Chile Celebrates the Commissioning of the Almirante Condell

(Source: UK Ministry of Defence; issued May 29, 2008)



Chile officially welcomed the Almirante Condell (the former-HMS Marlborough) into the Chilean fleet at a Commissioning Ceremony yesterday, Wednesday 28 May 2008.

The former HMS Marlborough was re-named the Almirante Condell and the Director General of Procurement, Vice-Admiral Cristian Jantes, officially invested her new commanding officer, Captain Jorge Cruz at Her Majesty’s Naval Base, Portsmouth.

The vessel is the last of three former Royal Navy Type-23 frigates to be handed over to Chile, under a £134 million pound sales agreement arranged by the MOD’s Disposal Services Authority (DSA) and signed in September 2005. She joins her sister ships in the Chilean Navy, the former HMS Norfolk and former HMS Grafton, handed over in November 2006 and March 2007 respectively.

Attending the Commissioning Ceremony, the 1st Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Jonathon Band said:
"I am delighted to be here today to mark this important event. The Royal Navy and the Chilean Navy have enjoyed a long history of close co-operation that endures to the present day.
"The commissioning of the former HMS Marlborough is another milestone in the long tradition of our naval links with Chile.
"I wish Captain Cruz and his Ship’s Company good fortune as they embark on the next phase of this programme."

HM Ships Norfolk, Grafton and Marlborough were declared surplus to the Royal Navy’s requirements in 2004 following a review of assets against operational demands.

Under the 2005 agreement, BAE Systems was appointed as the Prime Contractor to carry out a major programme of refurbishment and reactivation work to equip the ships to the Chilean Navy’s exact requirements.

DSU Tests New Submarine Rescue System with Chilean Submarine


(Source: US Navy; issued September 20, 2008)



SAN DIEGO --- The Navy's Deep Submergence Unit tested a new system known as the submarine rescue diving and recompression system (SRDRS) with the Chilean submarine CS Simpson (SS-21) Sept. 17-18.

The SRDS is designed to be rapidly deployed to any location in the world via air or ground and can be installed on military or commercial vessels when a call for assistance is received. It will replace the de-activated deep submergence rescue vehicle (DSRV) system as the Navy's premier submarine rescue capability.

"The SRDRS is the U.S. Navy's 21st century submarine rescue system and represents state-of-the-art technology for submarine rescue systems," said Lt. Rich Ray, the former engineering officer of the rescue submarine Mystic (DSRV 1).

According to Ray, the SRDRS is designed to be mobilized, installed on a transport vehicle, transported to a site and mated to a distressed submarine to begin rescues within a maximum of 72 hours.

During the exercise, and with operators inside, the pressurized rescue module (PRM) was remotely controlled via a topside control console on board USNS Navajo (T-ATF 169). Next, the PRM descended more than 400 feet to the Chilean submarine CS Simpson (SS-21) and mated with the escape hatch. Once the simulated transfer of personnel was completed, the PRM detached from the submarine and ascended to the surface. The PRM was then recovered from the sea and craned onto a deck cradle installed aboard Navajo.

Upon recovery, the PRM docked with the submarine decompression system (SDS). Personnel were then transferred to the SDS from the PRM via a pressurized flexible man-way to undergo decompression.

"It was an awesome experience to work with the Chilean Navy," said DSU Machinist's Mate 2nd Class (SS) Chris Huffstetler. "I believe it is beneficial to work with foreign navies in case something really happens…we can provide immediate support."

The SRDRS concept of operations has been developed to support rescue of up to 155 personnel from a pressurized disabled submarine. The PRM accommodates 16 rescued personnel per trip and requires two operators and a diving medical technician.

"The operation was a phenomenal success thanks to the cooperation of the entire crew," said Cmdr. Larry R. Lintz, deputy commander for submarine escape at Commander, Submarine Development Squadron 5. "Now we can officially say, the SRDRS is the Navy's official submarine rescue system."

Parabens ao chilenos e à sua politica de renovação da sua frota, muito feliz de compras de oportunidade, de modo a ficarem com uma marinha adequada e dentro das possibilidades, muito multidisciplinar, com fragatas compradas cirurgicamente, com cada classe para os seus fins.

Lancado o segundo Navio Patrulha do Chile





Interessante o lancamento do navio a noite

[Rui Elias Maltez]

E com certeza de que não tem limalhas.

[Marino]

Por qual motivo cerimônia a noite?

Por qual motivo cerimônia a noite?

Almirante, os chilenos especularam que foi por motivos da agenda da Bachelet.
Voce tambem reparou que levaram apena 11 meses para construir-lo?

Quando o primeiro, Piloto Pardo, estava sendo construído, este também estava em construção.
Há um programa, se não me engano, de 4 ou 6 navios destes, já em construção.

[SUT]

Estimado Marino, la hora de la botadura fue debido a las mareas, que en Talcahuano tienen algunos extremos. Como anecdota hubo tb un problema en el aparejo de largado, y despues de la ceremonia tomo mas de 20 minutos que llegara, efectivamente, al mar.

Los PZM son un diseño Fassmer, de los que se espera construir inicialmente dos batches de dos buques cada uno. Los otros dos se estan planificando por estos meses, aunque los compromisos comerciales de la grada de construccion de ASMAR Talcahuano, asi como un buque oceanografico de 3500 tons para la Armada pueden postergarlos algun tiempo.

Por lo demas, ayer 21 llego a Valparaiso la tercera Fragata Type 23, la Condell, completando el numero de buques para la Escuadra en 8 fragatas modernas.

se confirmo en la conferencia de prensa, la inminente asignacion del petrolero Higgins, de la clase Henry J Kaiser y la llegada el 2009 del primer Casa 295 MPA. Estos se espera sean ocho, en dos lotes de tres ( ya contratado) y cincoaparatos, que reemplazaran los P3 , P111 y CASA 212 de la Aviacion Naval.
