What's new

Bangladesh Navy

not Incheon class, South Korea showed new type of Corvette which is around 1300 ton and Incheon class is frigate, next generation frigate.
according to my source, bd is going to get Incheon class version 2 frigate which is better than current Inchelon class. South Korea is going to build them for both itself and Bangladesh (2 for Bangladesh) . It has VLS.
well, thats okay.... we don't mind getting a few state-of-the-art stuff to kick some behind.... no problemo....
but the question is, why did the naval chief said that if it didn't really materialise.... and that too, in December 2012.... and why haven't we heard of it from any other source?..... the ROK is not known for its keeping a tight lid on deals..... the Russians and the Eastern block do that....

is there a possibility that the deal for the corvettes didn't go through in favour of the Type 056?..... and how reliable is the info about the Incheon V2?

Understood and I figured as much about Navy personnel being tight-lipped about this. Speculation was rife in the industry press in the Asia Pacific zone about that exact comment. So if by corvettes he meant the new Gumdoksuri Class (PKG-A) they are too small at 570 tonnes. Therefore it has to be the Incheon class which is perfect for the lead ship(s) for Bangladesh Navy as Ulsan class replacements. The Philippine Navy is also negotiating with the Koreans for two, as are the Israelis - for four.

yea.... the Gumdoksuri doesn't sound like a "corvette program".....

According to source, South Korean type will join in 2016. It is not about ROK, it is about Bangladesh. Bangladesh wants to get secrect about military stuff.
well my source is reliable, according to my source DW3000H frigate is also in mind if Incheno class does not get meterialized.
DW3000H frigate is based on our BNS Bongobandhu :D (DW2000 frigate)

@Ideas_R_Bulletproof here the version 2

wow!!.... thats a sleek design.... such a ship will cost a minimum of $250 million, I think.... the Incheon-class only has RAM for its air defence, yet its costing ROK Navy $232mn...... keeping such a huge deal secret would be some achievement..... but to be delivered by 2016, it has to be under construction by now.... and no option to change to another design.... or is it a possibility that the deal is there, but it not been finalised due to fund constraints?..... may be it will be revealed after the receipt of the two Type 056 and start of another 2 at KSY?.... possible?

and any idea about where the previous Navy COS's corvette went? :O

This is DW3000H frigate

its price around $205 million though its firepower less then Incheon class. As par analysis, BD is now focusing more on submarine, so to adjust fund, BD might go for DW3000H. But one thing is sure, one of them will be built in BD with TOT as BD Navy has plan to build frigate by 2020.
what is COS' corvette ? :undecided:

wow!!... thats a sleek design too!!.... any specs available?

our previous naval chief Vice Admiral Z U Ahmed said in an interview in December 2012 that "a contract for the construction of two corvettes has already been signed with South Korea"... wonder where his corvettes went..... :undecided:

I guess he actually mixed China with South Korea by mistake :P
Details about DW3000H:
Daewoo unveiled a new frigate concept, the stealthy DW 3000H, at the Defense & Security 2012 Trade Show in Bangkok, Thailand. Principal dimensions of the DW 3000H are a length of 114 meters, a beam of 13.8 meters, a depth of 8.2 meters, a draft of 3.9 meters, and a displacement of 3,000-4,000 tons. The frigate’s propulsion system is a combined diesel and diesel arrangement driving two controllable pitch propellers for a top speed of 28 knots. To improve seakeeping characteristics, the hull has a pair of adjustable fin stabilizers and two pairs of bilge keels (strakes running along the length of the hull).

In common with other contemporary warship designs, the DW 3000H features an integrated mast – Thales’ I-Mast 500 most likely fitted with ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile) uplink/control capability. Fire-control equipment includes a forward-facing gunfire-control director – a Thales Sting – atop the bridgehouse and a rear-facing Thales MIRADOR electro-optical director atop the helicopter hangar.

The DW 3000H is to be multirole frigate with a focus on anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Primary weapon systems are a single Oto Melara 76 mm gun in a stealth turret, an eight-cell vertical launch system for surface-to-air missiles – very likely the ESSM, eight surface-to-surface missiles – most likely American-built Harpoons or the equivalent Korean-built SSM-700K in two quad launchers located amidships, two 30 mm MSI DS30 guns fitted atop the hangar deck and a Phalanx close-in weapon system that is mounted one deck higher. A pair of decoy launchers is also fitted.

The ASW suite comprises two triple-torpedo tubes in enclosed recesses on the main deck level as well as what appear to be two anti-torpedo decoy launchers mounted atop the hangar deck. A hull-mounted sonar is fitted in a retractable sonar dome, though it is not clear if a towed array system is fitted. The frigate can accommodate one helicopter in the hangar. The display model shows a Lynx helicopter.

Details about DW3000H:
ha ha.... yea, I also thought he made the mistake.... but also asked myself - would he? :undecided:

the DW 300H design seems a good one.... specs are quite good.... we already have a frigate with mostly Thales EW suites.... the ESSM and the Harpoons may be changed possibly.... but anyway, thats not the issue.... the issue is still at the base.... is this a real deal or just speculation...... only time can tell..... :)

thats great.... probably its the budget issue after all.... as said earlier, my be BN is waiting for some priorities to get fulfilled first...... but its a real probability that this deal is actually under a concrete plan....

@BDforever By 2018 How many Frigates and Corvettes Bangladesh will have ?

7 frigates 8 corvettes at least :)
Man than who on earth you guys are not focusing on your Air Force I know you are also planning to have 20 + Missile boats and also going for Submarines with these kind of weapons if can just get 12 to 15 Squadrons of good fighter Jets you will be really strong Armed Forces in the world and Navy weapons cost a lot in so if you are spending on them so rapidly you have money Man you seriously need start focusing on your Air Force

we have plan of 10 squadrons new fighter jets. Right now we are focusing more on Navy because we are export oriented country, so our trade depends on sea route.

A good navy is always good for protecting sea routes. Any plans on arresting the rising salinity in South Bangladesh? I mean this is a threat faced by all low lying countries. If I am not wrong, you are losing land to rapid erosion.

Sir I think you should know one thing in this modern world without a strong Air Force Navy and Army are a sitting duck
