"Ribnadzor-4 class" is the NATO reporting name for a class of fisheries patrol boats built in the Soviet Union. The Soviet designation was Project 1326 Bystryy.[1]
Design
The boats were primarily intended for the border protection units tasked with fisheries control. Therefore, the boats did not posses armaments when originally commissioned. Officially they were designed as "Fishery protection vessels". [2]
Ships
Four ships were built between 1974 and 1979. The builders were the Vympel Shipyard (Rybinsk) and the Yantar Shipyard (Kaliningrad). After the fall of the Soviet Union, the ships were distributed among the successor states.[2]
- Russian Coast Guard: 1 ship
- Ukraine: 1 ship
- Latvian Navy: 2 ships (all retired)
