…Patrol Vessel (SGPV) "The Royal Malaysian Navy Second Generation Patrol Vessel (SGPV), also referred to as Littoral combat ships (LCS) are a class of six stealth frigates currently being built in Malaysia by Boustead (BHIC) based on DCNS Gowind 2500 design. Construction of the first vessel of the class started at the end of 2014 with a delivery expected for 2017 or 2018. Based on a corvette design, the Gowind LCS are considered frigates because of their increase size and displacement and will bring a significant capability step to the Royal Malaysian Navy…"

good looking boat-where are the teeth? - 57mm gun in a stealth turret forward (the barrel is inside when not firing) - 8x SAMs in a VLS unit just aft of the 57mm gun - 2x 4-packs of anti-ship missiles amidships - 2x torpedo launchers just aft of the small-boat doors amidships (also aft of the ASMs) - 2x 30mm remote weapons on top of the hangar, aft Bofors claims that the 57mm can get more rounds on target by weight than any gun smaller than a 100mm. So it's better armed than a USN LCS, almost as well-armed as a fully-kitted FFG7. The OHP-class has a larger missile capacity (40 birds, split between Harpoons and SM1s) with the Mk13 single-arm launcher, but the Gowind-class has a much better one-time throw weight due to the external 2x4 missile tubes. It's also comparable to the Israeli Saar-5 class corvettes, assuming that Bofors' claim about the 57mm is true. |
