This is something so beautiful and it comes from a museum. The ship and oropesa are made of aluminum, brass, copper, and rope, and the whole structure rests on brass spheres that in turn rest on a wooden base. Some parts have been spray-painted ivory white.
The Neštin-class minesweeper is a class of minesweepers specifically designed for clearing naval mines on rivers. The class was built for the Yugoslav Navy's needs on the Danube and was also sold to Hungary and Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s. Design: In the 1970s, a new design for a river minesweeper was requested to replace the 301-class minesweeper in the Yugoslav Navy. The Neštin class was designed by the Naval Institute of the Yugoslav Navy. All minesweepers were built by the Brodotehnika shipyard in Belgrade. They can load and lay 18 AIM-M82 non-contact mines or 24 R-1 anchor mines, as well as carry 80 fully equipped troops. Countermeasures equipment consists of mechanical mine hunter MDL-2R, improvised electromagnetic/acoustic mine hunter PEAM-1 and explosive mine hunter AEL. The Neštin class is powered by two Torpedo B-539RM/2 engines, each rated at 121 kW.An Oropesa is a streamlined, towed body used for minesweeping. The Oropesa's role is to maintain the towed sweep at a specific depth and position from the minesweeping vessel. Oropesa are standard equipment used on standard-class mine countermeasures vessels.
Some paint damage below where the ship touches the brass balls. But almost invisible unless you look closely. On the shield it says; Remember the staff of MN 9680 88.5 x 10 x 17 cm. Ship 33 x 8.5 cm Oropesa 30,5 x 2,8 cm
