The South African Navy & Marine and Coastal Management: SA Navy changes Valour class designation from Patrol Corvette to Frigate http://navy.org.za/articles/2006/01/25/phx272 en-us 40 The South African Navy & Marine and Coastal Management - Unofficial Site SA Navy changes Valour class designation from Patrol Corvette to Frigate <p>The SA Navy is quietly changing the designation of its Valour-class Meko A200SAN ships from "patrol corvette" to "frigate". The Navy website, www.navy.mil.za, already reflects the change. The former class designation has come under persistent attack as the Valours are slightly larger than the Australian ANZAC class of frigates -- also a Meko 200 design, albeit of a more conventional design. </p> Wed, 25 Jan 2006 08:19:00 +0000 urn:uuid:1cdd4dc8-b23c-4224-80ee-64a272 admin http://navy.org.za/articles/2006/01/25/phx272 Today's Ships Navy Valour Meko A200 http://navy.org.za/articles/trackback/273
