LEGO Soviet Submarine M-200 MOC - PDF Building Instructions

This is a 1:260 scaled design of the Soviet M-200 Submarine from the Malyutka-class of the XV series. I designed it with an easy and aesthetic display stand which also hides a small secret.

HISTORY

The M-200 Myest (Месть, “Vengeance”) was a Soviet Malyutka-class submarine of the XV series, a design that emerged during World War II and remained active into the Cold War. Constructed in Leningrad in 1940 and launched in 1943, Myest was part of a line of small, rugged torpedo submarines used in coastal waters. 

Though only four of the XV series were completed during the war, Myest saw postwar service with the Baltic Fleet. Tragedy struck on November 21, 1956, when Myest collided with the Statny off the coast of Estonia. Eight men were thrown from the conning tower into the sea; six survived. Inside, nearly two dozen sailors remained trapped. A desperate rescue followed, as the crew in the forward torpedo room stayed alive for over 24 hours in pitch-black, freezing conditions, communicating via a buoy phone line. 

Rescue attempts were delayed by indecision and worsening weather. Eventually, the crew tried to escape on their own, only to fail. All remaining men perished while the captain was charged with criminal negligence and sentenced to three years of hard labor.
