Shch-214 was a Series X Shchuka-class submarine built for the Soviet Navy during the 1930s. Completed in 1939, the boat was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet and participated in the defense of the Soviet Union when the Axis powers invaded it in June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa). She made four patrols in the southern area of the Black Sea before she was tasked to ferry supplies to besieged Sevastopol in mid-1942. Shch-214 was torpedoed enroute and sunk by an Italian MAS boat.
