According to "Weyers Flottentaschenbuch" there were only left three boats in the service of the coast-guard in 1973/74. The other boats probably were laid up.

"Nuoli 1", "Nuoli 2", and "Nuoli 3"  burned up 1987 during an exercise at the fire-fighting training-centre Upinniemi. 

"Nuoli 4" was employed as target-ship and burned up 1979 at Pansiossa. 

"Nuoli 5" was reconstructed as a private house-boat. 

"Nuoli 6" was transported by ship to Upinniemi 1982, were it were to be employed as test-vehicle for the newly-developed torpedo-system. However, she was damaged so badly during the transoprt that she was broken up in summer 1983.

"Nuoli 7" was broken up 1981 at Pansiossa.

"Nuoli 8" is situated at the Maritime Museum Forum Marinum at Turku.
