The Albanian coast guard boat according to a CIA report dated 15 November 1949

An item reported that the Albanian navy possessed over one coast guard boat of German origin and stationed at Durres. Tonnage 25/30 tons/250-300 quintals, a crew numbering 10-12 men navy personnel and 2 M.R. men, a speed of 12-15 miles and an armament consisting of 2x2German quick firing guns and the individual arms of the crewmembers. The boast was now under repair at Krioneri near Vlone since she was hauled out of the water a month before. Engines and ship were seriously damaged so she won’t be available for duty for a long time.
