hmm..

Since the ability to watch a news report is reserved for the some-what-educated, Fret not, modern medicine is on the verge of break through against various confusion-inducing developmental disorders. Your inability to understand BongBang's answer should dissipate after proper medication.

So you understand Bengali Mr Smart guy. The report is in Bengali.

First of all, I have no shortage of friends who are of South Asian origin (Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis). As demonstrated by my ability to reply to the post "Bangladesh Navy to get 1 Billion dollar credit from China | Page 2".

Second of all, and most importantly, it tells me you have not even watched the video as per Bongdong requested in your answer, as the Captain of the Bangladesh Coast Guard Vessel P611 spoke in fluent English from 1:13 onward (Purpose of Bangladesh Coast Guard....is to deal with incidents such as piracy, theft, protection of life and material @ sea, etc).

So unless your English proficiency level is so low that you could not pick out English from Bengali, I stand correct that you must be suffering from some kind of confusion-inducing mental disorders. Please have it checked out by a mental health profession before embarrassing yourself on the forum again.

I watched the entire 2 min 17 sec video & it's entirely Bengali. I request you to watch the entire video in full.
Captain of the Bangladeshi Coast Guard Vessel only spoke one line of English.. And i clearly heard that one line which is about their aim in general.. And that one line only lasted for 8 seconds.. The rest was completely in Bengali.
Please don't make personal attacks as it is against the forum rules. And about your posts --- I never read it (why should i even read your earlier posts).
I only wanted to know whether the 4 new minerva class corvettes would be used against India in any way. And he (Bongbong) gave some video related to piracy operation which i never really understood since it's 95% Bengali. So i gave that expression .... You picked up that very same expression & started posting some random things ...And hey ... Don't quote me if your intention is only making personal attacks.

you have concerns for coast guard ships being acquired by you neighbours??.... with that much fear, how do you go to sleep?.....

Not necessarily to Indian navy. But BD these days had been increasing it's military (naval) infra along it's small coast.

our entire economy is dependent on foreign trade.... do you think we'll depend on you for the security of our trade routes?.... its ridiculous to think that we'll follow the route you want to follow....

I don't think anyone in India should worry about the coast-guard build-up in Bangladesh. We never had a coast guard in any case ten years ago and needed to strengthen this area urgently because the Thai and Myanmarese fishing boats were stealing our fish blind 24/7/365.

Plus the Myanmarese went a step beyond by issuing drilling licenses in an area that was not even theirs to start with - in the hope we wouldn't notice (which we did not at first).

Our Navy does not get into patrolling for smuggling and fishery crimes nor should it be their job to do so.

By the way the surplus 1300 ton Minerva class ASW corvettes from Italy are fine older boats about the size of 056 class with,

1. Single Otobreda 76 mm guns mounted afore
2. Single 8 cell Sea Sparrow launcher and,
3. Single 6 cell 324mm TLS ASW torpedo launcher (A244-S)
4. Landing Space and storage in the rear meant for Agusta Westland Heli patrol craft

I am guessing most of these weapons except the gun will probably be dismantled because the Coast Guard doesn't need this sort of armament in the Bay of Bengal for fishery patrols. These older boats will make some fine training and fishery patrol platforms . At some point MANPADs may be fitted to these boats if necessary.

Bangladesh Navy does however operate Nos. 1 and 3 above (the Italian A244-S torpedo has a max range of 13 or so KM but is a bit outdated now).

A bit off topic here - China did produce a variant of the Naval Sea Sparrow (LY-60n) which was sold to Pakistan, however that seems to not have been adopted by the PLA Navy, the PLAN instead skipped over to adopt the HQ-7a (or FM-90 as export version).

What..??

Dropped my bait and buddy-boy showed up.

OK enlighten us with your version Sir

So How many total Frigates and Corvettes Bangladesh will have by end of 2015 ? @BDforever @asad71 @idune

 

[bongbang]

What..??

He said Myanmar was trying to drill in undisputed sea territory between BD and Myanmar before the decision of International court.

 

[Ideas_R_Bulletproof]

So How many total Frigates and Corvettes Bangladesh will have by end of 2015 ? @BDforever @asad71 @idune

by the end of 2015....
4 FFGs + potentially 1 FF converted into an FFG + another FF expected within Spring 2015
4 FLG - 1,000t+
2 Large Patrol Craft (LPC-G) - 640t

apart from these,
2 SSK in 2016
2 more LPCs by the end of 2016

much more on the cards (in process)

• Shadhinota class FSG (2)
• Jiangwei II class FFG (2)
• Hamilton class FFG (1)
• Durjoy class ASW LPC (2)

2015 deliveries for Coast Guard:

Also quoting fol report:

The Bangladesh Navy would spend Tk 14,000 crore for a three-dimensional force to ensure security of its 1,18,813 square kilometre of sea territory.
The Navy chief submitted the plan to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently, and sought funds within eight years, sources in the naval headquarters said.

