Finnish Navy (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Finnish Navy is one of the branches of the Finnish Defence Forces. The Navy employs 2,300 people and about 4,300 conscripts are trained each year. Finnish Navy vessels are given the ship prefix "FNS" simply short for "Finnish Navy Ship." Prefix is not used while conversing in Finnish language. As a term "Finnish Navy" is a bit misleading since it refers to Finnish Naval fleet, but there are also coastal forces which are in fact capable of releasing more firepower than the naval fleet, and in time of war naval ships are dependent on supply and cover provided by the coastal forces.
