From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Golub-class guard ships[1] were originally built as minelayers and netlayers for the Imperial Russian Navy. Two of the ships were captured by the Germans at Tallinn in 1918 and were given to Finland in 1920. Four more were completed in 1919 and sold via Germans to Chilean Navy (eventually named as Colocolo, Leucoton, Elicura, and Orompello).[3][1]
The ships had fairly good seagoing abilities and were stable platforms. They were especially well suited for heavy minesweeping duties.[3][2]
