Notes:
The Kibela class is a close variant of the French Cybèle class coastal submarines originally designed by DCNS in 1947 and 1948. The original design proposal was for a small, compact coastal submarine for service on the North, Baltic or Black Seas, with Latvia, Belgium, Poland, or Denmark identified as potential customers. DCNS adapted many of the lessons they had learned from earlier submarine projects to produce their design proposal. Having seen the design relatively early in its design process, the Russian Navy was impressed by its capabilities and ordered multiple examples of the type, with deliveries starting in 1949. All of the initial boats were constructed in France.
