Vesikko was built in 1933 by the Crichton-Vulcan shipyard in Turku, Finland. The Finnish navy purchased it from Germany in 1936. She patrolled Gulf of Finland during Winter War 1939-40 and Continuation War 1941-44. Paris Peace Treaties in 1947 forbade submarines from Finland. In 1990 Finland unilaterally declared certain articles in treaty void including submarine ban. Nevertheless the navy has not acquired new submarines.
