The RN Folaga (C 16) entered service on 16 February 1943 and operated with the Squadriglia Corvette, 7° Gruppo AS. under the Regia Marina. Before the Italian armistice, the RN Folaga escorted convoys, performed air defence duties, and engaged enemy submarine units in the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea. After the armistice, it was used by the Italian Co-Belligerent Navy mainly in escort missions. After WW2, the RN Folaga (C 16) would be used with the 2°Gruppo Dragaggio and 5°Gruppo Dragaggio from Venice for naval mine removal operations across almost all of the Italian territorial waters. Later, it was put under works in which its armament was changed, and it was renamed to Folaga F-576 under NATO nomenclature. In 1953, it ended its service at the Commando School and was used for training activities. In 1965, the Folaga F-576 was disarmed pending decommission, due to the Decree of the President of the Republic dated 1st August 1965.

Introduced in Update "Fire and Ice", Folaga is an excellent premium corvette to research the Italian coastal tech tree. Thanks to its upgraded armament with a 40 mm twin tower Bofors and the radar, you can destroy almost all the ships you meet and also enemy planes easily thanks to the radar lock that tells you how to aim. In comparison to the RN Gabbiano, the Folaga is much better only because of the 40 mm guns and radar, while top speed, manoeuvrability, torpedoes, and depth charges are equal, so they are much better to use at a distance or in areas well protected from enemy torpedoes and depth charges.
