The Inyang-class frigate is a class of light frigates operated by the Metzettan Imperial Navy. The ships are built by Joseonga Heavy Industries and have a top speed of 34 knots. Nine ships in the class were ordered for use by Metzetta, while slight variants were completed for naval forces of other nations. The Metzettan ships were named after Metzettan cities. The class was succeeded by the Jinju-class frigate, but several ships remain in service.
