An item reported that despite the Russian gunboat Khivinetz was still lacking her armament she still was mentioned as part of the Russian Gunboat Squadron. The Khrabi (1)was sent into Kopora Bay for gun exercises at the end of August. She seemed to be the most efficient warship in the Russian Baltic Fleet.
