What's new

MPVs (Four 600 T, Two 1500T) for the PMSA - Discussions

Looks like 1500 Ton mpv is mini f22p with option to add missile launchers if and when needed per stated acquisition docs

Navy is the parent branch of msa so in need these ship can be turned into missile craft/ships with help capability of not having hanger a telescopic hanger like on Dutch opv can be added ??

Telescopic Helicopter Hangars
Curtiss-Wright Controls, Engineered Systems - Marine Defense is the world’s largest supplier of telescopic shipboard helicopter hangars, as well as the highly specialized doors that these hangars require.

Maximizing space and minimizing top weight aboard naval vessels is a priority, and CWCES-MD’s expandable hangars precisely address this challenge. In addition to providing lightweight, space-saving security for aircraft between missions, CWCES-MD’s patented telescopic hangars can be designed for a low radar cross section (RLS). Unique configurations and rugged aluminum alloy construction provide maximum protection, enabling these hangars to withstand severe shock waves and blast overpressures.

The CWCES-MD telescopic helicopter hangar design comprises one or more coaxial sections retracting within a fixed section. The extended length, retracted length, minimum headroom and clear door opening are sized to suit the specified helicopter to be operated on-board the ship, and the overall deck space available for launch and recovery.

Over the past 25 years, CWCES-MD has supplied more than 200 telescopic hangars to navies around the world.

I think one of the type 21 being retired also transferred to msa as Mothership it will loose heavy weapons and get 30mm stations along with 12.7 mm and other msa needed equipment and perhaps supported by spare from remaining type when they start retiring in next couple of years , 054 will be delivered by 2021 ish

types 21s are almost done. if all ships are retired then may be one or two will possibly be operated by MSA.

It was on pmsa website or navy website that one type 21 being transferred ?? Most probably 054a delivery will lead to retirement of type 21 by 2021 guessing
