The Sasha class is the NATO reporting name for a class of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy between 1954 and 1956. The Soviet designation was Project 265.
Design
[edit]The specification for the design was issued in 1946. The ships were steel-hulled coastal minesweepers and were to replace wartime T301-class coastal sweepers. Following trials the bow shape was changed to improve sea-keeping and more advanced electronics and sweeps were introduced throughout the service lives of these ships.[citation needed]
Ships
[edit]At total of 37 ships were built at Rybinsk. The last two ships were retired in 1992.[citation needed]
