''Drazki'' was one of a series of six torpedo boats, built for Bulgaria in the French Schneider et Cie works in Chalon-sur-Saône. Other ships were: ''Smeli'' (Смели), ''Khrabri'' (Храбри), ''Shumny'', ''Letyashty'' (Летящи) and ''Strogi'' (Строги). The ships were built in France and transported in parts to Bulgaria, where they were launched and completed in Varna. ''Drazki'', ''Smeli'' and ''Khrabri'' were ordered in 1904, sent to Bulgaria in April 1905, launched on August 23, 1907, and commissioned on January 5, 1908. The three boats of the second series were ordered in January 1906, launched in August 1908 and commissioned in August 1909. Bulgarian torpedo boats took part in the Balkan Wars 1912 - 1913 on the Black Sea. On November 20, 1912 ''Letyashty'', ''Smeli'', ''Strogi'' and ''Drazki'' were sent from Varna to intercept Egyptian transports. A commander was Captain 2nd rank Dimitr Dobrev on the ''Letyashty'', the ''Drazki'' was commanded by ''michman'' Georgi Kupov. After midnight, on November 21 they encountered Turkish Navy protected cruiser ''Hamidiye'' with two destroyers approximately 32 miles from Varna. On 0:43 hour, Bulgarian ships fired torpedos. The first three missed, but ''Drazki'', being the last ship in line, fired torpedo from a short distance about 100 m, which hit and seriously damaged ''Hamidiye''. Then, Bulgarian boats returned to Varna. It was the biggest achievement in a history of a small Bulgarian Navy. Bulgarian torpedo boats did not take active part in the Balkan Wars. Later they took part in the World War I, in which ''Letyashty'' was lost. After the war, the remaining boats, being obsolete now, were re-classified as patrol boats. On October 15, 1942, ''Drazki'' sunk in Varna harbour due to gunpowder explosion, but was soon repaired. In 1944 however, it became a gunnery target ship. By 1957 it was decided to commemorate this most famous ship of the Bulgarian Navy, but by that time it had been already scrapped to pieces. Her gun, funnel and some details were mounted on her sister ship ''Strogi'', which, from November 21, 1957, became a museal ship ''Drazki''. She is currently preserved on a static land display in Naval Museum in Varna. ''Khrabri'' was scraped in 1962. ==External links== *[http://varna.info.bg/1912.htm Attack on "Hamidiye" (in Bulgarian)] Museum ships Bulgarian Navy ships Military of Bulgaria
