Soviet monitor Sverdlov
In 1929, occurred actually the last and (possibly) the largest ever the monitors and riverine gunboats battle in the modern history. Soviet navy had a total and decisive river's victory using monitors during conflict against Nationalist China. There were a number of Chinese boats and monitors sunk and no Soviet losses. The Sverdlov and its sister-ship won the day that time.
