Project history: Ordered on 1 January 1951 from Volkswerft Stralsund. Design apparently heavily dependant on wartime 'M40' minesweepers, though diesel propulsion employed instead of steam. Ships of 2nd series were completed with additional section amidships as a result of operational experience.
Modernizations: 1950s, 6.11-6/15: + Zarnitsa radar
1960s, Frankfurt/Oder, Stralsund: - 1 x 1 - 85/52; + 1 x 2 - 57/75 ZIF-31B
Naval service: No significant events.
