History of creation[edit]
The project was developed at the Almaz Central Design Bureau according to the tactical and technical specifications (TTZ) of the Union Armed Forces of 1956. Chief designer E.I. Yukhnin. The new boats differed from the previously produced Project 183R boats in their steel hull (unified with the Project 206 torpedo boats), reinforced armament and increased seaworthiness.
An interesting feature of the boat's design are the rounded shapes of the superstructures and the specific shape of the deck, which provide improved flushing in the event of radioactive contamination. The unique M503 42-cylinder 6-row radial diesel engines were also used. Leningrad Machine-Building Plant named after Voroshilov.
It is a logical continuation of the Project 183R “Komar” series.
The lead missile boat of Project 205 became part of the USSR Navy in 1960. These ships were built in large series until 1970.
In 1961, SKB-5 developed a design for the 205U boat. He was armed with an improved P-15U missile, the wing of which began to open automatically when taking off from the container. The armament also included two twin 30-mm AK-230 automatic artillery mounts and their control systems.
Also in the mid-1960s, a Project 205P patrol boat was developed based on the hull of Project 205 boats from the Almaz Central Design Bureau.

is an improved project of TsKB-5 (since 1967 - TsMKB Almaz) under the leadership of chief designer A.P. Gorodyanko, the main observer from the Navy was captain 2nd rank Yu.M. Osipov. The project involved strengthening the body by making it from two-layer KD-2 steel, with one layer made of ordinary steel and the other of stainless steel. The power of the main engines was increased. The boats' missile armament was updated. - Project 205ER
- Project 205M
is a modernized version with the installation of new P-15M missiles of the Termit-M complex, which had twice the firing range of the P-15U Termit and with Strela-2 man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems to improve air defense.

An excerpt characterizing Project 205 missile boats
“Excuse me, sir,” Prince Andrei said dryly and unpleasantly in Russian to Prince Ippolit, who was preventing him from passing. “I’m waiting for you, Pierre,” said the same voice of Prince Andrei affectionately and tenderly. The postilion set off, and the carriage rattled its wheels. Prince Hippolyte laughed abruptly, standing on the porch and waiting for the Viscount, whom he promised to take home. “Eh bien, mon cher, votre petite princesse est tres bien, tres bien,” said the Viscount, getting into the carriage with Hippolyte. – Mais très bien. - He kissed the tips of his fingers. - Et tout a fait francaise. [Well, my dear, your little princess is very sweet! Very sweet and perfect Frenchwoman.] Hippolyte snorted and laughed. “Et savez vous que vous etes terrible avec votre petit air innocent,” continued the Viscount. – Je plains le pauvre Mariei, ce petit officier, qui se donne des airs de prince regnant.. [Do you know, you are a terrible person, despite your innocent appearance. I feel sorry for the poor husband, this officer, who poses as a sovereign person.] Hippolyte snorted and said through laughter: “Et vous disiez, que les dames russes ne valaient pas les dames francaises.” Il faut savoir s'y prendre. [And you said that Russian ladies are worse than French ones. You have to be able to take it up.] Pierre, having arrived ahead, like a homely man, went into Prince Andrei’s office and immediately, out of habit, lay down on the sofa, took the first book he came across from the shelf (it was Caesar’s Notes) and began, leaning on his elbow, reading it from middle. -What did you do with m lle Scherer? “She’s going to be completely ill now,” said Prince Andrei, entering the office and rubbing his small, white hands. Pierre turned his whole body so that the sofa creaked, turned his animated face to Prince Andrei, smiled and waved his hand. - No, this abbot is very interesting, but he just doesn’t understand the matter well... In my opinion, eternal peace is possible, but I don’t know how to say it... But not political balance... Prince Andrei was apparently not interested in these abstract conversations. - You can’t, mon cher, [my dear,] say everything you think everywhere. Well, have you finally decided to do something? Will you be a cavalry guard or a diplomat? – asked Prince Andrei after a moment of silence. Pierre sat down on the sofa, tucking his legs under him. – You can