Bangladesh Navy

[aliaselin]

thanks so much for helping out with the translation.....
but I was more interested in the whitish box on the hull right before the heli-deck.... I thought something about that box was being mentioned.... can you guess what that box is about?

Which box are you talking about? Any picture?

Of course my Chinese is _very_ elementary (Google translate is my friend nowadays). But one thing that I caught easily was the repeated references to 'Munjala' (Chinese name for 'Bangla' or 'Bangladesh').

I think he was talking about the Silkworms in the white boxes - right?

Funny thing is that the bridge design for F111 is so different compared to the 056 class. The armament is what you had predicted before.

By the way I think Kelvin Hughes supplied I/E band radar and/or surveillance equipment for this project. The logo is prominently displayed on the launch platform in one of the video frames.

ha ha... trying to get a pic of that.... but failed to do the screen capture though....
anyway, I actually meant a whitish-painted box-like area on the body of the ship right before and below the helipad....

well, I think its because the KV radars are commercial radars mostly.... military radars are not supposed to be exported to China.... so, no restrictions of these, I suppose....

If you're saying 'whitish-painted box-like area' then are we saying F111 has VLS modules up front? In this size vessel I have my doubts. VLS usually only starts being put in at DDG level ships. In one previous post there were two images of DDGs (type 052 and 055, the one under development) posted by mistake. Those are much bigger than the F111 corvette we're getting (similar in size but not arrangement as type 056).

on the ship side, brother.... not on the deck.....

F112 has been launched, too

why the front side longer than original version ?

why the front side longer than original version ?

Hmm looks to me like BN F111 and F112 are moored side by side and then there is F82 (F92) in the back. F111 and F112 look to be the same proportions to me. I don't know whose navy F82 belongs to.

When is weapons fit-out planned to be completed on the BN pair?

don't know, only I know is those will join BN after around 7 months from now lol

Tar maney boltu tight kortey are shake-out-trial ditey (stretching out their sea legs) shat mash choley jabey. Still pretty fast. Some smaller (or dhila) navies take a couple of years to do this once the hull is floated on the water.

F92. Exported to Nigeria called NNS Unity

why the front side longer than original version ?

Maybe because it dose not use broken line style design and make it look longer

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.

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.

Bucchi - Pani Ghola ar ki . Murky water - great for fishing. Ghola panitey motsho shikar.

The average draft in that coastal area ranges from twenty five to forty feet, definitely not submarine territory. So that begs another question. If there is a territorial or marine drilling dispute outside of the coastal shelf zone (deeper water) - then what gets sent over? Couple of frigates?

This is interesting because the 056 class typically operates in China as well as in Nigeria (for the larger 056N -1800 tonnes displacement) in much deeper waters (although still classified as an OPV) than it will in its BN role in the Bay of Bengal. From what you are saying, our 056's will never patrol any deeper than the continental shelf off of Bangladesh's coast.

I am curious why Bow sonar was removed.

An insider said BD has removed torpedoes due to our torpedoes' price, but not talked about the bow sonar. But I think if there is no torpedoes, then bow sonar is useless.

What about YJ-83 and FL-3000N?

C-802A and FL-3000N should be there

Also looks like it has standard type 364 E/F band Radar

I'm not sure the radar is type 364 radar or 360, and need clearer photos for confirming it. As to type 364 radar，it is C band but not as you said S band, and used by CIWS system for target detecting but not tracking, so it is not a must for combing with CIWS system. This is how original version of type 056 and KCR-60 for Indonesia has done.
Anyway，it we checked the picture closer, it is more likely that the radar is type 360 or type 363 radar

type 360 radar:

type 364 radar:
