Answer:

PLEASE

Step-by-step explanation:

A corvette is a small warship. ... The word "corvette" is first found in Middle French, a diminutive of the Dutch word corf, meaning a "basket", from the Latin corbis. The rank "corvette captain", equivalent in many navies to "lieutenant commander", derives from the name of this type of ship.
