corvette

I assume I'm not the only one that has noticed the growing trend of utilizing inverted bows on large surface combatants that's emerging currently. As far as I am aware the Zumwalt-Class kickstarted the trend in the 21st century at least, with the French FDI following and Germany and Korea...

An idea I had for the USN to help get the ship numbers we want. A small surface combatant, maybe 2000-2500tons It would be build around the idea that during crisis/conflict they can have mk70s or other containerized modules strapped on amidships. Their regular armament would be simple, and no...

Althought intrestingly unique vessels and pride of our naval building capacities, the Turunmaa class Gunboat (or corvette in more international sense) never attracted any foreing sales, as didn't anything else we tried to market. Some proposals do have appeared, mostly just with different...

A few years ago when researching the photo archive of Kon. Mij. De Schelde succeeded by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding I traced the next dia's, probably part of a lecture although without technical details

In 1990 Racal Marine teamed up with the China Shipbuilding Trading Company to offer a modernised Type 037 Hainan-class hull as a corvette with Racal radars (obviously!), European guns and A/S torpedoes and Chinese C-801 SSMs. There were no takers.

Discussion about German corvettes seems to have been popular lately so I'm sharing this Swedish project which I found in Jane's 1972-73. The design was to be a flotilla leader for MTBs or FACs as well as escorts for the remaining destroyer fleet that was then still active. Two were to be built...

Just bought the 1968/9 and 1969/70 Jane's Fighting Ships and found two interesting West German naval projects which were planned for the 1970s but were different from the final vessels. The first is for 16 missile equipped fast patrol boats. These would carry the Tartar missile system in...

Somes views of US Warships Design of 2000's period 1). US corvette (probably a much Improved Saar V, proposal for Israel...) 2). US Fast attack craf (maybe a proposal for saudi arabia, ect...) Regard

In Norman Friedman's invaluable "The Postwar Naval Revolution", which I have so far read many times, now I have found yet another new information. It regards a project of a corvette from 1945. This is what Friedman says on this (in a footnote on one of the book's pages): "The 1200-ton corvette...

back in the early 1980's an alternative frigate hull design was put forwrad by a commercial ship designer, and attracted some support from BAe and other navel ship builders. The MOD ordered trails between the S90 and Type 23 (duke Class) ASW firigate. The Marime Technology Board's findins...

Hi interested in any pictures or models of larger versions of kokums Visby class corvette. Orginaly it was developed as the YS-2000 and then enlarged into the current Visby design. A follow on design was considered with Northrop Grumman as a contender to tyhe FCS, but was not selected to be...

Some projects from Le Bourget Naval 1992
