Pohjanmaa is a minelayer of the Finnish Navy. The sole member of her class, she was the flagship of the Finnish Navy as well as the largest naval ship in service in Finland as of 2013. The ship has an ice operating classification of ICE-1A so she can operate all year round. During a crisis the main task for Pohjanmaa is mine laying and acting as a command ship. She also acts as a school ship for the Naval Academy cadets. Part of their training includes an annual cruise abroad.


The 34-year-old Pohjanmaa was scheduled for decommissioning in late 2013, but the current schedule is now 2015. In October 2013 Hämeenmaa took over the role of flagship of the Finnish Navy.
