The are small warships mainly designed for coastal anti-submarine defence, but are also available for high sea escort missions (notably in support missions with the
FOST ). Built on a simple and robust design, they have an economical and reliable propulsion system which allows them to be used for overseas presence missions.
A total of 17 ships of this class were built and named after the heroes of the
Second World War . Eight of these ships have since been decommissioned and six of them were sold to the
Turkish Navy where they were redesignated as the
B Class corvette.

The
Argentine Navy also operates three ''D'Estienne D'Orves''-class ships, locally known as the
''Drummond'' -class corvettes. The first two ships were originally ordered by the
South African Navy , but due to
UN sanctions to
South Africa they were not delivered and were bought by the Argentine Navy in
1978 . The third ship of the class was ordered by Argentina and was delivered in
1981 .
