Altogether, 20 ships and vessels, including Soviet submarines K-2 and D-3, German submarines U-307, U 286 and U-387, were found during the Expedition. Four warships were found — presumably Soviet patrol ships “Passat” and “Tuman”, British destroyer “Matabele” and corvette Bluebell, as well as 12 vessels, including trawler Onega that sank in 2020, two aircrafts — A-20 “Boston” and I-153 “Chaika” and the three bottom mines.

The Murmansk Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society, within the framework of the RGS grant "Complex expeditionary research in the Arctic region of the Russian Federation in 2021", organized the creation of models of three discovered submarines: K-2, D-3 and U-387. Each model is unique and extremely detailed.

In the “Projects" section of the official MRB RGS website a subsection dedicated to the Complex Expedition was created. There you can find detailed historical information about the submarines K-2, D-3 and U-387.
