		These 1400-tonne corvettes are a wholly indigenous design prepared by the Navy’s design organisation in the early 1980s to replace the 10 Petya II class corvettes transferred from the former Soviet Union between 1969 and 1974.
		As in the P25 Class, other armament consists of a single AK-176 76.2mm gun (85º elevation and fires upto 120 rounds per minute to 15 km), two AK-630 30mm six barelled gatling guns (85º elevation and fires upto 3000 rounds per minute to 2 km) which are employed in the close-in-weapon system (CIWS) role.

		The USN doesn't use corvettes anymore because they are used in coastal defense.
		Modern corvettes are usually smaller than frigates (really little more than large speedboats in some cases), and the traditional DDC designation used before the invention of the Destroyer would not apply.
		I guess it really depends on your definition of the Corvette displacement class, whether it is the classic high-speed attack ship or the modern light patrol craft.

		The Magar Class Amphibious Warfare vessel and the LST-L vessels being built has space for 2 helicopters each, but I imagine that the second one should be a smaller helo like the Dhruv or the Chetak for recce and CASEVAC roles.
		While we have 13 of the Veer Class vessels, we have only 4 of the Khukri Class, so the IN may be willing to spare the latter more for such a role.
		However, equipment will still have to be transported by the mother of LST-L. The LPD of the Austin Class seems to be the answer for India, because it can carry 4 LST-L equivalent, each capable to carrying 1 MBT.
