Finnish submarine AG 12

Finnish submarine AG 12

AG 12 was a Russian submarine of Holland 602GF/602L type (AG = "Amerikansky Golland"), which served in the Gulf of Finland during the first World War.

During WWI Russian and British submarines operated from bases in Finland. The Russian submarines of "Holland" type ("AG 11", "AG 12", "AG 15" and "AG 16") were scuttled in the harbor of Hanko on April 3, just prior to the German landing there. These submarines had good sea going qualities and were easy to handle. When the German troops advanced on Helsinki, the British submarine group sailed out and scuttled their submarines outside the city, on April 4, 1918. The Squadron consisted of the submarines "E 1", "E 8", "E 9", "E 19", "C 26", "C 27" and "C 35". The British crews could return to Britain via Murmansk.

Two of the Russian subs, the "AG 12" and the "AG 16", seemed to be in relatively good shape and the Finns decided to lift them and to repair them. After salvaging, the "AG 12" was transferred to Turku and the "AG 16" to Helsinki. AG 12 was however a hopeless case and was soon scrapped.
