nice boats indeed.... these are probably the 3rd and 4th aluminium boats built for the CG.... the first one was CGS Atrai, built in 2007 by KSY... the second one was built by DEWN in 2013...

Bangladesh to procure ten ocean-going ships

Tribune Report

Cabinet committee on public purchase has approved proposals of the home and shipping ministries to procure 10 ships from China and Italy.

The cabinet committee meeting, chaired by Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday, gave the approvals to meet the demand of the Shipping Corporation and Coast Guard.

Of the ships, the procurement of six will be financed by Exim Bank of China, and these ships will be imported from China, while the Home Ministry will buy four ships from Italy with the government fund for Bangladesh Coast Guard, said Cabinet Division Secretary Mostafizur Rahman.

“The cost of the six ships from China will be Tk1,811 crore and the four ships from Italy will cost Tk963 crore,” he told reporters after the meeting.

The fours ships for the Coast Guard being referred to in here are the Minerva Class. The six Chinese-made ships will be for the Bangladesh Shipping Corporation and my best guess is that they will be container feeder vessels plying the Chittagong-Singapore Route which already has huge existing demand.

Brother,any latest news about purchasing chinese subs?

The two Ming classes are in refitment and modernization phase. Delivery by end-of-2015 Inshallah. The Navy is of course hush-hush about it but I hope that we can get submerged torpedo-tube launched version of the C-802 with these boats.

Just posted an article from one of the better Indian Navy blogs about Pakistan's S-26 and S-30 planned sub purchases here. Makes for fascinating reading. These subs are capable of carrying both sea launched Babur (HATF 7) cruise missiles (4) as well as VLS's capable of launching two large SLBM's (JL-1). If Babur is capable of carrying tactical Nuclear warheads (the JL-1's certainly are capable) and could be fired from these submarines - then that would give Pakistan “second-strike” capability if a catastrophic nuclear exchange destroyed all its land-based weapons.

Plus variants of the JL-1 also possess hypersonic anti-ship capability to destroy aircraft carriers in a single hit.

I know this is sort of off topic for this section, but we should remain informed on these anyhow.

DEW completes keel-laying for four Bangladesh Coast Guard patrol vessels
Mrityunjoy Mazumdar, Alameda, California - IHS Jane's Navy International
30 April 2015
Dockyard and Engineering Works (DEW) Narayanganj, the Bangladesh Navy-owned shipyard, announced recently that the keel-laying ceremony for two inshore patrol vessels (IPVs) and two fast patrol boats (FPBs) for the Bangladesh Coast Guard (BCG) took place on 21 April. The vessels are expected to be delivered in 24 months.

Both vessel classes appear to look identical, with minor differences. However, DEW stated in a release that the IPVs are 52 m long, 7 m in beam, displace 297 tonnes, and have a top speed of 23 kt; the smaller FPV is 43.4 m long, has a 6.4 m beam, displaces 235 tonnes, and has a top speed of 25 kt.

I don't think it will become true. Type 053H3 are still young and we need them badly.
