[SIZE=4]Summary[/SIZE]
Construction continues on the new destroyer Kazanlak and the new submarines Akula and Zmiorka. Tonnage is paid to Russia for construction of two minelayers and to Britain for the purchase and refit of the Royal Oak.

I don't think this has been elsewhere posted, but Bulgaria built this ship for Russia as an, um, 'diplomatic gift'. It will be presented to the Russian Navy in a ceremony on February 18th in Sevastopol.
