Notes

The Nampo-class corvettes (or light frigates) are a class of warships built in North Korea. They were seen from satellite-photos in 2013 and are believed to be a replacement for the older Soho-class frigate. The class has some similarities to Myanmar Navy UMS Tabinshweht, an Anawrahta-class frigate.

Two known hulls have been launched: one on the Sea of Japan in Najin and one in Nampo for service in the Yellow Sea.
