Project history: These steel coastal sweepers were built to place the wartime T-301 and the interim Project 255; they were also used as patrol craft. The TTZ was issued in 1946; it called for mine countermeasures up to 60nm from a base and also for minelaying. The main improvements, compared to Project 255, were a better sonar and better degaussing. On sea trials, the lead unit proved quite wet. In the improved Project 265K, the shape of the bow was changed, bilge keels were added. The next step 265A was to provide nuclear protection and also to increase engine power. Three ships were built as minehunters with IT-3 ROV.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: In 1981 15 ships were in service, mostly stricken in 1980s. Only two served in 1992.
