Soviet Navy vessels in WWII in general did not get into as much action as other countries'. Still, some did have interesting story.

Soviet K-class sub 'K-21' made a solo unsuccessful attack on German battleship Tirpitz which was en route to intercept convoy PQ-17. Either by the attack, or by any other reason, the battleship turned away. But the convoy itself, heard words of Tirpitz coming, scattered and got picked off by u-boats and the Luftwaffe.

There was also Soviet Gangut-class battleship 'Marat', who was sunk in 1941, but her aft was later refloated and used as floating battery in the defense of Leningrad.
