patrol vessel

View: https://youtu.be/SSF40fBj1hs So, an arctic patrol ship (think Greenland), 120 m long, produced by a Danish consortium. Recently (much) accelerated build-up funding being put to (good) use. Interesting to compare this to all the other contemporary ice capable warships...

Gonna park this in the Bar for now, if there's a better spot the mods can move it. I'm looking for a good book on PT boat operations in WW2, and a separate book about Swift Boats in Vietnam (I doubt there's one book that covers both). Anyone got some suggestions? Books written by PT or Swift...

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/09/japan-coast-guard-will-build-the-biggest-patrol-vessel-in-its-history/ Well a coast gard cutter arms race wasn't on my bingo card but here we are. To put this in perspective the current largest coast gard vessel is the Zhaotou-class patrol cutter at...

My working hypothesis is that the first two letters define the numbering series, and subsequent ones modify the first two. This is broken by DDGs and FFGs not falling into the DD and FF sequences, but otherwise it holds up reasonably well. Within submarines, there were the short-lived SC, SF...

A few months ago, I posted a thread on a briefing with several more or less obscure frigate concepts for the USN. One of the designs included in that brief is the PXM, which I described at the time as a rabbit hole. This thread is my attempt to chase that rabbit as far as I can go, starting from...

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...

I have heard mention recently that the MCDVs may be next up for replacing Now I have perhaps seen one or two mentions in the media of this but not much beyond that the Navy would like them to be capable of 25 knots. And that's about it . I don't suppose anyone else has come across anything...

Again, NHHC was big on these. Apologies for smallish size. I'll upload them to my site eventually.

Hello :), have you heard of the "Zerlegbares Polizei-Kampfboot ( ZPK )"? It was built in three sections and could be dismounted easily. Apparently some were built, but other versions weren`t. Please see all versions proposed at...

A design circa 1984. A 750 ton catamaran patrol ship from BAZAN which never purchased the Armada Española (Spanish Navy). Projected max speed: 50 knots Dimensions: 50m x 20 m x 5 m The armed ultralights are just atrezzo. (The idea of fighting ultra-light was very popular on those days)

I've asked the helpful folks over at Warship Disscussion 3.0 about this and despite much searching no-one could find any references, not even from Friedman's US books. Reading Norman Friedman's 'British Carrier Aviation' he mentions the American Patrol Escort (PE) idea of the 1950s. Basically...
