The Amnok class is a class of corvettes built by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and is current the most modern class in service of that nation. Project 661 was first seen in 2011, being identified in 2016. The first ship of two entered service in August of 2023, being by far the most capable warship of the entire fleet.
Despite being newly built and displacing almost 2.000 tons, the ship is severely outdated and underarmed. All systems onboard have been provided by China and Russia, largely from decommissioned warships. Equipment dates back to the second world war or early 1950s, partially being altered to be put onto a warship. Though Radar, ASW and main armament are outdated, the ship still poses a threat to South Korea and Japan, as it is able to carry eight Hwasal-2 long range nuclear cruise missiles.
