The German torpedo boat T17 was one of nine Type 37 torpedo boats built for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during World War II. Completed in mid-1941, the ship arrived in France in December. She helped to escort a pair of battleships and a heavy cruiser through the English Channel back to Germany in February 1942 in the Channel Dash and then was ordered to Norway for escort work. The ship returned to Germany in March for a refit before redeploying back to France. T17 began another refit in Germany in early 1943 and was then assigned as a training ship for U-boat flotillas.

She returned to active duty in August 1944 and supported German forces operating in the Baltic Sea. The boat was then assigned escort duties in the Skaggerak around the beginning of 1945, which included covering minelaying missions. In May T17 helped to evacuate troops and refugees from advancing Soviet forces. The boat was allocated to the Soviet Union after the war and was renamed Poryvisty. She was assigned to the Baltic Fleet and was converted into a target control ship in 1949. Stricken from the Navy List a decade later, she was subsequently scrapped.
