Translation of "naval cutlass" into Russian

The 1860 naval cutlass was apparently adopted by the U.S. Navy in approximately 1860. The new U.S. Navy cutlass was based on the cutlass then in use with the French navy. The word "cutlass" is derived from the term "curtal axe", an ancient heavy, but short weapon. The cutlass has the same characteristics. The cutlass was used in ship-to-ship melee, in boarding parties and to repel boarders. - https://www.spanamwar.com/cutlass.htm
