Yevgenya-class minesweeper

The Yevgenya-class, Soviet designation Project 1258 Korund, are a series of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy and export customers between 1967-80.

The Yevgenya-class are small minesweepers built for inshore work. The hulls are constructed of glass-reinforced plastic. As built, they have a standard displacement of 89.9 tonnes (88.5 long tons), 91 tonnes (90 long tons) normally, 93.0 tonnes (91.5 long tons) at full load and maximum 96 tonnes (94 long tons). The Yevegenya-class measures 26.13 metres (85 ft 9 in) long overall, 23 metres (75 ft 6 in) between perpendiculars and 24.16 metres (79 ft 3 in) at the waterline with an extreme beam of 5.9 metres (19 ft 4 in) and 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in) at the waterline. The vessels have a normal draught of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) and 1.38 metres (4 ft 6 in) fully loaded.

As built, the minesweepers are powered by two diesel engines, turning two propeller shafts that create 630 kilowatts (850 bhp). This gives the ships a maximum speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) and a range of 300 nmi (560 km; 350 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). They carry 91 tonnes (90 long tons) of diesel fuel.

The vessels have twin-mounted 14.5 mm (0.57 in) machine guns. They are equipped with MT-34, AT-2, SEMT-3, Neva and GKT-3 sweeps. The minesweepers also mount MG-7 sonar, and they have a complement of 10.
