Pohjanmaa-class corvette

The Pohjanmaa-class corvette is a class of surface combatants currently under development for the Finnish Navy as part of the Squadron 2020 (Laivue 2020) project. Together with the existing four s, the four new corvettes will form the backbone of the Finnish Navy from the mid-2020s onwards by replacing seven older vessels that have been or are due to be decommissioned: the minelayer FINNISH MINELAYER Pohjanmaa, two s and four s.

The development of the Pohjanmaa class started in 2015 and construction is scheduled to begin in 2019. The last of the four vessels is expected to achieve full operational status by 2027.
