Looks kinda big for a corvette. Or are ship classes undergoing "scale creep"? |

Looks kinda big for a corvette. Or are ship classes undergoing "scale creep"? Ships have been undergoing scale creep for some time now. WW1 German destroyers could only be 700t displacement. A WWII destroyer creeped up to 2000t displacement. A modern destroyer can be more than 6000t displacement, a light cruiser by WWII standards. Ships are designated by role, rather than displacement.

Scale creep. Corvettes are now the size of old light frigates (up to 2000 tons). Though that Russian one is still only just under 1000 tons which is actually light these days. |