If the government allocates the funds, the Navy will purchase submarines, war ships and helicopters, and set up naval bases. It would help boost the ‘blue economy’ of the country.
Not only the Navy, but also some ministries, especially the ministries of fisheries and livestock, environment, shipping, energy, defence, agriculture and foreign affairs, have prepared individual plans for exploiting marine resources to develop the country’s "blue economy" over the 1,18,813 sq km of sea territory.
The Navy, in its master plan, advised the government to prepare a maritime policy and form a maritime commission for conducting, monitoring and maintaining the use of marine resources, sea and port infrastructures.
Of the 1,18,813 sq km of its sea territory, Bangladesh got 70,000 sq km from Myanmar and 19,000 sq km from India that comprises the territorial sea and an exclusive economic zone extending out to 200 nautical miles (NM).
According to the Navy's master plan, it will need to build a well decorated naval force to ensure security in the sea and coastal areas and uphold the country’s sovereignty.
The plan envisages purchase of naval war ships, vessels, helicopters and equipment within six to eight years. It will need Tk. 1,000 crore to purchase two old frigates, Tk. 4,000 crore for two new frigates, Tk. 800 crore for two large patrol crafts (LPCs), Tk. 1,600 crore for corvettes, Tk. 500 crore for five patrol crafts, Tk. 200 crore for a training ship, Tk. 200 crore for a logistic ship, Tk. 100 crore for a fleet tanker, Tk. 400 crore for four mine counter measure vessels (MCMVs), Tk. 240 crore for a floating dockyard, Tk. 250 crore for two maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), Tk. 160 crore for two helicopters, Tk. 1,000 crore for an oceanographic research vessel and Tk. 400 crore for procuring a rescue and salvage ship.
According to the plan, the Navy sought Tk. 1,500 crore to build a submarine base in six years and Tk. 1,500 crore to build a naval base and other infrastructures for naval aviation. The Navy has proposed formation of a maritime commission like that of the Armed Forces Division (AFD), a division under the Prime Minister’s Office.
The government has signed an agreement with China under a state-to-state deal to purchase two Ming-class submarines by 2016 to make the Navy a part of a three-dimensional force to protect the country’s maritime resources and territorial waters. Altogether 17 naval officers have been trained to operate submarines. The Navy has acquired land on Kutubdia Island in southwest Cox’s Bazar to set up a submarine base. Sources in the Coast Guard and Navy said the government has decided to purchase helicopters, offshore patrol vessels and other equipment for the Coast Guard to carry out surveillance on the maritime boundary and counter unconventional threats, such as human trafficking and smuggling of illegal arms, drugs and narcotics.
Senior officers of the Coast Guard and the Navy have been attending seminars and courses abroad to gather experience and learn more about tactics to protect the maritime boundary.
The Director of Navy Intelligence (DNI), Commodore M Rashed Ali, told The Independent that the authorities should implement the plan of action to strengthen the Navy so that it can ensure maritime security and boost the blue economy.
“Bangladesh is likely to become a middle-income country if the blue economy is boosted and so the government should strengthen the force’s capacity,” he said.
On 18 February, following completion of Exercise Sea Thunder 2014 in the Bay of Bengal, Maj. Gen. Tarique Ahmed Siddique, security adviser to the Prime Minister, had said that the naval force has been strengthened to defend the country’s maritime boundaries. Naval chief Vice-Admiral Farid Habib had said they firmly believed that the Navy would emerge as a force to reckon with within 10 years.
The Navy has already purchased two Dornier 228NG (new generation) patrol aircraft for surveillance at sea and carried out search operations in the deep sea using aircraft to find debris of the missing Malaysian jet that disappeared with 239 people on board on March 8 this year.
Coast Guard Director General, Rear Admiral, M Makbul Hossain, told The Independent that they were capable of facing unconventional threats at sea and protect the country’s maritime resources and territorial waters. “At present, we are protecting the 710-km sea boundary with our personnel of only 2,000. We need manpower, offshore patrol vessels and modern equipment to strengthen the force’s capacity,” he said.
He added the authorities have assured them of recruiting the necessary manpower, procuring helicopters, new equipment and vessels for the force. “We are preparing proposals for the purchase of two helicopters, two big vessels and other important equipment to strengthen our capacity and to smoothly conduct operations,” he explained.
