Não seria má compra na falta de melhor, trata-se de um navio contemporãneoo das nossas fragatas, mas tem 2 contras: Os 14 nós de velocidade que comprometem uma frota uma emergência, e um deslocamento bem mais pequeno que o do Bérrio.

Agora se fosse o Patiño... outro galo cantaria.

[P44]

pois mas o patiño é novo demais e muita areia para a carroça, não estou a ver os espanhois a livrarem-se dele tão cedo...por falar nisso como andará o "cantábria"????

[Rui Elias Maltez]

Acho que está em adiantado estado de construção, e sem limalhas ao que parece, mas os amigos espanhois talvez tenham melhores informações.

Navy warships to get new engines


The navy's two Anzac frigates are about to get new main engines as part of their mid-life upgrade.

The first of the warships, HMNZS Te Kaha, was launched in Melbourne in 1995 and commissioned into the navy two years later.

Its sister ship HMNZS Te Mana, was launched in 1997 and commissioned in Tauranga in 1999.

Both ships were fitted with two gas turbines similar to those fitted to Boeing 747 aircraft, and two diesel engines, giving them a top speed of close to 30 knots.

Four new engines for the two ships were due to arrive in Auckland at the Devonport Naval Base this week.

The new engines would cost $7 million for each ship when they were fitted, said Captain Fred Keating, assistant chief of navy (capability).

He said the new engines would give better performance and fuel economy at up to 18 or 19 knots until the gas turbines kicked in for high-speed runs.

He said in the 10 years since the 3600-tonne ships were commissioned they had "grown" by up to two tonnes a year as more capability was added.

"That is extra weight we have to move."

Some parts from the old engines would be canibalised for the new engines. The old engine carcasses had a high residual value and would be sold, he said. Te Kaha would be fitted with new engines in a 16-week refit in the middle of next year and Te Mana would follow.

To get the new engines into the engine rooms the Seasparrow missiles behind the funnel would be removed.

He said with only two frigates the navy had to balance availability with defence demands.

Navy Takes Delivery of Offshore Patrol Vessel

Chief of Navy, Rear-Admiral Tony Parr and Ministry of Defence Project Director Gary Collier formally accepted the Offshore Patrol Vessel, HMNZS OTAGO, into the Royal New Zealand Navy at a ceremony in Melbourne today.

“OTAGO and her sister ship WELLINGTON will deliver the Navy substantial new capability to undertake Exclusive Economic Zone patrols, surveillance and military operations around New Zealand, the southern ocean and the Pacific,” said Admiral Parr.

“OTAGO and WELLINGTON have the capability to operate further offshore than our existing patrol vessels, stay at sea longer, and conduct more challenging operations – using their helicopter capability, sea-boats and embarked forces.”

Rear-Admiral Parr said it was no secret the Navy had waited longer than planned to get the ships.

“The Navy is now focused on getting these ships into service to do the jobs they were designed for. We’re confident the issues around the ships’ weight, which have contributed to delays in acceptance, can be managed so they can successfully carry out their missions. We wouldn’t have accepted the ships otherwise.”

HMNZS OTAGO is the sixth ship in the Project Protector fleet. Acceptance of OPV WELLINGTON into naval service is expected in April.

Admiral Parr said that with the delivery of OTAGO and WELLINGTON the Navy will be operating a fleet of 12 modern, hi-tech and highly capable ships.

“With the completion of Project Protector the Navy can deliver the full range of maritime military capability from combat and security missions to peacekeeping, border patrol and humanitarian and disaster relief,” said Admiral Parr.

The delivery crew of HMNZS OTAGO will now undertake safety and operational preparations for her voyage to New Zealand. We expect OTAGO to arrive at Devonport Naval Base toward the end of March where she will be welcomed with appropriate ceremony.”

The Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) has given further details, including winterisation features, of the new 24,000-tonne fleet tanker that will replace HMNZS Endeavour, which is due to retire in 2019.

The details were revealed in an interview with IHS Jane's in November 2016 during a visit to Auckland for the service's 75th anniversary celebrations.

The New Zealand government announced in July 2016 that it has approved the RNZN's plans to acquire a new fleet tanker for NZD493 million (USD342 million).

"The RNZN's requirements called for a platform capable of sustaining a task force with marine and aviation fuel, dry stores, food, water, and ammunition, but also incorporating a limited sealift capacity to support ground forces and undertake humanitarian assistance and disaster relief [HADR] operations," said Commander Des Tiller, project director of the fleet tanker acquisition programme at the RNZN.

"We also stipulated that the ship should capable of carrying out missions in the challenging Antarctic environment as far south as the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound, and be able to operate in weather conditions up to Sea State 9 and conduct unrestricted RAS [replenishment-at-sea] and helicopter operations in Sea State 5," he said.

The RNZN initiated its plans to procure a multipurpose replenishment platform to replace the 1988-build Endeavour in 2012.

A request for information (RFI) for the platform was issued in April 2013 under the country's Maritime Sustainment Capability (MSC) project, while a request for tender (RFT) was released in March 2015.

Tender responses were submitted by South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in a teaming arrangement with BMT Defence Services, Germany's Flensburger Shipyard, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) in partnership with Rolls-Royce, and the Spanish state-owned shipbuilder Navantia.

Following a competitive tender process, HHI was selected in December 2015 as the preferred bidder, and was awarded the contract in July 2016.

