| Also known as E-71 class they were the first, and so far only, warships built in Belgium since WWII. Designed for escort missions in the North Sea/English channel area, they are heavily armed despite their limited size. Three of them transferred to Bulgaria after retirement while the other was scrapped after a grounding accident. |
