Project history: Border Guard (since 2005 Border Police). The first of nine laid down of a planned dozen for the East German Volksmarine and up to 38 others for the USSR and Poland; as prototype was given project number 151.0. Lead boat Sassnitz was equipped with eight tubes for the Soviet Uran antiship missile for trials purposes, but they had been removed by the summer of 1990; the craft was decommissioned in July 1991 and transferred to the Border Guard by in October 1991, along with sisters Sellin (BG 24, ex-592) and Binz (ex-593), which had never been operated by the German Navy.The unconverted Sellin was sold in 1999. Under an order placed in 1992, Sassnitz was re-engined by her builder; the original plant incorporated three Type M 520 multirow radial diesels of 5,400 bhp each, driving three shafts for a top speed of 37 kts. The original armament of one 76mm AK-176 DP gun, one 30mm AK-630 gatling gun, and one Strela-3M SAM system was removed, and the TSR-333 and Vympel radars were replaced by modern surface surveillance radars. The superstructure was extended aft, and the pilothouse deckhouse enlarged. Binz was given a similar reconstruction 1995-96 and commissioned by Border Guard as Bad Düben.
