| | Background Information and Short History of Finnish Navy |
 | | Former escort vessels of the Yacht of the Czar. |
 | | Torpedo boats, S 1 to S 5 were of "Sokol" class (260 tons, 29 knots, 1 torpedo tube) built in 1901 and S 6 was slightly smaller (186 tons, 22 knots, 2 torpedo tubes) built 1902. |
 | | In 1936 all vessels with only a "number" were renamed, so that every unit was to have a "real" name, for example M 1 was renamed to Louhi, MTV 1 to Isku, CV 707 to Vesikko etc. This was done to improve identity. |
