In the early 1980s, the Israeli Navy awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (formerly Litton Ingalls Shipbuilding) to supply three Sa'ar 5 (Saar) Class corvettes for the Israeli Navy. The first of class, INS Eilat, was launched in February 1993, followed by INS Lahav in August 1993 and INS Hanit in March 1994.
早在1980年，以色列海军颁发一个合同给诺斯罗普·格鲁门（Northrop Grumman）船舶系统 （以前的Litton Ingalls造船业）公司，为以色列海军提供三艘埃拉特级Saar 5型多任务轻护卫舰（Eilat Class Saar 5 multi-mission corvettes）。第一艘，INS Eilat，在1993 年2月下水，后继两艘分别在1993年8月INS Lahav 和在1994年3月INS Hanit完工下水。

 

Command and Control
指挥和控制

 

The Unified Combat System is integrated by IAI (Israel Aircraft Industries) MBT division, with Elbit (combat data systems) and Tadiran (communications systems) as major subcontractors. The ship's combat system provides multiple offensive and defensive capabilities.

Missiles
导弹

Weaponry includes 130km-range Harpoon missiles.
武器包括 130 km- 射程鱼叉导弹。

 

Barak 
巴拉克（Barak）防空导弹
 

The ship's anti-air capability is based on the Barak missile system developed by IAI and Rafael. Two 32-cell vertical launch systems are installed on the raised gun deck at the bow of the ship. The range of the Barak missile is 10km and it is armed with a 22kg warhead. It also has an anti-surface target capability.

Harpoons
鱼叉反舰导弹
 

The ship has two four-cell Boeing Harpoon missile launchers. The Harpoon surface-to-surface missile has a range of up to 130km. The speed is high subsonic and the warhead weighs 227kg. 
埃拉特级装载四单元波音鱼叉导弹发射装置。鱼叉舰对舰导弹射程最大达130 km。高亚音速和弹头重量227 kg。
 

The Harpoon is a subsonic, sea skimming guided missile utilizing active radar guidance. Warhead design and low-level sea-skimming cruise trajectory assure high survivability and effectiveness. The missile is capable of striking surface targets at a maximum range of 130 kilometers (60 nautical mites). Harpoons are deployed on Israeli Navy surface ships and submarines. Ships are usually equipped with two batteries of four container/launchers each. 

鱼叉是亚音速，掠海攻击制导导弹利用有效的雷达引导。弹头设计和低水平面掠海巡航轨迹保证高生存性和有效性。导弹能够有效攻击在130公里的最大范围内显著的水面目标(60 nautical mites)。美制鱼叉反舰导弹广泛在以色列海军水面舰船和潜艇上配置。舰艇通常整装二套每套四枚集装箱体式/ 发射装置。

The 4.57 meters long missile weighs 520kg, (628kg before launch) and is powered by a Teledyne Turbojet generating 660 pounds of thrust. Upon launch, the missile is boosted to cruise speed by a solid propellant booster. In mid course the missile flight is controlled by an altimeter and inertial guidance system. At a preplanned point, the missile's radar is activated and searches for the target. When the target is detected, the missile uses its own radar for guidance terminal homing. With a high impact velocity the missile's blast fragmentation charge uses delayed action to penetrate the target's hull and inflict maximum damage.
4.57米长的导弹重量520 kg(在开始发射前 628 kg)，而且由一个Teledyne涡轮喷气发动机产生 660 磅推力。在开始，导弹被一个固体推进剂助推器推进到巡航速度。在中段进程中，导弹飞行被一个高度计和惯性引导系统控制。在一个被预先计划的点，导弹的雷达被启动并且寻找目标。当目标被发现的时候，导弹使用它自己的雷达用于引导未端自导引。用高冲击速度导弹的爆炸碎片装料使用延迟作用穿透目标的船体而且造成最大的损伤。
