The Sa'ar 6-class corvette is a series of four German-built  corvettes  ordered for the Israeli Navy  in May 2015.

Development
The ships' design is loosely based on the German Braunschweig class corvette, but with engineering changes to accommodate Israeli-built sensors and missiles such as the Barak 8  and the naval Iron Dome  system. Elbit Systems been awarded the contract to design and build the electronic warfare (EW) suites for the ships.
All four vessels were constructed in Germany in a joint German Naval Yards Holdings project by  and Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS). The first of the class was scheduled to be delivered in 2020. Construction cost was estimated at NIS 1.8 billion Israeli new shekel (NIS) or roughly 430 million Euro’s ($480 million).Israel will pay for two thirds of the cost and the German Government will subsidize a third of the corvettes' construction costs, as with the Dolphin class submarine.
Missions
The Lebanese Hezbollah  group alleges that Israel's gas fields lie in Lebanese waters. It has threatened to target Israeli gas platforms. An Israeli-owned ship reportedly came under missile fire repeatedly near the United Arab Emirates. The ship was en route to the UAE from Kuwait, according to Channel 12 news.
The Sa'ar 6 has been adopted for maritime protection, anti-shipping and prevent threats in the Israeli exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The Sa'ar 6 is also used to defend Israeli shipping lanes in the Mediterranean to import more than 90 percent of goods for Israel. One of their roles will be to protect natural gas platforms in the Mediterranean Sea against possible seaborne terrorism attacks or rocket threats.

Characteristics
The Sa'ar 6 has a displacement of almost 1,900 tons at full load and is 90 m (295 ft 3 in) long. It is armed with an Oto Melara main 76 mm gun ,main gun, two Typhoon Weapen Stations, 16 vertical launch cells for Barak 8 surface to air missles, 40 cells for the C. Dome  point defense system, 16  anti ship missilers Gabriel Vanti ship missiles the EL/M-2248 MF STAR , and two 324 mm (12.8 in) torpedo launchers. It has hanger space and a platform able to accommodate a medium class SH 69 SH-60 helicopter.
Israel received the first of four Sa'ar 6-class corvettes, INS MAGEN , on 11 December 2018  Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems officially handed over the second corvette, INZ OS, on 4 May 2021. On July 27, 2021, the final two ships, INS ATZMAUT and INS NITZAHON , were also delivered to the Israeli Navy by the builder. They were to be equipped with radar and weapon systems by the Israeli Navy after their arrival in Israel. In Haifa  in September 2022, the vessel's 76/62 rapid-fire main gun was ceremonially accepted for the first two ships of the class.
