What are these ships meant for ?

Look at the satellite dishes pointing straight up, and that will give us the clues. This is a class of satellite tracking (and presumably satellite controlling) ships. After the PRC started launching longer-range satellites with launch trajectories beyond its own territories, it needed to monitor the launch from independent platforms at various points on the earth surface. As an example, during the Shanzhou satellite launch, this was the deployment:

* Yuanwang 1 in the Yellow Sea
* Yuanwang 2 about 1500 km (about 900 statute miles) southwest of French Polynesia
* Yuanwang 3 off the Namibian coast
* Yuanwang 4 off the coast of Western Australia in the Indian Ocean

India does not need such independent stations as it depends on a network of tracking stations based on the soil of collaborative nations. Some instances are Mauritius, Russia, Indonesia and Brunei.

If you liked the looks of this very handsome class of ships, you might also be interested in the hospital ship that the PLAN has; technically it is not a PLAN ship but a civilian hospital ship. Several strategic eyebrows should be yanked up by their deployment of this vessel, for obvious reasons.

Quite correct, these ships acted as ground stations to receive/process telemetry data. The Soviet Union had a fleet of similar ships that had names starting with Akhademik ....(the name of some scientist) and so on.

French shipbuilder DCNS has launched Morocco's first and only FREMM frigate
tbz10.jpg


The FREMM European multimission frigate is a joint programme between France and Italy. It will build 21 FREMM frigates for the French Navy and the Italian Navy. The frigates are 140m in overall length and 20m wide with displacement of 6,000t. The ship's complement is 108 officers and crew.

FREMM design features

The frigate's layout has been designed to provide sufficient size for operational effectiveness, maintainability and sustained upgrades.

The layout incorporates increased headroom between decks, deeper and longer engine compartments, and larger equipment pathways for access and maintenance.

For quayside maintenance, the frigate is fitted with an aft side door for loading and unloading equipment, load handling equipment and a wide lower deck passage way.

The consoles on the integrated bridge are for all main platform functions including navigation, steering and communications.

The bridge also allows operators to manage and control all platform systems, to monitor safety and security and to coordinate other operations

French FREMM frigate details

The French frigates are being built in two mission versions, the land attack (action vers la terre or AVT) version that will be fitted with torpedoes and vertically launched self-defence and cruise missiles and an anti-submarine warfare ASW version, fitted with torpedoes, vertical launch self defence missiles and an active towed array sonar.
Sensors

Thales is responsible for the development and supply of the French FREMM surveillance and communications suites.

Systems will include Thales Artemis infra-red search and track (IRST) system and the Herakles 3D S-band multifunction surveillance and fire control radar for the frigates' anti-air weapons systems.

Artemis is based on medium-wave staring focal plane arrays and uses multiple static sensor heads rather than mechanical scanning. Herakles has a range of 250km against air targets and 80km against surface targets.
Command and control

The upgradeable high-performance combat system by DCN and Thales is based on a high-speed data network. The combat system architecture will enable future weapon systems to be integrated into the frigates.

The ship's Nato standard external communications include Link 11, Link 16, Link 22 and JSAT tactical data links, allowing full interoperability with Nato forces.

Internal communications include messaging, conventional and wireless telephony, public address, closed circuit television and internet and intranet ports.
Missile variations and weaponry

For anti-ship capability, the French FREMMs are to be armed with MBDA's Exocet MM40 block 3 anti-ship missiles, which will be controlled via a CMS multifunction console by a Mer-Mer weapon control system. Block 3 missiles have longer range and an enhanced navigation system to give a littoral attack capability.

The MBDA Aster 15 air defence missile system for the AVT and ASW French frigates will provide protection against supersonic and subsonic threats. Aster 15 has a minimum range of 1.7km and a maximum range of 30km against subsonic airborne threats.

The MBDA Scalp Naval vertically launched cruise missile, which is scheduled to enter service in 2013, will provide the French AVT FREMM's land attack capability.

MBDA was awarded a contract for the first batch of 50 Scalp missiles for FREMM frigates in January 2007.

The Sylver A-70 vertical launcher is being developed by DCN Ruelle. The missiles will use inertial guidance and electro-optical terrain contour matching (TERCOM) in the terminal target approach phase of flight. Scalp Naval has a range of more than 1,000km.

