This might be of interest too,for a possible replacement(when time comes,for the Victoria's),as known,there are a few Navies in NATO that require a sub(DE)which can be deployed "worldwide",and the Dutch Navy is one of them(3)besides,Canada and Australia. ;)

exciting news for us the proposed design from Damen/Saab has been revealed,for the Walrus replacement. 8) Saab-Damen presents design of the replacement Walrus-class class submarine http://nlnavy.damen.com/saab-damen-presents-design-replacement-walrus-class-submarine/

The latest rendering and possibly the final one for the new ASW frigates(look very nice)Budget for these(for now 2 for The Netherlands and 2 for Belgium with option for 2 more for The Netherlands) is about 2-2.5 billion. The strange thing offcourse is that Belgium has budgetted about 1.5...

Thales Goalkeeper Passes Sea Acceptance Trials Following Upgrade The first Goalkeeper Close-In Weapon System of the Royal Netherlands Navy equipped with the Upkeep modifications contracted in 2012, was subjected to the Sea Acceptance Trials (SAT) and passed all tests with flying colours. The...

I am convinced(well from what i read from the City-Class)that it will be an excellent warship,but as said before there's no proof of that yet,we can only go on what BAE says it can possibly do.Plus the fact that i'm curious as what one "copy" will cost after the Canadians are ready "Canadizing"...

Hi Calculus,it seems you're right about the miles and nautical miles,sorry for that.the number i can find so far is indeed 4000NM,but will ask on the Dutch Defense Forum to be sure. here's another detailed piece about the DZP-class.(there is another but taht's in dutch,i can read it,but not...

What do you mean ,Whiskey?Range is 5000 NM at 18 Kn,if different at fullfull,doubt it,well,all the other numbers(T-26,F100 etc)are also not correct. Is there a difference?i wouldn't know to be fair.

To be fair,DZP has a range of about 5000NM at 18 Kn https://www.naval-technology.com/projects/dezeven/

merry Xmas Mike to you the .Ca team and offcourse your beloved ones. And offcourse the same for all the visitors and members on here.

To answer your question about the nr 8,it's this:(Original LCF design) Half of the ECM emitter array. On the starboard side of the hangar is the other set of emitters.(a bit late i know,sorry for that)

if they use the same or simular output it will be 30 knots max(at least that's what the LCF/DZP is capable of.(If you're talking about the Alion bid.)

And today(well yesterday) was the day for the 1st Smart-L MMN to be delivered to the DMO(Defence Material Organisation)for the DZP class. Thales delivered the first SMART-L MM/N radar to the Defence Materiel Organisation. This milestone marks an important moment in time, where we continue to...

For the canon part,euhm no we bought your 127mm to place them on the DZP.Witch will be replaced for 127mm vulcano shortly,due to a lot of problems with them(they're are just old)We wanted to buy cheap and now have to buy new ones(typical Dutch)so now it will cost us more then  if we bought new...

Not Canadian,but from what i understand it will be a combination of both. So a number of AAW/Command frigates and ASW/GP orientated frigates.(Same as here in the Netherlands and offcourse many others) That means for example that a number of ships will get the APAR2 and Smart-L MMN...

So i have an artist impression (Damen)of the new class of ASW/GP frigates together with the new MCM vessels to be built in the next years.(Damen's idea of how these ships could look like) <a href="https://ibb.co/mJ9MLG"><img src="https://image.ibb.co/iTPAEb/v_MFF_en_v_MCM.jpg"...

Not a Navy man myself,i think there's another option,if i may call it that.  ;D For the AAW version stick to APAR2 and the Smart-L MMN combo(BMD capable,as shown in exercises)and for the GP/ASW version get the I-500 integrated mast,like we are going to get on our replacements for the...

the "self defence " missiles will probably be nsm's,that's what i heared.As for the total number of missiles,i will ask,1 moment.As i got it the total will be 32 missiles.

Yeah sorry i did use US currency,but for number of missiles it's 8x4x2(corrected that in my previous post,thanks to you mentioning that) so in total something like 64 missiles(in front and aft/mid)from what i've heared the ships will come in at about 700 million euros.(buying price)so yeah about...

Still OGBD those are ridiculous prices for such ships,to give an example the new vMFF(replacement M-class)which will be a pure ASW/GP frigate will be in the region of about 600-800 million from what i've heard,those are more "realistic"prices,not "driven up" prices by Government or a...

"CODOG propulsion system and engines The ship’s combined diesel or gas (CODOG) propulsion system has two independent propulsion lines. The two Rolls-Royce Spey SM1C gas turbine engines each provide 18.5MW. Two cruise diesel engines, Stork-Wartsila 16 V26, provide 8.4MW. The two gearboxes are...
