Development

The Tikhiy okean-class minelayers were the first purpose-built, ocean-going minelayers in the world. They were initially classified as Mine cruisers, but were later reclassified as Minelayers. Initially two units were build of wich both sunk at the Far Eastern-Japanese war. However as their performance was success until their lose, two aditional units were constructed after the war.

Characteristics

These ships were similar to small cruisers of the time. They were intended to drop their mines in high speed and thus have considerable overhang in the stern so that mines could be laid without interfering the propellers.
