The UK completes preparations for the transfer to Ukraine of two mine defense ships of the Sandown projectThe UK is completing preparations for the transfer of two minesweepers of the Sandown project to Ukraine, bred in 2021 from the United Kingdom Navy.

For the needs of the Ukrainian Navy, it was decided to purchase ships, which were part of the British Navy during the period from 1989 by 2001 years. These are minesweepers HMS Ramsy and HMS Blyth, withdrawn from the British fleet specifically for transfer to Ukraine.

The technical characteristics of the ships are as follows: length - 52,6 m, width - 10,5 m, displacement 450 tonnes, speed up 13 nodes on a diesel power plant and up to 6,5 nodes in an electrical installation.
