whats the difference between a corvette and a frigate .... considering pak has has frigates and not corvettes


i know countries with strong navies have corvettes but if pakistan obtained them , would it actually change the naval power of pakistan more then if it got another frigate?

corvettes are smaller than a typical frigate.
they are best for coastal defence as they are faster and more manueverable than other warships.

corvettes are lightly armed compare to frigates and destroyers so i dont think it would make much of a difference....

USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC 167) - Ship Information

A second world war ship.

As the majority of Acushnet's patrols became Alaska Patrols, she moved in in 1998 to Ketchikan, Alaska where she is employed in law enforcement, fisheries, and search and rescue in Alaska. This considerably shortened her transit time to the Bering Sea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Acushnet_(WMEC-167)

While both sister ships have been decommissioned, ACUSHNET continues to serve as a medium endurance cutter in the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. Previous plans would have brought all of the 213ft class cutters out of service by the mid-1990s, but Coast Guard policy reviews continue to extend the service-life of ACUSHNET as suitable replacements have not been identified to meet the demanding operating environment. ACUSHNET changed homeport to Ketchikan, Alaska in 1998 where she primarily patrols the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Her primary missions include search and rescue, homeland security, maritime law enforcement, and environmental protection.

USCGC ACUSHNET (WMEC 167) - History

Originally a Diver class rescue and salvage ship, she was also used for minesweeping in WW2. Upon transfer to USCG conducted a broad range of missions including: search and rescue, counter-drug operations, fisheries enforcement, migrant interdiction, homelands security and oceanography. Decommed fri. march 11 2011. Auctioned off by US GSA (General Services Administration).
