The Tavoka-class frigate is a Zamastanian multi-role stealth frigate operating in the Zamastanian Naval Forces. The frigates mainly perform anti-submarine warfare for carrier and expeditionary strike groups and provide armed escort for supply convoys and merchant shipping. They are designed to protect friendly ships against hostile submarines in low to medium threat environments, using torpedoes and helicopters. Independently, frigates are able to conduct counterdrug missions and other maritime interception operations.
