What is skjold class corvette?

The Skjold-class corvette is a class of Norwegian navy fast patrol boats. The boats are designed for naval warfare in littoral zones, specifically for protecting Norway's coastlines. The design philosophy behind the Skjold-class corvette is marine stealth technology, with an emphasis on minimizing radar reflection and acoustic signature. This makes the ship difficult to detect by both radar and sonar, and a more effective combat vessel in coastal waters. The corvette has a displacement of between 250 and 280 tons and is capable of speeds in excess of 60 knots. The Skjold-class corvette is armed with a number of guns and missile systems, including the Umoe Mandal-built 76mm gun, as well as anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles. The Skjold-class corvette is one of the most advanced small combat vessels in the world, offering a unique combination of speed, stealth, and firepower.
