[@cubismo85]

Having served with the Swedish Navy for a year, this is my points from this video: 1. Air defense was intended from the start but was cut due to costs. 2. The helicopter-deck with the helicopter on defeats the whole purpose of the ship, being stealth. Only when the chopper is gone and the transmitter is removed, the ship is stealth. 3. The stealth-capabilities are far from 100% altho much better then most conventional ships. More modern radar will have easier time picking up the signature. 4. Reloading the ship missiles requires the ship to enter a dock, and the process itself is very cumbersome as the missile launchers are integrated into the structure itself. 5. The cost for this type of ship is very high, one could debate whether or not it would be better to upgrade several of the existing older models instead of constructing new ones. For Sweden, i would argue quantity is more important. 6. 3:00 The bridge is truly amazing with a 360 degree angle of view, something which lacked on the older models (usually they had about 270 degree view angle) 7. 3:51 The CIC was highly classified while i was serving. It was strictly forbidden to take photos and visiting relatives were not allowed inside. And i served on a warship constructed in 1985 (HMS Stockholm). With that in mind i find it boggling that everyone on KZbin gets a first hand sightseeing of the technology used aboard the most modern ship in the Swedish Navy. 8. 5:50 The kitchen is the most important place on the whole ship.

[@znail4675]

2. Yes, that is why they don't have a helicopter as standard, but it's more so that one can land there if needed. The deck is not really designed for holding a helicopter permanently either and when one was sent abroad with a helicopter along it had to be modified to make the helicopter more safe.

[@HealTheWorldasap]

It's pretty insane they cut the air defense due to cost! Debatably air defense is even more important than the anti-ship missles if they still have torpedos... I mean not even a CIWS?!? 🤯

[@johan.edlund]

@@HealTheWorldasapThe 57 mm gun is quite good at air defence, it is a development of the 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun used during WW2. Also, combining stealth and air defence is a challenge since you can detect a ship sending out radar signals with passive sensors at a much greater distance than you can detect another ship with radar. From a cost perspective they were not that bad, just a little more expansive than the finnish Hamina class missile boats.

[@mukkaar]

Point 2 doesn't matter. You would not have helicopter on this vessel when operating normally. I mean with any vessel of this size, helicopters are on there just when it's needed.

Showed us most of the ship and how it's organized skillfully .... but am still wondering why the trail of steam out of the back end? Would be easy to mask that, so makes me wonder if it's part of it's stealth camouflage?

[@stanislavmarinov]

Maybe the reason for that are the exhaust pipes of the gas turbines (the propulsion system consists of 2 diesel engines and 4 gas turbines). And if the exhaust pipes are underwater, to decrease the IR signature, the hot gases heat the water and create a small steam trail. But that's an assumption, of course.

[@MrSchwabentier]

it is intentional. They dissipate the exhaust gases into the wake of the ship. That creates this "cloud" but it massively reduces the heat-signature of the ship making it stealthier in terms of IR-tracking

[@johan.edlund]

@MrSchwabentier Not only that, but they also inject seawater into the exhaust system to cool the exhaust. The divinyl core carbon fibre sandvich construction also help reducing the heat signature, and make the vessel hull non-magnetic.

curious about the powertrain

[@carlalm6100]

CODOG (Combined Diesel OR Gas Turbine) arrangement, two MTU 16V 2000 N90 diesels for low speed and four Vericor TF-50 gas turbines for high speed. Two reduction gears, two turbines and one diesel if connected to each. The reduction gears is then connected to two water jets from KaMeWa. Total power using diesels is around 2,6MW. Using gas turbines it's about 16MW.

Very cool ship . But it appears that is is missing point self defense cannons for close in defense . But there probly just hidden .

[@mathiasmoller1989]

The 57mm does that. In addition the will be installed with CAMM in a year or two.

[@jimmiekarlsson4458]

Like the other person said, 57 mm can defend somewhat against that. However, this vessel in war time probably aint traveling alone. They probably have a swedish diesel submarine close to its location for defense against other vessels.

[@MarkRobotham-i3n]

Actually my question is why do we always show off the latest and greatest in such detail.

[@MrSchwabentier]

Because a) it’s not the latest tech, it’s 20 years old, b) deterrence only works with knowledge and c) there isn’t anything shown here that’s valuable to an enemy anyways

Visby was earlier. They built the first in 2000 while the Zumwalt started its desing period in 2005.

[@maritia4577]

the crew is about 200/300.?

[@rockfella1377]

How about 60 max. This is a corvette, not a frigate.

[@joakimbarkstrom9679]

43 to be more exact.
