Increasing international tensions in Europe in the early 1930s, with the extensive militarisation of foreign countries, forced the Soviet leadership to take drastic measures to strengthen its own maritime borders comprehensively. The article examines the history and architectural features of the unique factory building of the assembly and testing workshop no. 8 at the Dagdiesel Factory in Caspian, which stands out among the buildings of the enterprise for its courage and originality in terms of solving construction problems. The article reveals the reasons and prerequisites necessitating the establishment of the future flagship of the Republic's Naval Industry on the Caspian coast. Original elements of the site of the assembly and testing workshop no. 8 of the Dagdiesel Factory define the specific features of Kaspiysk city.
