Nerva (or Narvi) Island was a strategic target conquered by the Soviet forces in preparation for the following Battle of Vyborg Bay (1944).

The action was relevant for the involvement of German large surface vessels: the Elbing-class fleet torpedo boats T30 and T31.

[1] 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.

After the loss of her sister ship, T30 retreated after having suffered light damage (one sailor killed and 13 wounded).

The following month, on 16 July 1944, the Germans attempted a repetition of the mission (“Operation Buckenwald”), engaging torpedo boats T30, T8 and T10, the action resulted in a brief inconclusive skirmish with Soviet torpedo boat Tucha and minesweepers T-211 Rym and T-217 Kontr-Admiral Yurkovskiy.
