Military 101: Turkish ADA Class Corvettes Dynamic Design Proposition for RMN

RMN Frigate KD Lekiu Jebat Navy Ship ADA class corvettes

Corvettes like the Turkish-made ADA class corvettes and frigates like the UK-made KD Lekiu above are both types of warships, but they have different sizes, armaments, and roles.
