Kamorta class corvettes for VPN ?

[Carlosa]

You guys will be receiving 10 Hateruma-Class Patrol Vessels. They're actually being built as we speak. The vessels are 1.3 tonnes , about 1.5 tonnes full load. It will come with the MK44 Bushmaster II 30 mm cannon. This will cruise at 30 knots full speed. And its perfect for Patrol Vehicles.

I believe that these will be inducted into the Philippine Coast Guard.

Are you talking for VN or Philippines?

How much are those ships?

Japan provided 10 of these to the Philippines at friendship price of $184 million. On very , very soft loans.

Vietnam should get closer to Israel. Which Vietnam is currently already doing. Israelis are reliable partners in defence, and several of the platforms India makes have Israeli components. Making it better, Vietnam-US relations are cooling down a lot.

Some of the platforms which have important Israeli sub components.

As Vietnam gets bold in defence, they will come in handy.

Yes, the MF-Star would be the best option, if there is enough money to spare.

18.4 million per ship sounds ok.

I hope the Philippines won't paint them grey and call it frigates.

Just kidding Filipinos.

he he he, technically, if they added CIWS Phalanx, purchased Japanese Anti Ship Missiles (SSM-1Bs), this ship could be converted to a Light Corvette. Heck if they even decided to install Harpoon SSM launchers, then perhaps bought our ASROC octuplet launchers,....they could convert these 10 'light corvettes' into DEADLY all-round vessels. With ASW capability.

Remember that these ships can host helicopters, so it can host ASW choppers.

For sure, along with Barak 8!

Corvettes to Destroyers can be given that combo! And India and Israel will produce in large numbers.

Kamorta class

Saryu class

Sukanya class

Saryu class is a 2300 ton ship.Kamorta is 2800 ton.
I think @RISING SUN is probably talking about Saryu not Sukanya.
VN dont need an 80s technology ship .At any case those customised version would be a hybrid that incorporating Saryu and Kamorta.

That's a killer combination mate !!!! Love Barak 8 and I think the Indian ships for VN will have it.

Those Kamortas look bitching good.

well convert them to missile patrol boats . JK.

Ha ha ha ha ! They actually can be converted to corvettes. Install CIWS Phalanx, SSM-1Bs, ASROC launchers, Sea-RAM Phalanx, purchase 1 ASW heli (Agust-W) , then you have an all-around Corvette.

Then you can color this in Philippine Navy Grey.

Do you know what ship class is Japan offering to VN?

Amigo, the Vietnamese aquired the Gepard Class Light Frigate , which has a tonnage of only 1.5 tonnes.

Remember, the Hateruma-Class is 1.3 tonnes, but full displacement is around 1.5 tonnes.

If Philippines wanted to convert the Hateruma-Class into Heavy Corvettes, it can.

too bad its in the form of ODA so its impossible to convert this ship to the navy.

 

[William Hung]

Right now i can't find any picture of this hybrid in the internet.But one thing is clear the frigate that'll be offered to V.P.N. will definitely be a Kamorta/OPV hybrid and it'll be significantly larger than the 105 m OPV model developed by GRSE having a far more deadlier weapons package and a world class electronic suite and an AESA radar most probably of Israeli origin.I heard this from an ex Indian Navy officer in another Indian forum.

Can you give us the name of this forum and thread?

@Carlosa @Water Car Engineer, this is what we wanted to hear. It sounds very much like the Israeli MF-Star.
