佈雷艇亦稱為佈雷艦,是一種用來設置水雷軍艦。佈雷艇的噸位不一,有的只有幾百噸。而有的則和驅逐艦大小相當。在第二次世界大戰中,英國海軍的大型佈雷艇也作為運輸艦使用。因佈雷任務可以經由別的艦種兼任完成,所以佈雷艦逐漸被淘汰。

corvette is a small warship. It is traditionally the smallest class of vessel considered to be a proper (or "rated") warship. The warship class above the corvette is that of the frigate, while the class below was historically that of the sloop-of-war.

護衛艦英語:corvette)是噸位高於巡邏艦,小於巡防艦,搭載輕武裝的艦艇,等級上是屬沿岸海域(綠水海軍)的中型艦艇,近代海軍中多半是排水量1千至2千噸的水準,偶爾會有超過2500噸的特例。蘇軍與解放軍則將其與巡防艦一起稱呼之。日本也因為特殊的國防定位,所有的船艦都屬護衛艦的稱號。
