Krasnoye Znamya (Красное Знамя, Red Banner, ex-Khrabryy) was a Soviet gunboat. The ship had been built in the 1890s as the Khrabry (Храбрый, Brave) for the Imperial Russian Navy. She was completed in 1897 and assigned to the Baltic Fleet. During the First World War, the ship participated in the Battle of Moon Sound in 1917. Her crew joined the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution that same year and she was commissioned into the Soviet Navy in early 1918. Khabry was renamed Krasnoye Znamya in 1922. She was rebuilt in 1937–1939. The gunboat was sunk in the harbor of Lavansaari in the Gulf of Finland in 1942 during an attack by Finnish MTBs. The ship was salvaged the following year and recommissioned in 1944.
