The Kılıç class is one of the fast attack craft / missile boat classes of the Turkish Navy. It is defined as a corvette by Lürssen Werft, the German designer of the vessel.

The ship has a specially developed superstructure & mast for low radar cross-section. It is suitable for operating in the open seas and under bad weather conditions, with the ability to cruise at speeds of up to {{convert|24|kn|km/h|0}} in Sea State 5.

The first batch of three ships are designated Kılıç I, and the second batch of six ships are designated Kılıç II.

P-330 Kılıç was built in Germany, and the other ships of the class were built in Turkey.
