Eight Mark 41 cells are described as carrying 32 quad-packed ESSMs. Anti-submarine torpedoes add another form of protection and combat capability. The main gun is a Bofors 57 mm system, accompanied by eight Gabriel V anti-ship missiles. Rails provide capacity for 100 mines. This fit suits the combined combat and minelaying duties expected of the class. The small VLS count receives a more forgiving assessment because the ships are being judged as corvettes for a specific regional role.
