Bangladesh Navy

[BDforever]

In near future....
1. 2 1500 tons missile corvette(with 4 C-803 missiles each, range 280KM), ASW capability and a heli.
2. Expected total 8 (2 are in service already) 700 tons missile corvettes with ASW capability.
3. 2 submarines(probably ming class).
PS: These are some significant warships BD navy will get while some other smaller ships

1. actually 4 units will be build at least (2 in china and 2 in BD)
2. those are classied as Large Patrol craft-Missile (LPC-M)
3. Type035G submarines

Yes though I meant in near future. I believe construction of first 2 have stared in China(so expect them to be ready in 3-4 years at most) while later 2 will take some times(say 6-8 years) as BD will manufacture them.

those will join next year along with 2 submarines and construction in BD will start in last quater of next year

Mr China completes the ship in maximum 1.5 year specially corvettes

erosion is a big problem.... salinity also is..... for salinity, the biggest problem is severe dropping of freshwater level in rivers..... as such salty seawater is encroaching inland..... and I guess you already know the real problem behind dropping level of freshwater in our rivers..... or should I explain?

1. Rising sea water level. More water in rivers also leads to greater erosion. Check the rate of erosion in India for example.
2. Yeah - India. But going by the track records, I don't think India will provide any water in the future either. Don't blame me - I don't decide the policies.

The latest missile boats of BN Navy is a good sign. Indigenous manufacture is always a plus. Besides it raises manufacturing practical for building far more complicated designs in the future.

Certainly they can.

actually the ships that are likely to start construction here probably later this year are two Large Patrol Crafts (LPCs) that are 64m and 650ton.... can hardly call them as missile boats.... especially when they carry sonar and ASW rockets along with SSMs, guns and MANPADS..... they're classified by many as corvettes..... and thats the role they're likely to play..... the last five patrol crafts of indigenous design built for BN were 50m and 350ton..... the design is such that the design would easily allow carrying of SSMs.... so, we may even see some taking that role.... more such ships had been planned.... probably between 12 to 20 units.... and the two Type 056 corvettes that are coming to BD in 2015 would also have their sister ships built in BD..... at least two units.... govt officials have already said that.... we have received Chinese assistance in building all these ships..... so, we hope to overcome technical difficulties in an easier way..... and given that Bangladesh already exports civilian ships to EU and other countries for years, I think building larger warships is just a matter of time.....

That's even better. IMO - big boats look great but are ultimately useless in today's world for smaller navies. I mean in the best case scenario an aircraft carrier can be sunk with 10 torpedoes for example. Infact you don't need so many. Smaller, faster, cheaper and numerous smaller craft with sufficient capability is much better for a smaller navy. Of course they can't go into combat against a fleet of gigantic battleships, cruisers and the like but taking care of supply routes and merchant shipping hunting even is within its reach. Also add nuisance raids to that list.

If you want to challenge the bigger navies, you will need bigger ships though, otherwise you may need too many smaller craft to take down a big boat.

well, lets see..... its still early days..... Bangladesh's strategic position call for a lot of stuff..... all depends on the economy..... economy currently dictates which strategic priorities should be confronted first..... a bigger economy will mean bigger trade; more importance of the ports and trade routes.... and thus more importance for the navy..... trade routes are long..... economy will dictate how far we should go to protect the trade routes.....

BN should look towards Turkish FAC, Corvette and other equipment from Pakistan and other Muslim countries.

and other Muslim countries.

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.

Thanks for the confirmation. I think the replacement for the 80's era Pohang class corvette (1200 tons) is the Incheon-class frigate with much higher endurance (and like you said - there is going to be newer versions/sizes scaled up/down as in flight II at present). So far - there is no indication that Korea is developing a dedicated small corvette design as a 1300 ton equivalent to the Chinese Type 056. There are however going to be scaled down smaller versions of the Incheon class at 1400 ton size.

About Incheon class having VLS - this is highly unusual for a frigate class vessel this small. Usually much larger frigates (and small Destroyers) having displacements above 5000 tons start having VLS systems. The variation of the Incheon class for Bangladesh may be scaled down to 1400 tons (as is the version proposed for Israel). Israel's version will have their Barak Naval anti-missile system and advanced Phased Array radars outfitted in Israel Shipyards after the fact.

It's not known if Bangladesh's version will have Harpoon missiles for the VLS or an equivalent Chinese copy. The larger Incheon class has a Korean version of the Harpoon.

On a side note - It is interesting to reflect that the Chinese type 052D class destroyer (two sizes up from the 056 class corvette) is a more or less direct copy of the USS Arleigh Burke Class DDG, complete with a Chinese Phased Array radar, AEGIS system and digital ECM suite fitted. It is fairly common to have Destroyers to have VLS. Here are the Chinese VLS systems (probably with C802s).

Type 052D destroyer - (64 cells)
Type 052C destroyer - (48 cells)
Type 051C destroyer - (48 cells)
Type 054A frigate - (32 cells)

Among modern corvettes - only the Russian 'Steregushchy class' corvette carries a VLS system so far. These are 1800 ton vessels.

fire power is between our Durjoy class and Type056 class
talking about VLS in Incheon class ?
New Turkish FAC has VLS .
and last thing, you forgot to mention Incheon class is also Ulan class frigate replacement
