This is my view of AU Finnish Navy,with current (according to my point of view) ships all together,I do not remember who was the author of the Sattaja Class ( the 2 first ships ),as I have it in my computer uncredited and iI cant find it to fix this.But I made two possible versions of Sattaja.

Mentioned Sattaja, when it was built or planned to built? Around early 1980's? I know Pr 1159 Koni built from 1975-1988 in various Soviet shipyards.What about a timeline of Finnish Navy AU?
P.S I like that green camo, it is gorgeous!

it's also my drawing (thougth the idea is from Australian GP escort, I just toyed with the idea, and while the Australians were drawing that ship, I recalled that I had done it also by myself), Saattaja is a finnish word that means "escort" and was used as a title for the pr.50 (RIGA) class in real life. In Finnish navy (as well as in Swedish) the fast GB missileboat armed with 57mm gun basicly replaced the role of ligth frigate or corvette...

Does AAW-Sattaja have enough hull depth for that VLS so far aft? I'd think not. How long is the relevant VLS? I know estimating from missile length is foolish and dangerous.
