The ship doing the detecting, helos doing the hunting, no?
An extra capability like this wouldn't hurt, now would it? Engagements are unpredictable, who knows.Did You mean Variable Towed Array Sonar or Dipping Sonar?
I just thought OPV job is for patrol and scuring ZEE, not to hunt and enggage submarine
Now that's something I wanna seeJust go with the wind, someone is just put a more larger and advanced design OPV proposal literally they can outgunned and outweight most of the heavily armed Frigates in the region (that's including Singapore Formidable) and still had the gall to put it under advanced OPV programme
Well OPV is more about the mission not the ship size it self.Just go with the wind, someone is just put a more larger and advanced design OPV proposal literally they can outgunned and outweight most of the heavily armed Frigates in the region (that's including Singapore Formidable) and still had the gall to put it under advanced OPV programme
Why still call it OPV then?Just go with the wind, someone is just put a more larger and advanced design OPV proposal literally they can outgunned and outweight most of the heavily armed Frigates in the region (that's including Singapore Formidable) and still had the gall to put it under advanced OPV programme

Like Italian "OPV" Thaon D RevellJust go with the wind, someone is just put a more larger and advanced design OPV proposal literally they can outgunned and outweight most of the heavily armed Frigates in the region (that's including Singapore Formidable) and still had the gall to put it under advanced OPV programme
The bridge looks like ada class.i guess this is the new OPV trend

More pleasant in the ear, less intimidating and easy to get financing from foreign lender

Based on the article one of the opv doesnt have heli hangarIndonesian Shipyard Cuts Steel on New OPVs for TNI AL - Naval News
Indonesian shipbuilder DRU Shipyards (PT Daya Radar Utama DRU) cut steel for two new Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) for the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL). The ceremony took place on 26 August 2021 in Lampung (island of Sumatra).
I was wondering if perhaps TNI might consider opting for VTOL UAV for the vessel, maybe it doesn't need as much space when it's an UAV. But I'm just guessing here
Is that 10.000 plus tonnes chinese CG?
