Al Zubarah-class corvette

The Al Zubarah class, also called the Doha class, is a group of four multi-role corvettes built by the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the Qatari Emiri Navy. Qatar awarded the contract in June 2016 as part of a larger package that also covered a landing platform dock and patrol vessels. The ships are about 107 metres long and 14.7 metres wide, use a combined diesel and diesel arrangement, and carry a crew of about 112. They are designed mainly for air defence, with sixteen Aster 30 missiles, Rolling Airframe Missiles and a 76 mm gun, and they can operate a helicopter of NH90 size. Deliveries ran from 2021 to 2023, and in 2023 Fincantieri offered Greece a derivative called the FCx30.
