Finnish Minelayer Pohjanmaa

The Pohjanmaa class minelayer (Finnish: Pohjanmaa-luokan miinalaiva) is a minelayer in use by the Finnish Navy.

There is currently only one Pohjanmaa class vessel in service in the Finnish Navy. She is the flagship of the navy. The ship has an ice operating classification of ICE-1A so she can operate all year round.

During a crisis the main task for Pohjanmaa is mine laying and acting as a command ship. She also acts as a school ship for the Naval Academy cadets. Part of their training includes an annual cruise abroad.
