What is the purpose of a diving boat? Grateful for information shared.

Like the name, it’s used by divers

Surely divers can jump off any boat. Why do they need a special boat. Is it equipped and purposed for specialised operations?

I think they have timing instruments, sonars and oxygen tank replenishments

Yeah they can. But a search & salvage operation requires much more sophisticated & comprehensive approach.

It's actually a hydrographic survey vessel which can also be used for combat diving and SAR operation

A lot of equipment is needed for three dimensional operations, including underwater welding etc.

This can also assist in locating ships submerged in commercial channels.

Rest on combat ops. you can add two plus two....

AW-159 for ASW & Dornier for MPA? I heard rumors a while back that procurement of Wildcats has been halted for some reasons (costs maybe?).Any idea which classes might have been presented?

Hae

Yes they didn't approve the fund for second batch. Instead they will go for AW-101 for SF

Any idea which classes might have been presented?

no.

Guessing Damen is the Netherlands party and STX from France - I'd also throw Fincantieri in the mix. Pakistan is a recent customer from Damen's Romanian yard. 2X2400 ton OPVs.

Republic of Korea Navy Submarine Force Command has been hosting the annual International Submarine Education and Training Program (ISETP) since 2013.

This 8 week-long course educates multinational students from Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Latin America with the basics of submarine operation and maintenance via class instruction and practical applications.

ROK Navy established ISETP to meet the growing requests from foreign governments to train their respective nation's submarine crew.

The current class is comprised of foreign students from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, and etc. Since its inception, 76 foreign officers and NCOs have successfully graduated from the program.

Despite having operated submarines for only 30 years, ROK Navy Submarine Force's success in various overseas international exercises, particularly RIMPAC made it a sought-out teacher among fledgling or aspiring submarine operators.
