Ship project history: American small transports (former APC75, 67, 71, 66, 73, 65 respectively), built in 1943. They were transferred to Greece on lend-lease in July, 1943 and converted to minesweepers. Originally they had ФT designations, later received names. After war all were used as cargo vessels and lighthouse tenders.

Modernizations: None.

Naval service: In 1963-1964 all were sold mercantile.
