Next Generation Corvette project

The Next Generation Corvette project is a development programme managed by Sanama State Maritime Industries. The stated goal of the project is to produce a modern and capable corvette to fill the patrol, littoral sea control and near-coast anti-submarine warfare roles. It is slated to replace the Elwynn-class corvette, Klimatariá-class missile corvette, Melusine-class missile boat, and the Coastal patrol boat currently in service with the Federal Navy. It will also be offered to other members of the Raspur Pact.
