Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week
Yeah....it was bit easy...
The reason posted this, as I finaly found pic of it. There where two Riga class SKR in Finnish navy, aquired mostly for gunnery ships to replace the wartorne old sloops as well as the Coastal amoured ships. The ships were modified so that the main AA armament was two single bofors 40mm and the disquintive Soviet 30mm in the bow (it was fitted in the 70's). Also these ships posessed torbedo armament, wich was forbidden in the peace treaty with the allied after WWII. Therefore, that feature was never printed in our domestic naval charts and while our President during the Cold War visited these ships and was presented with some torpedo practice, it sure raised some eye-browns in his staff.
Hämeenmaa is also name ship of my home province, so therefore its kinda my favorite ship...It served its final years as a minelayer.

Correct. The pic source is this: with the info in Russian, but includes specs for both variants. I suggest that you use Babelfish to translate into English, although the translation will not be the best.
Post the next question!
