Keihässalmi, Museum ship at Forum Marinum, Turku, Finland

The Keihässalmi minelayer vessel extends 56 meters in length, features two Wärtsilä diesel engines, and carries multiple anti-aircraft gun installations.

Built in Helsinki in 1957, this minelayer vessel served as the Finnish Navy's flagship and conducted the first post-war naval visits to Sweden and Soviet Union.

The vessel represents Finnish naval engineering expertise, serving as both an operational warship and a training platform for numerous naval personnel generations.

The museum ship opens for public visits during summer months at Forum Marinum maritime center, allowing exploration of military naval technology.

The vessel underwent a major renovation in 1981, receiving modernized fire control systems and increased ballast for enhanced seaworthiness.
