Now Viewing: CorvetteTag type: General A corvette is a small warship. It is traditionally the smallest class of vessel considered to be a proper (or "rated") warship. The warship class above the corvette is that of the frigate, while the class below was historically that of the sloop-of-war. The modern types of ships below a corvette are coastal patrol craft, missile boat and fast attack craft. In modern terms, a corvette is typically between 500 tons and 2,000 tons, although recent designs may approach 3,000 tons, which might instead be considered a small frigate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvette Use this tag to describe a warship that is lighter than most of frigates, but heavier than most of boats (or starfighters in space fiction terminology).
