What's new

Bangladesh Navy

In essence, it IS Talwar but with VL Shtil (which makes Grogorovich better able to use Shtil missiles against modern air threats). If IN decides to give Talwar a MLU in which the SRL is replaced with 2x12 VLU, its equal again. Talwars mare have some advantages in EW and ASW/Sonar over the Grogorovich.

Talwars have some indigenous systems. In Talwars weren't the hull mounted sonars (HUMSA) local (Bharat Electronics Limited HMS-X)?

Passive towed array sonars (PTAS) and low frequency active towed array sonar (ATAS) units were however sourced from overseas. ATAS units apparently yield better resolution and range compared to HUMSA type sonars. They ordered six ATAS from ATLAS Elektronik and apparently some of these will equip the Talwar class. The AE 70 mm ATAS operates from about 2 kHz low-frequency range, covers 60 kilometers and boasts an automatic torpedo warning system.

Their Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory (NPOL) in Kochi tried to offer an ALTAS (advanced light towed array sonar) to the IN but the IN rejected it (2009).

Bangladesh Navy's Frigate Warship BNS Somudro Avijan (F-29) in Philippine for three days goodwill visit.
.
The Bangladesh Navy Ship (BNS) Somudra Avijan, a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter, arrived at Manila South Harbor Saturday for a three-day goodwill visit until Nov. 16.
.
The ship arrived at 9 a.m. at Pier 15, Manila South Harbor, said Navy public affairs office chief Cmdr. Lued Lincuna.
.
A Philippine Navy (PN) vessel rendered customary meeting procedures with the visiting ship at vicinity of Corregidor Island and escorted the vessel to her designated berthing area at Pier 15.
PN delegates accorded the visiting navy a welcome ceremony upon arrival followed by a port briefing related to security, intelligence and health aboard the Bangladeshi ship.
.
This goodwill visit involves series of confidence building engagements between PN and Bangladesh Navy personnel such as courtesy call to the Flag Officer in Command, PN, shipboard tour by PN personnel and Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadets and goodwill games between the two navies.
.
The engagement between the Philippine and Bangladeshi navies will cap off with a send-off ceremony and a customary Passing Exercise between BNS Somudra Avijan and a designated PN vessel in the vicinity of Corregidor Island.
The fitting reception bestowed by PN to the visiting Bangladesh Navy is a manifestation of sustained promotion of peace and stability and enhancement of maritime cooperation through naval diplomacy and camaraderie.

Looks like its coming back from hawaii. I am still waiting for these two cutters to get some teeth. They have massive range compared to our other frigates, plus at 29 knots, they are the fastest frigates in our inventory.
