This book continues the story of the Russian Koreets-class gunboats. This time, readers will learn about the Black Sea legacy of their Danish and Swedish prototypes. Six gunboats, built in Nikolaev and Sevastopol in the late 1880s, became a significant addition to the resurgent Black Sea Fleet, ensuring their long and eventful service.

Of the entire series, only the 26-year-old Uralets was lost in 1913 following a navigational accident; the remaining vessels took part in the First World War and the Civil War and were scrapped only in the late 1920s. The Kubanets, however, even saw service during the Great Patriotic War.

The publication is richly illustrated with rare photographs from the collections of A. V. Plotto, N. G. Maslovaty, R. M. Melnikov, as well as from the family archives of A. P. Matveev, P. A. Mordovin and other researchers.
