EMBARCAÇÕES DA US NAVY TRANSFERIDAS A URSS
Na primavera / verão de 1945 em “Cold bay” (Alasca) os EEUU em conjunto com a então URSS procederam ao “ Projeto Hula”. Nele ocorreu o treinamento de tripulações sovieticas em técnicas de operações anfíbias e na operação de navios, de fabricação americana e que seriam transferidos a URSS, para que esta pudesse efetuar a já projetada invasão das Ilhas Sakalinas e Kurilas.
As embarcações transferidas (entre parênteses denominação na Marinha Soviética), por data de cessão, foram:
