On January 3, after A.A.Grekhnev leaves
the Tank, Naval Administration Order No.276 appoints Captain of
the Admiralty A.N.Krylov 'the Acting Superintendent of the
Tank'.
A.N.Krylov suggests establishing a
scientific institution that should include the towing tank, testing
and physical-chemical laboratories for research on ship construction
materials, a mechanical laboratory and an electrical engineering
laboratory.
The first Russian submarine Delfin
('Dolphin') design and model tests begin. The work goes on in
the Towing Tank building and the project manager is I.G.Boubnov,
the Chief Assistant to the Tank Superintendent.
Thus, the Towing Tank becomes the
birthplace of the Russian professional submarine design.
