These corvette probably will be employed in coastal defence and he depth of the Bay of Bengal near delta is not favorable for submarine operation.

Depths are between 10-20 meters only, not very sub friendly seas...http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z92R2l0-C5A/UtEanDzNyWI/AAAAAAAADKI/gZ4TWqe0SUo/s1600/coastal+water.jpg

Thanks for all the information @aliaselin.

Someone posted to Wiki that F111 (named BNS Shadhinota) and F112 (yet unnamed) are possibly 056B class with Bow sonar and Yu-7 torpedoes removed compared to original version. Plus 30mm gun can be controlled automatically as well as manually (original 056 class had manual option only).Wiki matrix also showing that two will be built at KSY locally as is the norm so far...

I am curious why Bow sonar was removed. How will this affect the ships wartime preparedness? Or will an improved conformal sonar be substituted for Bow sonar? Bangladesh does have (I think) sonar dipping capability with the A109 choppers.

What about YJ-83 and FL-3000N?

Also looks like it has standard type 364 E/F band Radar. Since this is expected to be used primarily for CIWS (type 630) than I'm guessing this is included in F111 and F112 as well?

Sorry about a lot of questions but I'm sure people here are very curious.

yeah, I've noticed the differences and said the following in the post : BD type 056 launched in Wuchang Shipyard | Page 10
There are a few notable differences between the BN version and the domestic PLAN that I have noticed. Firstly, the absence of hull mounted sonar on the front of the vessel. [IMG]
Secondly, the absence of the tri-packed Yu-7 torpedo launcher just forward of the Heli-deck (The BN version has two personal corridors where the torpedo launcher should be located, the retractable torpedo bay door is also thus absent). Thirdly, the absence of the wave-suppression plate that is located at the rear of the vessel.This is a design that helps to minimize drag when a vessel is steaming @ higher speeds (>30 knots). [IMG] [IMG]
Next, the absence of passive/active towed sonar array @ the rear of the vessel. However, the first few PLAN vessels also did not sport such design, only the later batches had it. [IMG] [IMG]
Lastly, the EO turret mounted on the 30mm CIWS is of a different design than the PLAN version.(I personally favor the looks of the BN one:smitten:). Though I am unable to conclude or even speculate to what purpose the new EO turret serves.

Nope bro, Type 56 is not ASW, neither AAW. Its more like a OPV, with 4 anti-ship missile.

Are you trying to be the funniest guy in the BD section of the forum lol?

You still haven't completed your last comedy yet BD type 056 launched in Wuchang Shipyard | Page 10

And now this? Calling the Type 056 as an OPV?! Have you heard of the term missile corvett?

Nope bro, Type 56 is not ASW, neither AAW. Its more like a OPV, with 4 anti-ship missile.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Type 056 is a series of modular corvettes/light frigates. Both the standard domestic and the ASW-strengthened version have already been inducted into the PLAN, with more version coming.

The AAW-strengthened version has also been made available for export for some time now. This is the AAW model being presented @ IDEX convention.

Damn, haven't seen a video of Type 062 Gun Boat for a long time, good to see it serving well in the Bangladesh Coast Guard!

Any plans to replace/upgrade these boats? After all, these hulls are from the 50s/60s.
