The '''Uisko class''', also known as the '''Marine Alutech Watercat M11''' [[landing craft]] is a type of vessel in use by the [[Finnish Navy]]. It is the predecessor of the [[Jurmo class landing craft]]. Uisko was the first water jet vessel of the Finnish Navy. It features excellent maneuverability and low draft suitable for shallow waters. It can be used for [[amphibious assault]] and transport of marine infantry. The uisko has a cargo capacity of 2.5 tons.

''Uisko'' is the Finnish word for Viking [[longship]] type vessels. Several Finnish navy and Coast Guard vessels have previously carried the name.
