Royal Navy

[FCarvalho]

E nós? Pequeno, médio ou grande? Começo a acreditar que nem uma coisa e nem outra. Porque se os ingleses com toda essa crise na área de defesa ainda mantém seus dois Nae a todo custo, como vamos nós aqui que sequer temos consciência da valia estratégica do mar a nossa frente pensar em dispor de uma esquadra digna do nome e ainda manter Nae e seus grupos embarcados?

Babcock completes Type 31 whole ship preliminary design review

06 AUGUST 2020

The Ministry of Defence's Type 31 frigate programme has passed a significant milestone in its development, with a comprehensive review of the ship’s design having been completed.

What is known as the Whole Ship Preliminary Design Review (WSPDR) was completed, virtually, by 15 experts during ten days of scrutiny, which provided a key indicator of the compliance, maturity and engineering risk in proceeding to the next Detailed Design phase.

The WSPDR was carried out virtually over a period of ten days by an independent board to review the design and quiz the engineering team. Contributors from the British Ministry of Defence also attended the event.

The independent board were impressed with the rate of progress made since contract award in November 2019, and the level of technical maturity of the design. The Engineering team in particular, and all contributors to the successful WSPDR, are to be commended for their efforts.

Progress on the Type 31 programme continues at pace. Babcock’s Rosyth facility has seen significant investment in the last decade and is embarking on a new era of digitising facilities and systems to bring advancements and efficiencies into the manufacturing, build and assembly process for the frigates. This includes the installation of additional Advanced Manufacturing capability and the construction of a new assembly hall capable of housing two Type 31 frigates. Groundbreaking for the new hall took place in April, signalling the commencement of the civil works programme.

About Babcock Type 31 frigates:

The Type 31 (Arrowhead 140) will offer the Royal Navy a new class of ship with a proven ability to deliver a range of peacekeeping, humanitarian and warfighting capabilities whilst offering communities and supply chains throughout the UK a wide range of economic and employment opportunities.

Arrowhead 140 will offer the Royal Navy a new class of ship with a proven ability to deliver a range of peacekeeping, humanitarian and warfighting capabilities whilst offering communities and supply chains throughout the UK a wide range of economic and employment opportunities. Arrowhead 140 is based on the proven Iver Huitfeldt-class of a frigate of the Royal Danish Navy, designed by OMT, and adapted to Royal Navy requirement by Babcock and BMT. Thales will supply the combat management system of Type 31.

It can reach the maximum speed of 28 knots and has an endurance of 9,000 nautical miles.

The armament of the ship comprises VLS Sea Ceptor anti-air missiles, 1x57 mm Mk 110 main gun and 2x40mm Mk 4 secondary guns. Sensors and processing systems onboard are the TACTICOS combat management system, Thales NS110 3D radar, SharpEye navigation radar, 2 Mirador Mk2 EOS and the Vigile-D ESM.

The frigate can accommodate an 80-100 crew, 1 × Wildcat or 1 × Merlin, 6 TEUs and 4 boat bays for RHIBs and USVs/UUVs. The ship is also fitted with a helicopter hangar and a flight deck.

A Royal Navy só está desenvolvendo 2 tipos de fragatas e um novo submarino SSBN simultaneamente.
E recebendo novos SSN, porta-aviões e F-35, dentre outras coisas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_the_Royal_Navy
Nada mal para uma marinha decadente

Interessante essa medida:

Senior Personnel changes
The Sunday Times reported that First Sea Lord Admiral Tony Radakin was considering reducing the number of Rear-Admirals at Navy Command by five.[135] The fighting arms excluding Commandant General Royal Marines would be reduced to 1-star or Commodore rank and the surface flotillas would be combined together.[136] Training would be concentrated under the Fleet Commander.[137] For example, Flag Officer Sea Training will be reduced from a Rear-Admiral position to a Commodore position and be re titled as 'Commander Fleet Operational Sea Training'.[138]

Não dá ideia Penguin... vai que a moda pega aqui.

A Marinha Portuguesa precisava duma medida semelhante, parasitas a mais para tão poucos navios

Muito investimento simultâneo acaba afetando a operacionalidade.
Mas, se precisarem, têm os meios a disposição.

Se surgisse uma crise a la Malvinas, estaria a RN mais preparada para enfrentar essa situação que em 82?
Creio que sim.

De fato a frota encolheu, mas os navios atuais são muito maiores, bem mais sofisticados e capazes. E é a 5 maior marinha do mundo, depois de EUA, Russia, China e Japão.

Today, Britain has the 5th largest navy behind the USA, Russia, China, and Japan. It currently possesses 74 vessels including 2 aircraft carriers, 6 destroyers, 13 frigates, 11 submarines, 2 commando assault ships, 13 MCM vessels, 22 patrol boats and 5 survey ships.

[FCarvalho]

Se a Royal Navy apenas com os números atuais - que realmente não são grande coisas - é considerada a 5a maior marinha do mundo, com todos os problemas que ela tem, imagina se o PEAMB de dez anos atrás tivesse saído do papel.
Hoje nós seríamos a maior potência naval abaixo do Equador, e acima na frente de toda a Europa.
