if we just consider its full load displacement which is 1700 tones, TCSG YAŞAM is a corvette...

According to ME standarts :lol: its a destroyer!

For Turkish navy it is a COAST GUARD SEARCH AND RESCUE SHIP :devil:

Irani navy would probably name it a frigate or a destroyer :P anyway apart from usual 40mm twin gun and STAMPs shes almost a civilian vessel :)

But I have to say even this kind of firepower is enough for the coast guard as they work as a law enforcement force. I'm sure they'll LOVE it or... already loving it
 
already posted but still just as a reminder... here is RMK THE CORVETTE PROJECT which has almost the same design features with Coast Guard Search and Rescue vessel

It's a very nice ship, but if it's doing all the things listed, I hope it can do them well.
