Leytenant Zatsarenni herself was named after a torpedo boat captain who had distinguished himself in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878.

She was sunk on 30 June 1917, when she ran onto a German naval mine that had been laid only days before by the Ottoman Navy light cruiser Midilli (formerly the Imperial German Navy′s SMS Breslau). Midilli had laid seventy mines off the mouth of the Danube, followed by another ten off Fidonisi Island, which to the Germans was then known as Schlangen Insel (Snake Island), off Sulina.

Leytenant Zatsarenni was rediscovered in July 2007 by Russian divers.
