ST. PETERSBURG, October 14 (RIA Novosti)

 

St. Petersburg's Severnaya Verf shipyard will deliver a new stealth corvette to the Russian Navy at an official ceremony on Friday.

 

The Soobrazitelny is the second Project 20380 or Steregushchy class corvette designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau.

Looks like a quite good Perry replacement and candidate for a number of Coast Guard classes. LCS imho should still be smaller than this 2,000 tons but heh, if one could replace Perrys and maybe some Sprus with something like this there would be some dough for quantity to be chewed up in the littorals.