The French FREMM's main gun is the Oto Melara medium calibre 76/62 Super Rapide naval gun. The gun interfaces to an optronic fire control system. The gun is controlled control either via a CMS multifunction console or through a visual weapons director on the bridge. Four 12.7mm machine guns are installed for close-in defence.
Torpedoes

The French vessels will be armed with the Eurotorp MU 90 Impact torpedo. MU 90 has a directed energy warhead and a range of 12,000m at maximum speed and 25,000m at minimum speed.
Countermeasure technology

Thales is developing the integrated electronic warfare suite. Sagem was awarded a contract for the new-generation Dagaie system (NGDS) decoy system in January 2007.
Aircraft landing hangars

The frigate has an aft helicopter hangar and a helicopter deck of approximately 520m². The frigate is fitted with an emergency communication and remote briefing system with the ship's helicopter. The French AVT frigates will be fitted for a tactical unmanned air vehicle (TUAV). The AVT FREMM will also have the capability to control long-endurance, medium and high-altitude (MALE and HALE) unmanned air vehicles launched from ground sites or from other platforms.
"It will build 21 FREMM frigates for the French Navy and the Italian Navy."

Italian vessels will be fitted with the TC-ASIST helicopter handling system from Curtiss-Wright Controls of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Both the French and Italian frigates have gas turbines with two shafts driving fixed pitch propellers.

In March 2006, Avio of Italy was awarded the contract to supply the FREMM power plant for both countries, which will be the LM2500+G4 gas turbine, licensed-built from General Electric, which will provide 32MW of power.

The maximum speed is 27kt. For quiet anti-submarine operations the shafts are driven by electric motors and the frigate's speed in ASW silent mode is up to 15kt.

An azimuth thruster provides precision manoeuvring for quayside and harbour operations, station keeping and as a back-up emergency propulsion system.

The 105 meter-long SIGMA class frigate, built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for the Royal Moroccan Navy, left Vlissingen on the 6th of May for her sea acceptance trials in the North Sea, right on schedule as agreed in the contract.

During the SAT, an extensive program will be carried out in which the platform as well as the sensor weapons and communications suite will be tested.

The second frigate of 98 meters is scheduled for sea trials at the end of 2011 as the third frigate, also 98 meters long, is still under construction at the Damen yard in Vlissingen, to be launched in September this year.

The three SIGMA-class frigates for the Royal Moroccan Navy have been designed according to Schelde Naval Shipbuilding's revolutionary SIGMA approach and are a further development of the SIGMA-corvettes for the Indonesian Navy. The SIGMA approach applies modularity in many areas.

The Moroccan SIGMA Class frigates equipped to conduct the traditional naval tasks as well as maritime security operations. The vessels are also suited to support humanitarian aid operations.

The Damen Shipyards Group offers a complete range of naval and patrol vessels ranging from 7 to over 200 meters. Part of this portfolio are the Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) naval combatants and auxiliaries, embodied by the SIGMA and ENFORCER series.

DSNS’s recent export successes are orders for four SIGMA corvettes delivered to the Indonesian Navy and three SIGMA frigates for the Royal Moroccan Navy which are under construction. At present DSNS has under construction for the Royal Netherlands Navy: four Patrol Ships and a Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS), the largest military vessel built by DSNS so far.

On February 6, 2008,[10] Morocco signed a USD$1.2 billion contract with Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for two Light frigate SIGMA 9813 and one Light frigate SIGMA 10145 which are modified versions of the existing SIGMA Class design.

A subsequent contract was signed on the April 1, 2008 with Thales Nederland for the supply and installation of the command and control and sensor package for the ships. The package included TACTICOS combat management system, SMART-S Mk2 surveillance radar, LIROD Mk2 tracking radar, Thales KINGKLIP sonar system, IFF system, Integrated communication system comprising external communication system and FOCON internal communication system, two Target Designation Sights, VIGILE ESM system, SCORPION ECM system, and the integrated navigation system.

The first frigate for Morocco, Tarik ben Ziyad, was launched in July 2010, began sea trials on 6 May 2011 and was delivered on 12 September 2011. The second ship was launched on 2 February 2011, with sea trials planned for late in the year. The third ship was planned to be launched in September 2011.
