Updates.

১ টা হেভি মেইনগান
১ টা হেভি CIWS
৩২ টা VLS SAM system
৮/১২ টা FL-3000N SHORAD system
৮ টি Anti-ship Missile
৪ টি Land Attack Cruise Missile (depends on situation)

What is GT propulsion?

GT means Gas Turbine.

The General Electric LM2500 is an industrial and marine gas turbine produced by GE Aviation. The LM2500 is a derivative of the General Electric CF6 aircraft engine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_LM2500

The Pakistani OHP class frigates, the Indian Shivalik class frigates use GE LM2500 marine GT engines.

Our Samudra Joy (Hamilton) class frigates use Pratt and Whitney Marine GT engines.

In England, Rolls Royce also make aero gas-turbine derivative marine engines.

Basically these are jet engines put into ships and the shafts massively geared down to drive propellers for ships.

I thought we were going for 6 European frigates.

China publiclised the Bangladesh Navy's new frigate at a hardware expo in Russia. Its very clear BN opted for a stealthier version of the Type 054 which shares similarities with its Shadhinota class guided missile corvettes.

This is a very good design IMO. We know BN opted for a modernised Type 054 but up until the public release of the model it was not confirmed to the Internet audience.

This is a heavily modernized version of the 054A (kind of a combination between the French Lafayette Frigate design and the 054A, see below). I like the traditional hull of the 054A, better than the faceted hull of the Lafayette class.

The masts are all integrated now and the forecastle has been cleaned up for stealth effect. Main gun up front could be changed to a enclosed streamlined folding mount, Oto Melara offers such a package.

I like the clean minimalist design ! :-)

CSSC did show the usual 4000 ton frigate based on the 054A, but it's this one:

The other model is a light frigate.

Yeah, that's what something BN wants. Don't think that other design is for us.

Now i understand why the bridge looks familiar.
