75M Corvette - Offshore Patrol Vessel of the Future

Swiftships’ 75 Meter Offshore Patrol Vessel is an all welded aluminum or steel vessel built in accordance to A.B.S regulations. This proven hull and platform based control package can provide the intelligence and reconnaissance to out-class the weapons and/or strategy of any threat. The OPV is a highly versatile ship, designed to perform Economic Exclusion Zone management roles, including the provision of maritime security to coastal areas. High speed launching wells can out-perform any threat and provide platform protection to patrol on/off shore facilities. The fully integrated bridge unit can be configured for a variety of missions including rescue and assault. These specifications can be modified in accordance to the operator’s preference and needs.

I like this idea of keeping the RIBs under cover. Yes, it's designed for stealth, but it also means that maintenance can be carried out in the warm and dry, and not outside in the rain.

The armament is pretty similar to the German K130 class corvettes. Those have one 76mm main gun, two 27mm machine cannons, two RIM-116 rocket launchers each with 21 missiles as CIWS and four RBS-15-MK3 surface-to-surface missiles against ships and land targets. Optionally they can also lay mines.

[@snapdragon9300]

+David Fisher No, i prefer River class adaptions like Irish Navy and thier New Zealand Opv cousins. These Usa ones are basically gun platforms. Even us kiwis operate sh2 I class seasprites armed with penguin missles. And have a ice strenghthened hull for Antarctic waters and sea state 6. And cranes, Vertrep capable, holds up to a platoon level of soldiers. This ship is toast in those rough seas.

[@sparkknocker6222]

Yes, I agree. Remove the anti-ship missiles and the rear ramp systems. Install a mini VLS with 4-6 Penguins and short range anti-sub rockets, expand the side RHIB to fit two 7 meter instead on one ( the second could be on a track system to slide it into launch position) on either beam. Keep the forward weapons arrangement. This will give this vessel a better multi mission capability and deploy a platoon of marines instead of two squads.

[@MrChickennugget360]

US should just buy what other countries are using. Ships get a lot cheaper when they are bought in bulk. Once the USA is involved well over 100 Ships can be built and watch the costs fall though the floor.

[@snapdragon9300]

MR.Chickennuget 360 Exactly. Trumps all talk about expanding the military, then he pisses on Boeng and Lockheed for the cost? So simple, do a competitive tender, like every other western nation does.

Please tell me it is not completely Aluminium. If it is then the bridge, gun control station and engine spaces are armored to at least 40mm API shells. If not the thing is one strafing run or concealed auto cannon away from being a flaming wreak. Pretty boat but pretty does not stop incoming.

how much $$$ to buy it w/o armorment? how much to operate it??

[@tyjoseph7343]

The Swiftships 75M OPV/Corvette uses a shorter haul but otherwise has an identical design to Lockheed Martin's Littoral Combat Ship. Lockheed's LCS costs $348 million at full rate production. The LCS is larger, has a slightly better surface radar and more munition/weapons systems stores for anti-surface warfare and mine countermeasures. The Swiftships 75m OPV will probably cost $230 million at most, but if say 6 or more of the ships are ordered, the cost per ship would more than likely go down to around $200 million at most or possibly as low as $175 million. The 75m OPV is powered by two MTU 20V4000 flex fuel/multi-fuel diesel engines in the Littoral Mission Ship variant, and powered by four of the 20V4000 engines in the Corvette variant. Fuel consumption at cruising speed with power at 50% is 321.7 L/Hr per engine. Since it can burn Diesel, Biodiesel, Bio-kerosene, Ethanol, or Gasoline, the fuel costs are relatively low in comparison to other OPV/LCS ships. Overall, at around $0.70 per L for the most economic fuel mix, operating the vessel for 2 days/(48 hours) at sea would put the fuel cost around $22,000.00 for the LMS version & $44,000.00 for the Corvette version. Fuel costs make up around 45% to 50% of a ship's total operating cost, so it's safe to say it would cost in the realm of $46,400.00 per day to operate the Corvette variant. Assuming the ship is at sea and operational for 320 out of the 365 days in a year, the ship's annual operating cost is probably around $14.8 Million for the Corvette variant and $7.4 Million for the pure OPV/LMS variant. In comparison, it apparently costs nearly $6.5 million per day to operate the new U.S.S Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier. Of course she has a crew of 6,700 versus an the mere crew of 65 on an OPV. Nonetheless, That's still equal to a cost of $2.3 billion per year to operate only one ship!!

It also nice if they can add torpedos for anti submarine or the Saab company product I forgot the name I'm sorry which is shot like a gatling gun 4 units, 2 on each side that has a 32 rounds that is shot if a submarine is spotted. The mortar type has a magnetic tip that will stick to a submarine if it passes to it and explode. It can be reloaded manually with in 8 minutes. If does not a torpedo for anti submarine that Saab product is the best substitute since its way cheaper and can be easily reloaded. If they have it in this boat model then this is suitable for Philippine navy. Cheaper but complete package and very deadly.

This is a sweat ship. The size seem to b as small & cheap as u can get & still land a helo(big advantage). The slide out hangar is very cool. It has ram air def & a 76mm big boy. These seem the perfect fit for there patrol, resuce, & port def. How it is to work on them may b a diff story. The 3 ribs design is brilliant. It it had some kind of domed radar & elev tower it would b perfect. These would sell, every 1 could use these unless they decided to go just a little bigger w/the Corvetts. If a war broke out & the scope of duties increased to sub, sonar( saab attack) & 150 mile range, I think it would need to b the large class. So u hve 2 way cost & # of boats against needing more Frigates then. It u hve a lot of coast like us & Australia I think they r great. But if u hve a lot of sea & ocean work & small navy the class is a compromise. This is as close as u can cut it & hve the helo & underway refueling. I like the class & think w/all the bells & whistles & weapons these can count more toward the Navy & less just patrol.
