Comment: First pair ordered 20 February 1990. This is a design by the Hellenic Navy which uses the modular concept so that weapons and sensors can be changed as required. Appearance is similar to 'Osprey 55' class. Pyrpolitislaunched 16 September 1992, Polemistis21 June 1993. Completion delayed by the shipyard's financial problems.
