The Lindormen class was developed and built as a mine-layer for the Danish Navy in the 1970s . The two ships of the class now belong to the Estonian Navy and are used there as lead ships for the mine sweeping association.
The Lindormen was built in 1977 as the first of the two-unit ship class on Svendborg Værft . From 1978 to 2004 she was used by the Danish Navy. The ship was then taken over as Tasuja by the Estonian Navy and used from 2006 to 2016 as a command and diving support ship for the mine defense association there.
The Lossen was built in 1977 as the second ship of the class on Svendborg Værft and also used by the Danish Navy. Then she was also taken over by the Estonian Navy, but (unlike the sister ship) initially remained in reserve. On November 1, 2016, she was put back into service by Estonia as Wambola . The ship serves the local navy today as a command and base ship for the mine divers.
construction
The Lindormen class was specially developed for laying controlled minefields . It also has limited fuel and fresh water capacity to serve as a supplier at sea. The ship is reinforced with ice and has various on-board workshops. Two inflatables for 4–8 people, a crane for 2.2 tons and an underwater camera are available to support the training of the mine diving department. There are also hatches for the divers, which are located directly on the surface of the water, as well as pressure compensation cells.
