Zitat:Bulgaria’s First Modern Corvette Launched By Local Shipyardhttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...-shipyard/
The lead ship of the two 2,300 ton MMPV 90 corvettes for the Bulgarian Navy was launched at the MTG Dolphin Shipyard in Varna by order from and in cooperation with the German shipbuilder NVL Group. [...]
The name of the new vessel will be “Hrabri”, meaning “Brave” in Bulgarian. It is a proud inheritor of the Bulgarian Navy’s torpedo boat of the same name from the beginning of 20th century. The second ship will be named “Smeli“. The vessels, which are about 90 meters long (hence the designation MMPV 90) and with a beam of 13.5 meters, are being built under a contract signed with Germany’s NVL Group on 12 November 2020 valued at €420 million excluding weapon systems and ammunition.
The two vessels are being built in parallel. The cutting of the steel for the first MMPV was held on December 3, 2021 at MTG Dolphin in Varna while for the second vessel was held about a year later on December 14, 2022. The keel of the first MMPV was laid on June 17, 2022 and almost a year later, on June 22, 2023 the keel-laying of the second vessel took place. Delivery of the first vessel is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, and the second vessel a year later.
