The Elli class frigates are of Dutch origin and are also known as Kortenaer-class or Standard-class or S-class frigates. The first two ships (Elli and Limnos), which have lengthened hangars and different armament were built specifically for the Hellenic Navy.
The remaining ships are ex-Royal Netherlands Navy S-frigates of the Kortenaer class transferred to the Hellenic Navy in the 1990s and early 2000s.

There was a mid life modernization programme for six of the ten Greek ships which started in 2004 and was completed in 2009. The program was performed at Hellenic Shipyards and the upgraded frigates were the following: Kountouriotis (F 462), Adrias (F 459), Navarinon (F 461), Limnos (F 451), Elli (F 450), and Aegaeon (F 460).

The main modernization work included the following:
Replacement of the combat management system with the Thales TACTICOS
Installation of new sensors, like the Thales Mirador electro-optical target tracker
Installation of Thales Scout MkII LPI navigation radar
Overhaul and improvement of radars (WM25 and LW08 long range air-search radar)
Installation of EDO CS-3701 ESM system
Replacement of navigation systems and upgrade of communications systems
Replacement of propulsion control system and of defined platform systems
