THETIS CLASS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Thetis Class Corvettes, originally developed for the German Navy and first commissioned in 1961, is a class of naval vessel currently in service in the Hellenic Navy.
Similar in size to corvettes, all three vessels were built by Rolandwerft, Bremen.
The Thetis class carries a complement of 20mm and 40mm guns, Mk 46 Mod5 torpedoes and mines, and are equipped with sonar.
Recently,
the A/S mortars have been replaced by a second 40mm gun and single
torpedo tubes by triple mountings. Upgrades started in 2000 may have
included enclosed 40mm gun mountings and Rheinmetall 20mm guns to
replace the MGs.
