List of active Estonian Navy ships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of active Estonian Navy ships. In total there are 7 commissioned ships in the navy.[1]
In 2023 the Naval Fleet of the Police and Border Guard Board was merged with the Estonian Navy, meaning that the Police and Border Guard Board transferred its four sizeable sea-going patrol vessels, the Kindral Kurvits, the EML Pikker, the EML Valve, and the EML Raju, to Estonian Navy and retained only some smaller boats (and 3 hovercraft). The transfer was made to improve coastal patrol capabilities and save money.[2][3]
EML Pikker retired at the end of 2025.
