Isku Missile boat
Isku missile boat was the Finnish Navy's missile training boat. The name was chosen from the former Motor Torpedo Boat Isku because it was also a pilot vessel originally built for educational purposes. The ship was built in Pori at the Reposaari workshop in 1970. It was Finland's first missile boat. The ship was intended solely as a training vessel for new missiles, so seaworthiness was considered to be subordinate to the carrying capacity, so it was decided to make the ship a single hull ferry. That's because training shootings would be done in the inner archipelago.
The ship mounted weapons purchased from the Soviet Union: four launchers for P-15 Termit (NATO reporting name SS-N-2 Styx) anti -ship missiles and one 30mm double-barreled cannon. The same missiles and their launchers were also used in the Tuima-class missiles, for which a procurement decision had already been made.
The ship served in missile training until 1988, when it was decommissioned by the Finnish Navy when Styx missiles were abandoned.
