Open sources describe the family as a close-range mine-warfare force built around mechanical, magnetic, acoustic, and infrasonic sweeping, with the Wozang generation adding mine-hunting sensors, ROV-style neutralization vehicles, and remotely controlled Type 529/Wonang inshore minesweeping craft.

Bundesarchiv-linked records and specialist ship databases describe the boats as Class 362 coastal guard craft that became Class 394 inshore minesweepers, with ten Bundesmarine hulls entering service from 1966 to 1969 and three former German boats later forming part of Estonia's post-restoration mine-countermeasures force into the 2000s.

The design combines a fiberglass hull, mine-search sonar, sweep and mine-destruction gear, a 30 mm AK-306 gun, and an Igla-1 self-defense missile fit; RT-233's 2023-2024 fleet movement gives the class a sourced but limited 2014 Russia-Ukraine War connection rather than confirmed combat-loss evidence.
