Search for "Malek Matabbor Road" from that pic in GE: it is Malek Matabbor Road, NamaPara, Dhaka 1229, Bangladesh. Lattitude 23.832292592° x Longitude 90.435324805°

On closer examination via GE, I would say it is an Britten Norman BN2 Islander. See attached view from approx 44m above ground.

The Islander is 35 ft 8 in (10.86 m) long and has a wingspan of 49 ft (14.94 m)

Come again? I didn't get your question.

I mean how many countries does obey to Armada Inc.'s classifications? And how many countries does obey to NSC (nato shipping centre) when it comes to ship classification ? :)

(example: 1800t is a Destroyer in Iran, while 2300t is a Corvette in Turkey)

It is not whether countries obey one classification or another. I've given 2 classification ref's that stem from within the professional defence analysis community. I've looked at the NSC website and haven't found any warship classification scene: if available online please point out link/url.

The Iran example actually is example of (acidental or intentional) incorrect pick up of a USN term Destroyer Escort, which is equivalent to RN term Frigate, which is what the Vosper mk 5/SAAM/Alvand were first called (they actually had DE ## as their painted hull pennent number).

Milgem / Ada class is actually a light frigate, as is exemplified by the reference to the slightly heavier armed TF-100 class as frigate. TF-100 will feature a slightly larger hull and will be equipped with an 8-cekk Mk.41 VLS along with other systems for improved multi-role combat capabilities. Much like the 2,500t Indian P-28 ASW corvettes (Kamorta-class), but more general purpose in role.

The Dutch Doorman class / M-frigate is 2,800 tons standard; 3,320 tons full load. It replaced the older but larger Kortenaer class / S-frigate (Displacement: 3,600 t standard, 3,900 t full load). Yet, definitely a frigate. Which in turn had replaced the Van Speijk class frigates which displaced only 2,200 tons standard, 2,850 tons full load (and still serve Indonesia). Van Speijks replaced some of the Holland and Friesland class destroyers, respectively 2,185 t standard / 2,642 t full load and 2,497t standard/3,070 t full load.

The Tromp class AAW/Command frigate displaced 3,724 t standard, (4,377 t) full load and the Kortenaer based Heemskerck class / AAW L-frigate of 3000 tons standard / 3,750 tons full load) were replaced by the 6,050 t (full load) Zeven Provincien class AAW/Command 'frigate'.

Oh!! It looks so great! The AMI report says BD will build another 25 units of this boat. Not only this, AMI also says the country is also to produce 2 stealth Corvettes, 110m long type 056 with two Helipads, with Chinese technical collaboration. So, a Destroyer is not far away to be built in our own shipyard, albeit, with Chinese help.
