List of active ships of the Korean People's Navy

This is a List of active ships of the Korean People's Navy, the naval service of North Korea.

In late years, the production of lightly armored, but yet mobile and maneuverable small PT Torpedo Boats increased, as well as Patrol and Landing Craft used in case of National Emergency.

[1][2] Note:  Satellite images from 2007 indicate that the empty hull of a Krivak-class frigate was purchased by North Korea around 2003.

The ship was likely bought from a Russian scrap dealer, lacking any weapons or radar upon purchase.

While it was assumed that North Korea purchased the hull for scrap metal, it remains in its original state for nearly five years, and has been transported from Wonsan to Nampo Harbor.
