The Finnish Navy displayed one of its new Jehu-class combat/landing ships in Keisarinluoto Quay in the South Harbour of Helsinki on 9 July for the first time as part of anniversary celebrations for the Finnish Navy.

The navy took delivery of the first three Jehu-class vessels in June. A total of 12 Jehu-class vessels are on order from Marine Alutech.

The multipurpose Jehu class - or U-700 class ship - can be used in coastal areas, archipelagos and high seas. They are designed for troop transportation, escort, and sea surveillance missions; and landing, battle and battle support and medical and evacuation operations.

The vessels have a large-scale transport capacity and effective countermeasure systems, including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and ballistic systems. They also have a remote weapon station to connect to several weapon types.
