The Anawrahta class corvette is a class of corvettes operated by the Myanmar Navy. The UMS Anawrahta (771) was commissioned in 2001. The ship was built locally with Chinese assistance. The Anawrahta class corvette is equipped with various electronic suites and weaponry systems from China, Israel and Russia.[5][6] The lead ship of the class is named after King Anawrahta, the founder of the Pagan Empire of Myanmar (Burma).[2]
The second ship, 772, named after King Bayinnaung, was commissioned in 2003.[5] The Myanmar Navy launched another stealth corvette UMS Tabinshwehti (773) in November 2014.[7][note 1]
