The Yevgenya class, Soviet designation Project 1258 Korund, are a series of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy and export customers between 1967 and 1980.

Design

The Yevgenya class were small minesweepers built for inshore work. The hulls were constructed of glass-reinforced plastic. As built they had a standard displacement of 89.9 tonnes (88.5 long tons), 91 tonnes (90 long tons) normally , 93.0 tonnes (91.5 long tons) at full load and maximum 96 tonnes (94 long tons). The Yevegenya class measured 26.13 metres (85 ft 9 in) long overall, 23 metres (75 ft 6 in) between perpendiculars and 24.16 metres (79 ft 3 in) at the waterline with an extreme beam of 5.9 metres (19 ft 4 in) and 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in) at the waterline. The vessel had a normal draught of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) and 1.38 metres (4 ft 6 in) fully load.[2]

As built, the minesweepers were powered by two diesel engines turning two propeller shafts creating 630 kilowatts (850 bhp). This gave the ships a maximum speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) and a range of 300 nmi (560 km; 350 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). They carried 91 tonnes (90 long tons) of diesel fuel.[2]

The vessels had twin-mounted 14.5 mm (0.57 in) machine guns. They were equipped with MT-34, AT-2, SEMT-3, Neva and GKT-3 sweeps. The minesweepers mounted MG-7 sonar. They had a complement of 10.[2]
