The Dioskuria (დიოსკურია) was a French-built Tiger-class fast attack craft (1972), obtained in 2004 from Greece, formerly the PG Ypoploiarchos Batsis (P 17) (originally HS Kalypso P54) built by Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie in Cherbourg (1972-2004). Built to be equipped with the four MM38 Exocet missile system, two Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannons and two 533 mm (21 in) torpedo-launchers, she was the most powerful combat craft in the Georgian Navy. She too was severely damaged in the 2008 South Ossetia war and sunk in Poti
