What's new

Bangladesh Navy

. .
Are they planning to house entire PLAN submarine force or something? :cheesy:
;) ;)
It means BN will focus on huge submarine fleet, you know it is permanent base for life, so you know if you see BN has around 30 subs by 2040,don't be surprised :azn: I wish I will be alive to see this:drag:
 
. . .
Looks promising at the very least for plans for more subs.

Much ado about nothing if two old Mings is the end of BN goals.
Let me tell you this story.

More than a decade ago when purchase of Ming class were on planning table, a retired Admiral wrote a detailed opinion piece in a national daily that why he thinks, buying old Ming class isn't good enough idea & detailing the pros of buying new subs, also stating the importance of starting a submarine force (& doctrine).

In an unprecedented move, serving Navy officers & ISPR went out of their way, assuring the old gentleman that, how Ming class is just a START!!

That's an interesting story, isn't it?

thank you !

Look at the red circle area of temporary dock base for 2 submarines, now calculate the extended area alone the coast, you figure :devil: :P
Bro, the base will have facilities for maintenance, so expect dry docks that houses atleast 4... oil depots, ammunition depot, personnel spaces, provisions for holding the subs themselves so the land will all get used up

I don’t know if this base would ever be able to handle 30 subs, but navies conservative plan of having 8 is not bad for a nation that didn’t have a light bulb on at night 20 years ago

Oh if our AirForce would be half as active and on-track.

I'd be the happiest creature on the planet.

What will be our submarine doctrine? Do you have any idea ?
Will the base have an airfield? Will BN be operating maritimestrike fighter jets or BAF?

To do this, we need to look at an older study of PLAN doctrine, download the PDF at this link after you register.

"Undersea Dragons: China's Maturing Submarine Force"

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/168177/pdf

Fleet details, look at South Sea fleet.

Of course, we need to look at conventional doctrine, not Nuclear.

And not to derail the thread, the Chinese have been busy in Pakistan as well.
