they are perfect for the coast guard but how are they been equip with

They kept the main gun mounts afore and will mount 76mm Chinese cannons on those I believe at some point. They also have kept the 1 x Oerlikon KBA 25mm gun. The helipad in the rear can accommodate an SAR heli (AW139's in our case).

The Selenia Aspide (Sea Sparrow) SAMs (four each) and torpedoes were to be overkill for the Coast Guard and have been taken out - as well as the tired/old sensors that supplied data to these weapons. However some of the following (or modern new replacement radars/sensor equivalents for navigation and remote sensing) may still be fitted per Bangladesh CGS Interim Coastal OPV requirements (for patrolling and policing fishing and mineral EEZ areas):
  • - 1 x SMA SPS-728 Navigation radar
  • - 1 x Selenia Fire control SPG-75 (RTN 30X) for Albatros and 76mm
Future Bangladesh CGS Medium (1200 ton plus) Coastal OPV platforms like these will surely be built locally and are already in planning. The 'Shobuj Bangla class' (see below) Inshore Patrol vessel (IPV) built locally at 300 tons are at the smaller end of the Patrol fleet in Bangladesh CGS use.

Glad to see the typical Indonesian maid behaviour coming from you.
Ironic isn't it,more Bangladeshi in SG universities like NUS and NTU compared to Indonesians.
And BD road cleaners in SG earn more and speak better english compared to you Indonesians.
And more Bengali kids studies in prestigious schools in SG compared to Indonesians.
So if we are dog,what are you guys?
RATS?:lol:

Lets not attack Indonesia for one man. Indonesia is full of wonderful people.

They were 33 years old all scrap by local tender.

I guess BNS Salam (P712) can be an interesting example though.... it was a Type 021 missile boat originally commissioned as BNS Durnibar (P8127) on 10 November 1988..... it sank in River Kanaphuli during cyclone of 1991..... then it was recovered, renovated and recommissioned in 2002.... probably still in service....

yet, these were converted way back in the 1990s when the ship was pretty new....
now the Type 24s are way too old... and too small for most purpose....
it also depends on how efficient their engines are.... with very low endurance, such vessels are of little use....

the Chamsuri-class boats probably also went through some conversion to be useful for patrol purpose....

this is BNS Tista (P315) in front.... in August 2016 ...... 60+ years in service!!!! :yahoo:

it was was built as PBR 505, a Type 501 Kraljevica-class patrol boat for the Yugoslav Navy in 1956... she, along with her sister ship BNS Karnaphuli (P314) was transferred to BN on 6 June 1975.... she was recommissioned in 1995 after re-engining....

the point here is, ships much younger had been retired.... like the Type 062 boats that were retired recently...

the quality of their maintenance have to be admired.....