O HMNZS Aotearoa é um navio de Capacidade de Sustentação Marítima (MSC) destinado ao uso pela Força de Defesa da Nova Zelândia sob o braço marítimo. Este novo navio-tanque estará substituindo o HMNZS Endeavor, um navio veterano na RNZN programado para o descomissionamento em um futuro próximo.
Com a construção em andamento no estaleiro Hyundai Heavy Industries da Coréia do Sul, este navio-tanque será o maior da frota da RNZN e está equipado com aço reforçado destinado para uma ampla gama de operações da Força de Defesa da Nova Zelândia na Antártida. Esta tecnologia de ponta, juntamente com um sonar FarSounder-1000 a bordo, tornam o HMNZS Aotearoa o navio perfeito para assumir estas funções após o envelhecimento natural e descomissionamento doHMNZS Endeavour.

Além disso, o navio-tanque será adequado para várias missões, desde o apoio logístico à proteção marítima, à ajuda humanitária e assistência em desastres. O sonar inovador da FarSounder será um complemento primordial para a embarcação de 24.000 toneladas métricas, uma vez que realiza operações em zonas de desastre com detritos perigosos e mudança de fundo do mar. Também será importante em missões no sempre desafiador ambiente antártico.
O revendedor sul-coreano da FarSounder, Oceantech Co., é o facilitador deste projeto responsável por fornecer o FarSounder-1000 para instalação. A data de entrega prevista da embarcação para seu porto de origem em New Plymouth é janeiro de 2020, com operações iniciadas em março de 2021.
Sobre a HMNZS Aotearoa
HMNZS Aotearoa substituirá o navio-tanque da frota HMNZS Endeavour, que será desativado no próximo ano, após mais de 30 anos de serviço leal. O Aotearoa terá características de design e capacidade de última geração, incluindo recursos de fortalecimento de gelo e ‘winterization’ para operações na Antártida. Ela também será capaz de transportar 12 contêineres de suprimentos e tem a capacidade de produzir 100 toneladas de água doce por dia, o que a tornará inestimável ao fornecer ajuda humanitária.
Ela carregará 8 mil toneladas de óleo diesel, o suficiente para “encher” uma fragata como Te Mana ou Te Kaha 13,87 vezes. E será capaz de transportar e operar um helicóptero RNZAF NH90. O Aotearoa terá uma equipe principal de 64 marinheiros mais 11 tripulantes
A embarcação de 24.000 toneladas está prestes a se tornar a maior embarcação já operada pela Marinha Real da Nova Zelândia. Será lançado em março do próximo ano e entrará em serviço em 2021.
O ministro da Defesa da Nova Zelândia, Gerry Brownlee, anunciou em julho de 2016 que o HHI da Coréia do Sul foi o vencedor do contrato para construir e entregar um novo navio-tanque para a Marinha Real da Nova Zelândia. A HHI bateu o rival DSME no valor do leilão perto de US $ 500 milhões.
Os requisitos originais, elaborados pela Marinha da Nova Zelândia, incluíam a capacidade de reabastecer e sustentar a Força-Tarefa Conjunta no mar, bem como a capacidade de apoiar as forças terrestres, assistência humanitária e missões de socorro em catástrofes. região do Pacífico.

A foto mostra uma estação CIWS Phalanx à proa. Os americanos permitem tal armamento para a Nova Zelandia, enquanto o proíbem aqui no Brasil.
O único CIWS Phalanx da MB, que veio no NDCC Mattoso Maia, está permanentemente inoperante.
.

[saullo]

A MB já falou publicamente que não opera o CIWS Phalanx porque os EUA não deixam ?
Ou seria apenas porque não tem interesse em gastar parcos recursos em um meio sabidamente tido como caro de manter ?
Porque muitas vezes, no Brasil, jogamos no colo de terceiros nossas próprias incompetências e fraquezas.
Vivemos a terceirizar nossas eternas debilidades.
Então queria que alguém do meio esclarecesse isso pra todos nós.

Key Points
Hyundai has laid down a 173 m fleet tanker on order for the Royal New Zealand Navy
Country is on track to receive the vessel, which will support global deployments of the New Zealand Defence Force, by 2020
South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has laid down the fleet tanker on order for the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN).

Keel for the vessel, which will be in service as HMNZS Aotearoa (A 12) once commissioned, was laid down on 13 August at HHI’s facilities in Ulsan, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) announced via an official social publishing platform on the same day. The tanker was acquired under a NZD493 million (USD323 million) contract announced in 2016.

Once completed, Aotearoa will displace 24,000 tonnes with an overall length of 166 m, an overall beam of 24.5 m, and a design draught of 8.5 m – making it the largest vessel to be operated by the RNZN. The tanker will incorporate an ‘axe bow’ design in its forward section for fuel efficiency, has a top speed of 16 kt, and a maximum range of 6,750 n miles.

The ship, which has been described by the NZDF as one that is “built specifically to address global requirements of the New Zealand Defence Force and government agencies for deployment from Antarctica to the Arabian Gulf”, will have liquid cargo capacity for 8,000 tonnes of diesel fuel, 1,550 tonnes of aviation fuel, and 250 tonnes of fresh water. Fuel for vessels can be delivered via two NATO-compliant replenishment-at-sea (RAS) masts, one each on the port and starboard sides.

Besides fuels and conventional cargo, the tanker can also accommodate up to 12 standardised 20 ft containers, four of which can contain dangerous goods such as ammunition. The ship will be equipped with a winterised crane that can lift to 25 tonnes.
