Design
Project 205P Stenka is a variant of the Project 205 Osa missile boat. The Stenka used the hull of the Osa class and had a slightly larger crew. The development office of the "Alma" Shipyard in Leningrad used the standardized components of the Osa missile fast patrol boat, in order to develop an anti submarine boat. The anti ship missile launch containers were replaced by four torpedo tubes but the anti-ship missile related structures and equipment were retained. The living spaces in the Stenka were improved for long patrol endurance by raising the superstructure in order to create more usable space inside, compared to the Project 205 Osa missile boat. They also installed a more powerful air conditioner.
The drive system is three diesel radial engines of the type M504 B2 with a total capacity of 15,000 hp.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.”
—Marilyn French (20th century)
