The submarine C7 (the commander - captain-lieutenant S.P. Lisin) met the beginning of the war in the Irbensky Straight. Two days later the first battle with the enemy forces took place: being attacked with the "shnell-boats", the boat got a lot of shrapnel holes and returned to Vindava. This boat was allotted to the detachment of ships, that was supposed to be transferred by the Neva to the North, but the going out of the Germans to the Neva gave up this undertaking. In autumn the boat went to the Narvskaya Bay for the firing of the coastal targets and spent the winter 1941/42 in Kronstadt. In July 1942, having forced a crossing over the minefield "Yuminda" on surface, the "C-7" made its way forward the Norchiopingskaya Bay in order to prevent the freight transportations of the Germans across the Swedish territorial waters. In June 9 the first battle success came - the Swedish steamship "Margareta" was torpedoed and sank with the cargo of coal. In July 11 the ore carrier "Luleo" suffered the same fate, whereupon the C-7 was unsuccessfully attacked by the Swedish patrol ships. In August 5 the C-7 returned to the Uzhava Lighthouse, where she sank with gunfire the Finnish steamship "Pohyanlahti" with the cargo of potatoes. In August 11 the boat safely returned to Kronstadt. The next and the last trip of the submarine started two months later, in October 19, 1942. Two days after the departure from Lavensari the commander reported on the overcoming by the ship of the mine line, whereupon she was going to take up a position in the Botnichesky Bay. There were no more radiograms
