Project history: Tugs built by Crichton-Vulcan under Soviet order. In June, 1941 they passed commissioning trials. All were confiscated and under building numbers commissioned by Finnish Navy. No761 thus was named Viipuri.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: All were used basically as patrol crafts.
