we need those kind of platform to provide OTHT capability, P-8 may involved on directing and guiding the neptune missile to it's target.

Our CN235 MPA has link y attached on it though and several times during latgab act as otht guidance platform for the navy warships when launching their Missiles

I don't know if the Neptune command launch units already Got link Y or Link 16 system to provide continuous data exchange from either Global Hawk or Poseidon. Of course there is a long time absen of Neptune during the conflict, in which quite enough of time to install some new equipment and do some necessary debugging....

"USS Vicksburg (Ticonderoga-class cruiser) is currently undergoing a modernization program costing at least $175 million on a contract that was awarded just two years ago. Yet the 31-year-old vessel is one of five Ticonderoga class guided-missile cruisers the Navy is planning to dispose of in Fiscal Year 2023."

Will USS Vicksburg be worth to get through EDA to satisfy MoD hunger for destroyer, or is it simply too old for us (commissioned 1992)?

Indonesian Navy operated a bunch of 1980's Warships or more older, several of them just recently going refit like Fatahillah class and slated to service for at least decade more, meanwhile the sixty years old of Van Speijk class looking like grandpa and son compared to Vicksburg

Ticon's ? Explain how are we going to fill the magazine.

122 is a lot of magazine. And it's MK41 which doesn't match with many in the navy missile arsenal.

Sorry, I don't get what you say. You're against it?

We talked a lot about Sejong class to fulfill the MoD aspiration towards having destroyers here. CMIIW, but Sejong actually has more VLS than Ticons.

Another thing is (always) the cost. Sejong will cost us close to $1 bil per ship. Second hand Ticons EDA would probably cost us $200-$300 mil (modernization cost). So we could probably get 3 second hand Ticons for 1 Sejong.

For USS Vicksburg the modernization is already on-going. It means faster delivery time as well.

I am once here to say, annual maintenance (including operation and such) cost of a single Ticonderoga (received as - is with full equipment and capabilities) could be well above maintenance cost of the total fleet TNI, at the moment.

Yet alone; the keeping the VLS cells filled, is something that even major European Navys struggle to do.

Personally imo, the best option for TNI AL surface combatants is ships in the range of 4500-6000 tons, with common CMS (Tacticos), 24-32 VLS (if no quadpack missile), 8-16 (If quadpack able) + 8 canister launched SSM.

Above that, I question if the navy could afford. Having so many VLS packed inside a ship a the size of Ticons meant if one got sunk, the navy lost a huge share missile magazine with the ship. Just like how the Black Sea fleet lost almost half their air defence magazine with the loss of Moskva.

Navy should find the right balance.

Another thing is (always) the cost. Sejong will cost us close to $1 bil per ship. Second hand Ticons EDA would probably cost us $200-$300 mil (modernization cost). So we could probably get 3 second hand Ticons for 1 Sejong.

For USS Vicksburg the modernization is already on-going. It means faster delivery time as well.

1.3 Bil better buy more OPV or frigate the size of 10514. it's like $220mil per ship. Or even better, stockpile munitions . A ship is only as good as the weapons it carried. Multiple instance where we have good ships but no missile like in the case of the Bung Tomo class.

Ticonderoga's are old, its loadout are not compatible with the navy arsenal, it's operating cost are even a worse headache.

Not to mention adopting Ticoderoga's meant we're adding more CMS type in the navy long list of CMS.

That's obvious to be fair.

Pretty sure the annual maintenance of the upcoming 6 FREMMS + 8 Mogamis + 2 Maestrale will cost us way above the TNI current total fleet as well.

Btw, since the MoD wish to get destroyers (plural) has been an open secret. Which option do you think suits TNI best?

Yet alone; the keeping the VLS cells filled, is something that even major European Navys struggle to do.

Since the most popular option that's been discussed in this forum is Sejong, how do you see the Koreans ability to operate three of them?

Double the navy budget first then we could talk about sejong's class type destroyer acquisition and maintenance ... else , nothing but a wet dreams in my book .
I'm a realist with a pessimistic leaning attitude ....

Ticon radar and combat system is also already dated compared to recent surface warships

Old radar ✅
Dated combat system ❌

The remaining cruiser are being updated with the Baseline 9 AEGIS combat system. The 2nd most advanced of all AEGIS CMS versions (Baseline 10. being the most advanced)

Yes, that's what the article is saying about the $175 mil modernization process (some other source $200 mil).

30% of contract value will be for local partner he said. What local company other than PT PAL that can contribute to this submarine project? We still can't produce the steel material for submarine, much less the devices/hardwares inside submarine.
Wajan, piring, gelas, sendok, panci, kompor, tempat tidur, gorden, seprei, kasur, bantal, furnitur etc. -> KAB

Finally DAHANA can make smokeless propellant. Soon Marine won't have any excuse left to reject Rhan 122.

Ok but how about the accuracy issue?
