The Asheville is a class of small military ship that was originally built by the United States for the Cuban Missile Crisis and have since been transferred to the Greek, Turkish, Columbian and South Korean navies.

Both ships were in reserve from April 1977 before being refitted and transferred. The gas-turbine propulsion engine were removed prior to transfer and the ships were reclassified as coastal patrol craft.
