuka-klassi laev. 1941. aasta augustis hukkus miinil miinitraaler T-212 Štag, kes seda Soela väina saatis. 11. oktoobril 1941 lahkus Štš-322 Kroonlinnast retkele ja kadus järgmiste päevade jooksul koos kõigi 37 pardal olnud mehega, tõenäoliselt miini tõttu. Seitsekümmend aastat ei teadnud keegi, kus see lebab. 2012. aastal leiti vrakk Loode-Eesti ranniku lähedalt ja nüüd on see kultuurimälestisena kaitse all.
