Khanka
was according to the rumors a Russian spy ship and little
is known about her history. She has been identified as a
ship in the Moma class, and had the designation SSV. This
means she operated as a "communication vessel" for the
Soviet navy. From what we can gather from various
historical documents, she was built in Kerch as Project
861M and was launched in 1969. She sank prior to 1982 for
reasons unknown. The wreck rest today on a depth of
approximately 5 to 25 meter in the western bay at Zabargad
island.