imagine, I still don’t know. I don't like either one. - But you have to decide on something? Your father is waiting. From the age of ten, Pierre was sent abroad with his tutor, the abbot, where he stayed until he was twenty. When he returned to Moscow, his father released the abbot and said to the young man: “Now you go to St. Petersburg, look around and choose. I agree to everything. Here is a letter for you to Prince Vasily, and here is money for you. Write about everything, I will help you with everything.” Pierre had been choosing a career for three months and had done nothing. Prince Andrey told him about this choice. Pierre rubbed his forehead. “But he must be a Mason,” he said, meaning the abbot whom he saw at the evening. “All this is nonsense,” Prince Andrei stopped him again, “let’s talk about business.” Were you in the Horse Guards?... - No, you weren’t, but this is what came to my mind, and I wanted to tell you. Now the war is against Napoleon. If this had been a war for freedom, I would have understood; I would have been the first to enter military service; but helping England and Austria against the greatest man in the world... this is not good... Prince Andrei only shrugged his shoulders at Pierre’s childish speeches. He pretended that such nonsense could not be answered; but indeed it was difficult to answer this naive question with anything other than what Prince Andrei answered. “If everyone fought only according to their convictions, there would be no war,” he said. “That would be great,” said Pierre. Prince Andrei grinned. - It may very well be that it would be wonderful, but it will never happen... - Well, why are you going to war? asked Pierre. - For what? I don't know. That's how it should be. Besides, I’m going... - He stopped. “I’m going because this life that I lead here, this life is not for me!” A woman's dress rustled in the next room. As if waking up, Prince Andrei shook himself, and his face took on the same expression that it had in Anna Pavlovna’s living room. Pierre swung his legs off the sofa. The princess entered. She was already in a different, homely, but equally elegant and fresh dress. Prince Andrei stood up, politely moving a chair for her. “Why, I often think,” she spoke, as always, in French, hastily and fussily sitting down in a chair, “why didn’t Annette get married?” How stupid you all are, messurs, for not marrying her. Excuse me, but you don’t understand anything about women. What a debater you are, Monsieur Pierre. “I keep arguing with your husband too; I don’t understand why he wants to go to war,” said Pierre, without any embarrassment (so common in the relationship of a young man to a young woman) addressing the princess. The princess perked up. Apparently, Pierre's words touched her to the quick. - Oh, that’s what I’m saying! - she said. “I don’t understand, I absolutely don’t understand, why men can’t live without war? Why do we women don’t want anything, don’t need anything? Well, you be the judge. I tell him everything: here he is his uncle’s adjutant, the most brilliant position. Everyone knows him so much and appreciates him so much. The other day at the Apraksins’ I heard a lady ask: “C’est ca le fameux prince Andre?” Ma parole d'honneur! [Is this the famous Prince Andrei? Honestly!] – She laughed. - He is so accepted everywhere. He could very easily be an adjutant in the wing. You know, the sovereign spoke to him very graciously. Annette and I talked about how this would be very easy to arrange. How do you think?
Origins[edit]
While previous Komar class models were cheap and efficient boats (and were the first to sink a warship with guided missiles, destroying Eilat
Israeli Navy), their endurance, seaworthiness and habitability were modest at best, and the missile unit was vulnerable to damage. from the waves. Their other weaknesses include a wooden hull, a radar without a fire control unit, and inadequate defensive armament, consisting of two manually operated 25mm guns with a simple optical sight in a single turret.
The Komarov's offensive weapons were a pair of P-15 Termit (NATO: SS-N-2 "Styx") missiles, and were insufficient to hold off the more modern longer-range P-15Ms. The sensors were not efficient enough to exploit the missiles' maximum range, and the crew of 17 was not large enough to use all systems effectively.
To overcome all these disadvantages, it was felt that larger boats were needed to accommodate the necessary equipment and provide more space for a larger crew.
