DESCRIPTION
The Amnok-class corvette is one of North Korea’s most modern surface combatants, first revealed in 2023. It represents a significant departure from the older Soviet-era designs that dominate the Korean People’s Navy (KPN), adopting a more modern, stealth-influenced profile with angled surfaces and integrated sensor masts. The class appears designed for multi-role coastal defense, focusing on anti-surface and limited anti-air warfare, with secondary capabilities against submarines.
