Project history: German KFK-type boats. T-651 - 655, 669, 678 - 680, 690 and 691 were ex-German KFK-boats, sunk by Soviet forces, salvaged and commissioned by Soviet Navy in 1945 as minesweepers. T-671 - 677, 685 - 689 and 692 - 694 were captured on the stocks in Varna and Burgas and completed by Soviets as minesweepers. Other boats were purchased as war reparations and commissioned partly as minesweeping boats, partly as auxiliaries and fishing boats.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: Earlier ships were reclassified as minesweeping boats in February 1947.
