Pride Of RSN

well.. a superpower can always 'liberate' a fellow soverign state and claim its wealth for its 'reconstruction' effort.Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Good to have but overkill in terms of practical use and then, theres manpower issues and COST (dun want to end up like a superpower in debt).

What about the DD(x) ?Originally posted by spencer99:Most "steath" ships somehow look "unsexy"... because their "lines" are meant to be non-radar reflecting rather then streamlined under non-steath ships...
In terms of pure asthetics... the RMN F2000 frigates look much better. but of course in terms of combat effectiveness i would prefer a steath ship any time! -
you think most new recruits go to the FFG har?Originally posted by YI:how are you going to train the sailors if the ship isn't even built 2 years back?
most of them would be replacing crews operating other ships... so that the more experience ones would be redeployed to the FFG lah....
you think they will entrust new recruits to a brand new ship? -
true.. but how about the replacements for those replacement crew?Originally posted by tripwire:you think most new recruits go to the FFG har?

that would depend on the resigning rate.. dont you think?Originally posted by YI:true.. but how about the replacements for those replacement crew? -
the formidable is comparable to the aegis... .. it even exceed the aegis in capability in some areas... like mass missile guidance, stealth, sonar, cost efficiency and automation.Originally posted by fkh:Frigate is nothing to be proud of.
It will be better if RSN have Aegis destroyers..
Why ? Aegis Destroyers have long ranged SAM (SM-2)
and Tomahawks.
the aegis have the advantage of land attack with tomahawk... something that RSN might get if we get the storm shadow for the formidable.
in terms of long range SAM... the SM-2 is only slightly longer range (~10km) then an ASTER 30.. but ASTER 30 have active radar... while SM-2 dont.
in terms close range anti-missile defence.. the aster15 beats the SM-2 easily.. -
yeap but even with a super low attrition rate, the sudden surge in manpower needs of 6 FFG makes me think that all the RSN ship island-wide will only be manned by a skeleton crew. hmm.. any idea when the FFG squadron will become operational?Originally posted by tripwire:that would depend on the resigning rate.. dont you think?
