The Sin Hung-class torpedo boat is a class of torpedo boats in service with the Korean People's Navy.^[1] The class is based on the same hull as the Sin Hung-class hydrofoil torpedo boat, and Sin Hung-class patrol boat.^[2]

The Sin Hung-class torpedo boats stopped being produced in 1983. The Korean People's Navy has at least 120 of them.^[2]

The Sin Hung class are 19.8 metres (65.0 ft) long, with a beam of 3.4 metres (11.2 ft) and a draught of 1.7 metres (5.6 ft). They displace 25 t full load.^[3] Two diesel engines rated at 2,400 brake horsepower (1,800 kW) each propel the boats, giving a speed of 40 knots (74 km/h).^[4][5] The normal armament consists of two 450-millimetre (18 in) torpedo tubes, although some ships carry 533-millimetre (21 in) torpedo tubes instead, with a gun armament of two twin 14.5 millimetres (0.57 in) machine guns.^[4][1]

During a naval drill off Nampo by the Korean People's Navy on October 5, 2016, five Sin Hung-class torpedo boats were part of the 80 some training fleet.^[1]
