MEKO 140

MEKO 140

The MEKO 140 is a frigate design by the German Blohm und Voss shipyard as part of the MEKO family of vessels.

Variants

Six vessels of the MEKO 140 A16 variant were constructed in Argentina by the Río Santiago Shipyards (AFNE) near La Plata for the Argentine Navy. They are locally named as the "Espora" class and currently serve in the High Seas Fleet (“Flota de Mar”).

Although considered by its designers to be frigates, the "Espora" class vessels have been classed in Argentina as corvettes.
