The Krake class was a class of ten mine warfare vessels of the Volksmarine. Built between 1956 and 1958, they served in both minelaying and mine clearance roles until 1973, when seven of the ships were decommissioned and scrapped, with the three remaining ships serving in a training role until 1976.
