Commander of the Ukrainian Navy announced the "imminent laying" of a new corvette

The Commander of the Ukrainian Navy announced «soon bookmark» new corvette
The Commander of the Naval Forces of Ukraine shared with the subordinate plans for the future development of the Ukrainian fleet. In particular, Rear Admiral Alexei Neizhpapa touched upon the issue of building new warships. They talked about “soon bookmark” new corvette for the Ukrainian Navy.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the new academic year in the Ukrainian Navy, Mr. Neizhpapa stated, that the newest Ukrainian corvette will be laid down "in a few months".

Commander of the Ukrainian Navy:

AT 2022 year we will receive the first batch of Mark VI boats. Corvette will be laid in a few months. And we need to train personnel for this component of the fleet.
At the same time, Alexey Neizhpapa did not specify, which shipyard are going to lay the new Ukrainian warship. But I recalled, that about a month ago, an agreement was signed between Kiev and Ankara on cooperation in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles and corvettes. Ukraine expects, that the new corvette will be built on the basis of Turkish technology. These technologies can be obtained by the Ukrainian shipbuilding enterprise "Ocean". This plant is located in the Nikolaev region of Ukraine.

In recent years, the company has been forced to make ends meet due to lack of orders. Although at one time (beginning with 1951 of the year) the enterprise was one of the most developed shipyards of the USSR. Research vessels were created on it, fishing trawlers, tankers, offshore drilling rigs. After the collapse of the USSR, the plant began to decline. In this context, the question arises: whether the technical base for the construction of ships of the "corvette" type remained on the Ocean? It is difficult to give an unambiguous answer in Ukraine itself. While the company is busy with the repair of tugs and dredgers, as well as the production of structures for flyovers.
