Pakistan-Turkey 4 Milgem Ada Class Corvettes Contract - Construction started

I am very confused, is this Corvette or a light frigate ?

I would say Frigate but different countries classify ships in different ways, for example some use tonnage, some use size, some use capability.

In terms of tonnage and capability this is certainly in Frigate territory.

A frigate, not just a light frigate, a proper frigate. The Turkish versions of the Ada are corvettes, the Pakistani versions are much bigger and better armed.

Near 2,926 tones it's a frigate, and with comparable weaponry, to other modern frigates in that class.

Is it me or these milgem ships are better looking visually than the type 054a that we are getting?

Doha Class Corvette

Gowind Class Corvette.

There are many modern day Corvettes which are very heavily equipped. But they are still called corvettes. Although I think it doesn't matter what you call them.

The PN is calling the MILGEMs "corvettes" (source: ex-CNS speech), but they're more capable than our F-22Ps, which we call frigates. However, a growing number of navies would consider even a 3,000-ton ship like the PN MILGEM a 'corvette' -- the trends I guess.

A nice video on FERSAH anti-submarine sensor systems, developed by ASELSAN. It’s incorporated into MILGEM…

I don't care what others say. These ships are more capable than f22p which are called frigates by PN. So there is no reason to call Milgem as corvettes

Turkish Yavuz class frigate is 2919 tons but still a frigate with much lower weapon/elctronic suite load
