S-117 (formerly Shch-117) was a Soviet Shchuka-class submarine (V-bis series) that was lost on or about 15 December 1952, due to unknown causes in the Strait of Tartary in the Sea of Japan. The boat may have collided with a surface ship or struck a mine. All 47 crew died in the incident.
Service History
Shch-117 was laid down on 9 October 1932 as Yard No. 189 at the Baltic Shipyard. [1]She was delivered unassembled to Dalzavod Ship Repair Center in Vladivostok for assembly and was commissioned on 18 December 1934. Shch-117 became part of the Soviet Pacific Fleet on 28 January 1935, commanded by Nikolai Yegipko. [2] In early 1936, Shch-117 conducted a long-endurance under-ice cruise, for which the crew received the Order of the Badge of Honour. Yegipko and Commissar Sergey Pastukhov both were awarded the Order of the Red Star. [3]
On 19 April 1945, Shch-117 was transferred to a new naval base at Sovetskiy Gavan as a component of the 8th Division. [4] After the Soviet declaration of war on Japan, Shch-117 patrolled off western Sakhalin.[5]
On 10 June 1949 the submarine was renamed S-117. [2]
