 Osa I (Project 205) craft The Osa class is the Nato reporting name for a group of Fast attack craft, developed for the Soviet Navy in the early 1960's. The Soviet designation is Project 205 (Проект 205) and Project 205U (Проект 205У) Tsunami. This is probably the largest class of missile boats built with over 400 vessels constructed for both the Soviets and for export to allied countries. Two main variants were built: The Osa 1 (Project 205) which had box shaped missile containers and the Osa 2 (205U) which had cylindrical missile containers. "Osa" means "wasp" in Russian, but it is not an original name.
