I'm guessing the confusion was caused by reusing the names Viforul and Vijelia. Were all of these boats taken by the Soviets? Can anyone give their Soviet names? I'll have more questions after this, I'm sure. This post has been edited by Tiornu on April 08, 2011 08:23 pm

Videnia and the other ex-Dutch boats were numbered 4-9. Presumably the British-built Viforul, Vijelia, and Viscolul were numbered 1-3, but can anyone say which boat had which number?

That coupling appears to be engines-to-propellers. The soviets reported for these seized boats a speed of 34, but for romanians only 30.
