Countries like Sweden that border smaller seas, such as the Baltic Sea or the Persian Gulf, are more likely to build the smaller and more maneuverable corvettes.
fine buudy...but i meant was both should not be called corvettes..there should be some different terminology..otherwise it doesnt do justice to P-28 ..lol
Good proint can you tell me how much difference between F22p & P-28It depends on countries. Just like Pakistan Navy calls 2400 ton F-22P as frigate while Indian Navy calls 2500 ton P-28 as corvette.

i wonder why indian army and airforce dosent follow the foot steps of indian navy when it comes to buying or inducting domestic military hard ware
Wat does Kamorta mean..?if any...

"domestic"? Indian shipyards "integrate" technology. Take one look at the technologies in use in ships like the "shivaliks" or "kolkatas" and you will get a god enough idea. building the steel hull does not equate to indigenous system!
The days of making complete systems is gone. Indian R&D organizations should focus on specific technologies and integrate rest from the best of east & west. That's when we get beauties like INS shivalik or INS kamorta!

That you call 'integrate'? Which parts of the P-28 are bought from foreign countries? Except some weapons and gearbox? Kolkata will get most of the equipments from Indian industries and DRDO/PSUs.
When last time we made 'complete systems'?
In addition to providing advanced monitoring and control capability for the ship's platform machinery, for example for propulsion, electrics, auxiliaries, damage control and steering, L-3 MAPPS's IPMS incorporates a number of advanced applications, such as an integrated bridge system; a digital gas turbine control system; a battle damage control system; an equipment health monitoring system (including vibration monitoring); an on-board team training system; and a digital CCTV system.
L-3 MAPPS's Marine Control System's successes can be attributed to proven systems utilizing advanced technology, plus an integrated marine product team approach which enables L-3 MAPPS to 'think locally and act globally.' We make a concerted effort to listen carefully to our customers, and work closely with our sister companies and partners to meet customer needs with superior IPMS technology.
The STC system offers optimum engine-turbocharger matching for special requirements and gives the type 28/33D engines an extended torque envelope, resulting in economical operating modes and improved engine acceleration characteristics. These modes are especially useful in naval applications and include cruising with a controllable pitch propeller set at optimum pitch for noise while still retaining high acceleration capability; operating a single engine at twice the propeller law in multi-engine systems (e.g. twin-input/single-output gears, CODOG etc). MAN Diesels STC system is derived from well-proven equipment used on the Pielstick PA6 engine and
in contrast to other sequential turbocharging systems, the MAN Diesel STC system is essentially and intentionally simple, consisting of two identical, standard turbochargers, one providing
copious charge-air at low and medium speeds with the second
cutting in at higher speeds.
Armament is to include a license-built OTO Melara 76mm Super Rapid Gun in a stealth mount and a 16-cell Barak SAM launcher, a pair of AK-630M CIWS (Close In Weapon System), two Larsen & Tubro built derivatives of the RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launcher and four Larsen & Tubro built 533mm torpedo launchers.
It was announced on 21 December 2006 that GRSE awarded DCNS of France a contract to provide a comprehensive engineering package of raft-mounted Propulsion Power Transmission Systems (PPTS) for the four corvettes. Under the contract, this French ship-building company will deliver four propulsion packages (including eight reduction gear units on cradles and either thrust blocks) to GRSE. The company will also provide support to GRSE for the mechanical integration of the propulsion plant.
