In September 2012, the Colombian Navy requested transfer of decommissioned corvette. The Pohang-class ROKS Gunsan was offered by the Republic of Korea Navy, but the Colombian Navy chose ROKS Anyang after the inspection. Formal contract for transfer was signed on 23 July 2013. In October, the ship began the refurbishment for 9 months. The main armament, OTO Melara 76 mm/62 cannon, was removed for additional twin Bofors 40 mm L/60K. The training of crew began in April 2014 at South Korea. On 30 July, the ceremony for first voyage was held, and the ship sailed off to Colombia.
