In modern terms, a corvette is typically between 500 tons and 2,000 tons, although recent designs may approach 3,000 tons, which might instead be considered a small frigate.


They are usually armed with medium- and small-caliber guns, surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles (SAM), and anti-submarine weapons. Many can accommodate a small or medium anti-submarine warfare helicopter.

So basically it’s number of days deployment at sea may be between 2-4 weeks vs larger ships

For example read pn version of Turkish ship will have more fuel, water and provision capacity and can stay longer then Turkish version and perhaps the reason pn classifying then as frigate

Different navies use different metrics for classifications. Some use tonnage, some capablity and I guess PN use days they can operate at Sea?
