The new Superintendent of the
Towing Tank becomes V.V.Taklinsky though the official approval
of his appointment will come only on September 5, 1916.

The Towing Tank is heavily involved
in work on almost all designs of surface combatants and
submarines built under main and additional construction
programmes of the Russian Imperial Navy. Those projects
included Sevastopol- and Imperatritsa Marija
('Empress Maria')-class battleships, Izmail-class
battle cruisers, Novik-class destroyers, Bars-class
submarines, and hydroplanes for the naval aviation that
was just at that time starting its development in Russia.
