Sa'ar 72-class corvette

The Reshef class (Hebrew: רֶשֶׁף) is a series of five multirole corvettes under construction for the Israeli Navy. The vessels are being built domestically at Israel Shipyards Ltd. in Haifa, northern Israel. The Navy officially ordered production of the vessels in 2024, with steel-cutting beginning in early 2025. The design is based on an enlarged version of Israel Shipyards' earlier Sa'ar S - 72 concept. The Reshef class is planned to replace the existing Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boats with a larger ship having double the displacement, stealth features, and improved air defence & electronic warfare systems. As part of the contract there is an option for additional orders at a later date. The design is marketed for export as the Sa'ar S - 80.
