Kormoran II (Cormorant Class) - officially project 258, mine hunting type of vessels in building for the Polish Navy. The 2011 Defense Budget included a single vessel of this class.[citation needed] It was launched on 4 September 2015 and was predicted to enter service late 2016. Two more ships have been planned. Ships are built by Remontowa Shipbuilding Gdańsk and Naval Shipyard Gdynia consortium.[2] It will be armed with 35 mm KDA anti-aircraft cannon.[3] A lead ship ORP Kormoran (601) was commissioned on 28 November 2017.[4] In summer 2018 building of a second ship of this project - named ORP Albatros (602) - was initiated.[5] Albatros was launched on 10 October 2019 and construction of third ship, ORP Mewa, also started on that day.[6] It's planned to build another 3 ships in 2029-2031 [7]
