114: 905:. Delivery of the engines for the third boat was constantly delayed and eventually it was equipped with domestically produced ones. For underwater propulsion energy was supplied by 124 APA 38-MAK-760 accumulators, equipped with K-5 hydrogen burners. The batteries lacked the traditional central walkway, instead using special service trolleys suspended from the deckhead. This design significantly decreased the height of the battery compartment, freeing space for the crew. The electrical system omitted the complicated layout common on earlier Soviet designs, and was simple and reliable. All connections were insulated and the 25: 796: 707:'s plant #202. The first boat was completed in the beginning of December 1935, and made her first dive on December 15. Next August both first boats entered official trials, and while several requirements were not met (for example, speed was 0.5 knots (0.93 km/h; 0.58 mph) lower than the specified 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph)}) and there were some technical difficulties, the project was considered successful and the boats were commissioned into the 988: 86: 804: 127: 402: 980: 564: 1000:
