Perspective
The Yevgenya-class are small minesweepers built for inshore work. The hulls are constructed of glass-reinforced plastic. As built, they have a standard displacement of 89.9 tonnes (88.5 long tons), 91 tonnes (90 long tons) normally, 93.0 tonnes (91.5 long tons) at full load and maximum 96 tonnes (94 long tons). The Yevegenya-class measures 26.13 metres (85 ft 9 in) long overall, 23 metres (75 ft 6 in) between perpendiculars and 24.16 metres (79 ft 3 in) at the waterline with an extreme beam of 5.9 metres (19 ft 4 in) and 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in) at the waterline. The vessels have a normal draught of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) and 1.38 metres (4 ft 6 in) fully loaded.[2]

As built, the minesweepers are powered by two diesel engines, turning two propeller shafts that create 630 kilowatts (850 bhp). This gives the ships a maximum speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) and a range of 300 nmi (560 km; 350 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). They carry 91 tonnes (90 long tons) of diesel fuel.[2]
