No major Soviet warships were in action (most of them were blocked in
Leningrad), and the Soviet Navy engaged possessed in the area 4 small gunboats, 10 patrol boats (
MO-4-class submarine chasers), and 14 motor torpedo boats. German torpedo boats shelled the Soviets but caused only damage to the two gunboats
MBK-503,
MBK-505 and on the
MO-106, without sinking them. The Soviets counter-attacked with their motor torpedo boats, the first attack was repelled with damage to
TK-53,
TK-63 and
TK-153, while the second attack was another failure with damage to
TK-101 and
TK-103. Finally,
TK-37 and
TK-60 made a pincer attack and launched their torpedoes at the same time against
T31, the German torpedo boat was hit and sunk. Other sources give credit to the victory only to
TK-37. 76 German sailors lost their lives, while 6 were captured by Soviets. Finnish units rescued other German sailors (including 23 wounded, two died of wounds). After the loss of her sister ship,
T30 retreated after having suffered light damage (one sailor killed and 13 wounded). Germans claimed to have sunk a number of Soviet attacking motor torpedo boats but actually despite some were damaged, none was sunk. == Aftermath ==
