Project 264 was a class of minesweepers in the Soviet Navy that was developed after World War II . 24 ships of the variants 264 and 264A were built by the Soviet Union. Some of the ships were later converted into patrol boats .

description

For the first twenty years after World War II, the demining fleet was primarily concerned with clearing up debris from the war and planned the Project 254 and 264 classes under these requirements. Project 264 was developed from 1949 with the aim of building a sea-going anti-mine vehicle with a long range, comparatively high speed and adequate armament. To this end, the minesweeping trawlers of Project 254 were enlarged with the appropriate equipment and the machine output doubled.

The prototype had a steel hull, simple armament and was not particularly optimized for noise insulation. In the modernized series version Project 264A, measures were introduced to reduce noise emissions, and an open 57 mm L / 70 AK-257 twin tower was placed in front of and behind the structure. The originally planned MBU-600 launcher was replaced by two five-tube RBU-2500 launchers for fighting submarines .

Up to 22 sea ​​mines and 122 depth charges could also be carried.

Whereabouts

23 ships of the project 264A were built between 1958 and 1972 and the 264 prototype in 1951 by the Soviet Union in Leningrad. Most of the ships were named with the letter "T" and a number. Others were given names of honor to commemorate Soviet naval heroes or anniversaries.

In the 1970s, the ships began to be converted with their old minesweeping equipment and many were initially used as patrol boats with a reduced crew in the border guards, before they were finally decommissioned in the 1990s.
