Project 908 Triton-2 small submarine was a highly classified project during the Cold War, and some mystery still surrounds the project. Museum display exemplars and models depict an entirely enclosed vessel with a vestigial conning tower of sorts and various portholes for surface navigation.

Tasks solved by the midget submarine “Triton-2” include covert transportation underwater, disembarkation and return of combat swimmers when they perform special tasks of the Navy in coastal areas. Project 908 “Triton-2” developed by CPB “Wave” St. Petersburg. Development of the project began in 1970, and in 1974 the first prototype was made.
