Discover the intricacies of the MSC Class Minesweeper 3D model, a meticulously crafted model showcasing the robust design and operational history of these wooden minesweepers built in the USA. This model highlights the significant dimensions and capabilities of the minesweeper. Dimensions: 43.9 meters (length) / 8.5 meters (beam) / 2.6 meters (draft). Propulsion: Diesel 380 bhp, twin-wheel. Armament: 2 × 20 mm guns. All MSC Class Minesweepers were constructed in the USA and made of wood. Greece acquired nine of these vessels. In 1965, Aigli (formerly MSC 299) and KLEIO (M-213) were received. From 1990 to 1995, they underwent partial modernization, including new propulsion engines and navigational radar. Between 1969 and 1970, six additional MSC 60 minesweepers were acquired from the USA to form the type B group. These vessels have a displacement of approximately 400 tons, dimensions of 44 meters in length, 8 meters maximum width, and 3.6 meters draft. Initially equipped with 4 GM 671 diesel engines, they were later upgraded with 2 GM 8268 A engines and a Solar turbine.
