In the mid -1960s for the Ministry of Fisheries to monitor the commercial concentrations of fish , work gear, taking soil samples and study the behavior of marine animals at depths up to 2000 meters, CDB "Ruby" , based on the conceptual design developed in the " Giprorybflot " drafted a submersible in 1825 .

The project in 1825 included almost all elements of the submarine, so it can be considered the first deep-water submarines.
Rugged cylindrical, spherical extremities and internal frames, divided into three rooms. For surveillance in a rugged, there are three nasal window diameter of 120 mm, two at the top of the chassis and two on the bottom. The bow section – researchers, medium – control module, the feed – hardware.
Immersing the machine is filling 3 CCH (stern and two on-board), and the ascent of blowing compressed air.
Power Systems unit is carried out by 4 groups AB, located behind.
