It belongs to the category of Fast Patrol Boat of the “ESTEREL” type.

She was launched on 11 – 7 – 1975 at 08:00 and after the end of the tests in the port and at sea she was delivered to the Navy with the hoisting of the Greek flag at 12:00 on 28 – 7 – 1975 in Naples, France.

  •         Date of departure from France : 31 July 1975.

The ship was named in honor of the Keleystis Stamos, who died for his country on 14 September 1943, as a crew member of the Y/V KATSONIS. The Y/V was sunk after being rammed by the former Greek minesweeper – minesweeper STRYMON, which had fallen prey to the Germans and was renamed UJ-2101. Petty Officer Stamos was the gunner of the Pυροβόло with which Katsonis took out the German ship.
