Hämeenmaa-class Minelayer
The ''Hämeenmaa''-class minelayers (-luokan miinalaiva) is a two-vessel strong class of coastal minelayers, used by the Finnish Navy. The Finnish Navy ordered the lead ship ''Hämeenmaa'' as a replacement for the venerable minelayer ''Keihässalmi'', while the second ship brought the number of Finnish Navy minelayers to three, complementing the slightly larger ''Pohjanmaa''.
