Steel-cutting for the first HDC-3100 Corvette could commence within the coming weeks. "CDR is almost done. First steel cutting of 1st corvette may happen in a few weeks."
The CDR (Contract Data Requirement) is considered the "shipbuilder's bible" while the ships are being built. The DND signed a PHP28-billion contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries for the acquisition of two brand-new corvettes for the PN, which are capable of anti-ship, anti-submarine, and anti-air warfare missions.
South Korea will deliver the first batch of the Corvette and of the Offshore Patrol Vessels to the Philippines by 2025, according to Hyundai Heavy Industries.
