Burak-class corvette (Turkish: Burak sınıfı korvet), also known as the B-class corvette, is a warship class of the Turkish Navy, all ex- A69 type aviso corvettes, mainly designed for coastal anti-submarine defense & ocean escort missions. Their robust design & economical propulsion system allows them to be used for distant overseas operations.
A total of six ships under the Burak-class are being operated by the Turkish Naval Forces and will be phased out with introduction of Ada-class corvettes.
