For historical information, the Internet has a page on Submarine Chaser MO-4.

The MO-4 is a small Soviet guard ship and submarine chaser.

Description[]

The MO-4 was the most numerous type of all MO-class guard ships. Although its wooden structure had no armour, the ship's compartmental design allowed it to remain afloat even after sustaining heavy damage. Its robustness as well as powerful engines made it highly demanded for various tasks, ranging from anti-submarine warfare to escort and patrol duties.

In BattleGroup42 the MO-4 is armed with two 45mm semi-automatic guns that fire armour-piercing rounds, with one mounted on each end of the ship. It is also equipped with two depth charges and two DsHK machine guns at the rear.

The MO-4 boats served on the Baltic Sea as well as on the Black Sea and even on larger rivers and lakes. Accordingly it can be found on maps like 4308-Azov Clashes and 4410-Moonsund.
