The Government of Bangladesh has signed a contract with the Chinese
Wuchan Shipyard, for the construction and delivery of two 64 meter
corvettes, similar to, but slightly larger than the Azmat class fast
missile boats supplied earlier this year to Pakistan. The first vessel
will be completed in 2013. Each of the boats will have a displacement of
648 tons and a top speed of 28 knots. Based on the Houjian-class (Type
037/2) missile craft in service with the People’s Liberation Army Navy,
the vessel is designed to carry eight C-802A anti-ship missiles, two 25
mm guns and two 12.7 mm machine guns
