Tonghae class corvette

Four Tonghae (Dong Hae) class corvettes are used by the South Korean Navy for coastal patrol duties. Each corvette is armed with one 1 OTO Melara 76mm compact gun, 3 AA guns, 6 torpedoes and 12 depth charges for anti submarine operations. The ships resemble the later Pohang class but have slightly different armament. Each ship was build by a different shipbuilder. ROKS Tonghae (PCC-751) was the first to be launched, in August 1982, and ROKS Anyang (PCC-755) the last in 1983. Each ship is named after a South Korean city while Tonghae is a port city itself.
