The Project 141, (NATO reporting name Kashtan class) is a class of salvage vessel/submersible support built at Rostock's Neptun Werft in East Germany for the Soviet Navy.
In total, eight ships of this type were commissioned from 1988 to 1990. The ships became part of the Russian Navy after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The stern has a crane capable of lifting 100 tons with which a Priz-class deep-submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV) can be launched and recovered.
