The Sasha class is the NATO reporting name for a class of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy between 1954 and 1956. The Soviet designation was Project 265
Contents
Design
The specification for the design was issued in 1946. The ships were steel hulled coastal minesweepers and were to replace wartime T301 class coastal sweepers. Following trials the bow shape was changed to improve sea-keeping and more advanced electronics and sweeps were introduced throughout the service lives of these ships.
Ships
At total of 37 ships were built at Rybinsk. The last two ships were retired in 1992.
