The patrol-boat Grif was the first naval ship of regaining its independence with Estonia. Built in Feodossija in the Ukraine in 1976 as a guard boat for the coast guard of the SSSR and was used for patrolling on the Gulf of Finland and Moonsund. In 1992 the Defence Initiative Centre confiscated the ship. On the withdrawal of the Soviet troops from Estonia the “Grif” was transferred to newly formed Estonian Navy where its service lasted until 2001 when the ship was handed over to the Maritime Museum.
