Golub-class guard ships[1] were originally built as minelayers and netlayers for the Imperial Russian Navy. Two of the ships were captured by the Germans at Tallinn in 1918 and were given to Finland in 1920. Four more were completed in 1919 and sold via Germans to Chilean Navy (eventually named as Colocolo, Leucoton, Elicura, and Orompello).[3][1]

The ships had fairly good seagoing abilities and were stable platforms. It was especially well suited for heavy minesweeping duties.[3][2]

gollark: My thing might end up containing the unfathomable machine learning™ and exact word match approach together, as it doesn't do very well at finding particular keywords as is.

gollark: So similar words, sort of thing? I was investigating using https://sbert.net/ for my own slightly related thing. It's fairly good for search, at least.

gollark: Also wow this bug list is long.

gollark: How does the "pages like this one" feature work?

gollark: Rebooting every week is *so* highly Windows. Do not Windows.
