The "TKA-12" torpedo boat is installed on a pedestal in memory of the Severomorsk crew members who died during the war and in honor of the living veterans of the Red Banner Order of Ushakov 1st degree.
It is made in the form of diverging waves, on the crest of which the boat is standing still. On the starboard side there is a memorial pedestal with a memorial plaque.

"TKA-12" arrived at the Northern Fleet from the Baltic not long before the start of the Great Patriotic War. He had good seaworthiness and maneuverability. The torpedo boat took part in combat operations at sea 50 times, sank 4 enemy ships.

For successful actions on enemy sea communications, the commander of the boat, lieutenant A.O. Shabalin, who became twice Hero of the Soviet Union by the end of the war, was awarded the Order of Lenin. The rest of the crew was also awarded high government awards. The friendly team "TKA-12" became the first crew in the Northern Fleet fully decorated with orders.

Taking into account the great service in battles of the legendary boat, by the decision of the Chief of the Main Naval Staff "TKA-12" was transferred to the Museum of the Northern Fleet.
