Modernizing notes: late 1930s, both: armament was fully replaced by 2 x 1 - 105/45 SK C/32, 2 x 1 - 40/60 Bofors, 1 x 1 - 20/60 Madsen.

Fate Notes: ex-Russian dispatch vessels (really escorts), abandoned by Russians in April 1918 when outfitted in Helsinki. Both were immediately sized by Germans, used as minesweepers after WWI and returned to Finland in 1920.
