Design and construction by Vard Group. The Vard 7-series 125 OPV is designed by the naval architect Vard Marine, with HQ in Vancouver Canada and offices in Ottawa Ontario Canada, Houston Texas USA, Vũng Tàu Vietnam, and Gdańsk Poland. Vard Marine is a subsidiary of Vard Group of Norway (7 shipyards + naval architect), a group that was acquired by Fincantieri of Italy in 2014. Most likely, the hull will be built at one of the latter Vard shipyards abroad and fitted at a Vard shipyard in Norway for quality control (3 shipyards in Norway, 2 in Romania, 1 in Vietnam, 1 in Brazil). So, Fincantieri is owned by the state of Italy, but all work is done by an enterprise they've acquired. Vard Group is about to deliver a third vessel of the larger KV Jan Mayen class long-range Arctic OPV to The Norwegian Coast Guard, later in 2024 (see vessels: W310 KV Jan Mayen, W311 KV Bjørnøya, and later W312 KV Hopen, on UA-cam).

Canadian design, not Italian. The Vard 7 125 OPV was designed by Vard Marine (HQ in Vancouver Canada, with offices in Ottawa Ontario Canada, Houston Texas USA, Vũng Tàu Vietnam, and Gdańsk Poland). Vard Marine is a subsidiary of Vard Group of Norway, which was acquired by Fincantieri of Italy in 2014 (so the Italian relation goes back only 6-9 years, at the time of this design). Note that Fincantieri, due to international aquisitions, have kept most of the organizational structure (probably due to complexity and languages) - so under Fincantieri there exist an Italian group (9 shipyards + architects), the Vard Group (7 shipyards + Vard Marine architects), and a group in USA (3 shipyards). From what I know, as a local from the shipyard region in Norway, designs that are constructed at Vard Group shipyards are either created by their own Vard Marine or often external Norwegian naval architects, depending on the type of project and unique local requirements. One good example: LMG Marin (independent Norwegian naval architect, and one of Europe's leading) designed the larger Jan Mayen class of Arctic OPV, built by Fincantieri (Vard Group), and you can see the typical Norwegian design cues in those vessels (W310 KV Jan Mayen, W311 KV Bjørnøya, and W312 KV Hopen), and most likely, due to some specific Nowegian DMA requirements for patrolling the Barents Sea and border sharing with a increasingly more hostile Russia (e.g. Polar Class 6, Hensoldt AESA radar, anti-sub sonar, etc). The naval environment and the employees at the specific naval architect office, their personal creativity, and how they are organized with subsidiaries and so are compartmentalized and interacts continuously in their subgroup, these factors are most influential in the design - more than what ownership is (of shipyard or naval architect office). In the end, ownership may have nothing to do with the design at all.

At 150 crew this is no OPV or corvette. It is a frigate plain and simple and an underwhelming one at that.

Mas mahal ito at meron ng corvette mas malakas pa dito inorder

No it doesn't. The USN's new frigate is significantly more capable then this thing. For starters it has an aegis baseline 10 radar and it has 16 cannister launched missiles and 32 VLS.

@@carisi2k11 Looks are in the eye of the beholder.

Looks nothing like it.

Precisely. @@loyalist5736

CORVETTES NA ITO DI OPV..

@@packohub1145opv po sya but capable of corvette and frigate din sya

Compra 4 para ir cambiando las lupo, esas Aun flotan porque Dios es grande.

Sana nga po eh pero may chance po kasi 6 palang nabibiling opv ng philippine navy sa so need pa ng 12 opv kasi 18 opv ang nasa Philippine navy desired forced mix

Marami ng OPV ang Pilipinas, mas kelangan natin ng corvette at frigate. Pero sa characteristics ng ship na ito, masasabing pwede syang i-classified as corvette.

Buat bakamla cocok nih, copot rudalnya dan pertahankan tempatnya. Cuma tinggalin meriamnya aja, wahhh ditempatin di natuna bikin ketar ketir si ono 😅😅😅

Sekilas mirip KRI Martadinata class

Tinggal bubarin aja PT. PAL, galangannya dibeli Fincantieri

not just a corvette, but a heavy armed frigate
