She does have nice lines, Armand, I agree. "She will also offer a new generation of equipment in terms of combat system, with increased capabilities such as Thales Sea Fire, the new generation four-panel fixed radar, MBDA's Aster missiles for air defense, a complete sonar suite with hull sonar and towed sonar from Thales for anti-submarine warfare. The FDI frigate has a displacement of 4500 tons, a length of 121 meters and a width of 17.7 meters. Its maximum speed is 27 knots and it has an autonomy of 45 days with operational availability of 3500 hours per year. The frigate can accommodate 125 men and women + 28 passengers and will be able to carry at the same time a helicopter (capacity of 10 t, the actual helicopter will weigh 5t) and an Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), developed as part of the SDAM program with Airbus Helicopters." So, aiming for a baby Aegis hull? Dunno about 3500hours/year availability, that's not quite 21 weeks. The USN used to build for 9-month deployments. |
