The Kiisla class was a Finnish class of two patrol boats later
converted to anti-submarine warfare vessels. The ships were built in
1984 and 1988 at the Hollming shipyard in Rauma, Finland for the
Finnish Coast Guard. They were transferred to the Finnish Navy in
2004. The two vessels of the class formed the Guard Squadron (Finnish: Vartioviirikkö) of the 7th Missile Boat Flotilla and they were based at Upinniemi. After only a few years in service in the Finnish Navy, the Kiisla class patrol boats were laid up and offered for sale. In January 2013, the Finnish shipowner proposed that the unused vessels should be donated to Djibouti, where they would be used for anti-piracy patrols. On 10 July 2013, it was announced that as no sufficient buyer had been found, Kiisla and Kurki would be scrapped and salvaged parts used as spares for other vessels of the Finnish Navy. The ships were broken up in 2015. |
