Ahven-class minesweeper

The Ahven class minesweepers (Perch) was a series of six minesweepers of the Finnish Navy. The ships were constructed in 1937 at the Turun veneveistämö shipyard and saw service during World War II.

The ships were later used as starting point for the design of the Kuha-class minesweeper (1941). The Ahven class was scrapped in 1961.
