'''''S-56''''' was an [[Soviet S-class submarine|S-class]] [[submarine]] of the [[Soviet Navy]] during and after [[World War II]]. She was [[Keel laying|laid down]] by [[Admiralty Shipyard|shipyard #194]] in [[Leningrad]] on 24 November 1936, shipped in sections by rail to [[Vladivostok]] where it was reassembled by [[Dalzavod]].<ref name="museumtof.ru">{{cite web|url=http://museumtof.ru/index.php/filials/s-56 |title=МГК ПЛ "С-56" |publisher= |date=2011-02-08 |accessdate=2017-08-11}}</ref> She was [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 25 December 1939 and [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 20 October 1941 in the Pacific Fleet.

==Design==
The ''Srednyaya'' or S-class submarine ({{lang-ru|Средняя|lit=medium}}), also called ''Stalinets'' class ({{lang-ru|Сталинец|lit=follower of Stalin}}), was an ocean-going [[diesel electric]] [[attack submarine]]. Its [[pressure hull]] had seven [[Compartment (ship)|compartments]], and the Series IX-bis submarine's [[Displacement (ship)|displacement]] was {{convert|856|t|LT}} while on the surface and {{convert|1090|t|LT}} while submerged. It had a length of {{convert|77.8|m|ftin|abbr= on}}, a [[Beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|6.4|m|ftin}}, and a [[Draft (hull)|draft]] of {{convert|4|m|ftin}}. It had two [[diesel engine]]s to power it on the surface and two [[electric motor]]s for when it was submerged, providing {{convert|4000|shp|lk=on}} and {{convert|1100|shp}}, respectively, to the two [[propeller shaft (ship)|propeller shafts]]. This gave it a speed of {{convert|18.85|kn|km/h|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|8.8|kn|km/h}} while underwater, and the submarine had a range of {{convert|9500|nmi|km|lk=in}}. Its test depth was {{convert|80|m|ft}}, and as armament it had six {{convert|530|mm|in|abbr=on}} [[torpedo tube]]s, one {{convert|100|mm|in|abbr=on}} [[deck gun]], and one {{convert|45|mm|in|abbr=on}} gun.<ref>{{Cite web | last = Helgason | first = Guðmundur |title=S (Stalinec) class |url=https://uboat.net/allies/warships/class/215.html |work=Uboat.net |access-date=16 May 2024}}</ref>{{sfn|Gardiner|Chesneau|1980|p=337}}{{sfn|Yakubov|Worth|2008|pages=136–137}}
 
''S-56'' was part of the Series IX-bis, which was a modification of the original three boats of the S-class, the Series IX. The main difference between them was the replacement of German components used in Series IX with Soviet equivalents that could be manufactured domestically.{{sfn|Yakubov|Worth|2008|pages=138–141}}

During the attack against ''Eurostadt'', another torpedo hit and damaged the German freighter ''Wartheland'' (36763,676 GRT) but the ship was saved because the torpedo was a dud.<ref>http:// name="uboat.net" /allies/warships/ship/5116.html</ref>
