Following the delivery ceremony which took place in December 2015 at the China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Company (CSOC)'s Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan, the two new Bangladesh Navy C13B Corvettes, BNS Shadhinota (F111) and BNS Prottoy (F112), left China and are on their way to their home base.

Bangladesh C13B-class corvette retains most of the sensor and weapon systems found on board Chinese Navy Type 056 corvettes:
» 4x C-803 (export version of YJ-83) Anti-ship missiles (2 launchers with 2 missiles each)
» 1x FL-3000N (export version of AJK-10 / HQ-10) Surface to air missile launcher (8x missiles)
» 1x H/PJ-26 76mm main gun (similar to Russian AK-176)
» 2x H/PJ-17 30mm dual mode (auto/manual) remote controlled naval turret
The Bangladesh Navy corvette however will be fitted with one Type 730 CIWS and two Type 3200 ASW rocket launchers will replace the two triple torpedo launchers
