Due to a deal with Azerbaijan, four torpedo boats were traded for one Latvian coastal submarine. These are the torpedo boats, after refit. Pre-refit version can be found here: Khoyski class torpedo boats

'Natural speed' for length: 15.17 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 66 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
