DSEI 2023: FSS, Arctic Frigate, Mine Laying system, Decoy Launcher

[@Saffi____]

I swear nothing comes close to naval design. There are so many different designs but each ship or class of ships are unique. This is why I love naval ships no matter where or when they come from.

[@GermanGreetings]

I think exactly the same :)

[@kimkristensen2816]

The fregat design is to replace the 4 Danish Thetis class which was launched 1989 through 1991 and are long overdue. OSK designed the current 30 marine homeguard vessels that are also soon to be replaced, hopefully with a slightly bigger, faster and more capable vessel.

I like the rotating Decoy Launcher idea.

[@lukeallison3713]

Remember back in the day, practically every ship in the rfa, and the lpd fleet of the RN etc were all ffbnw sea wolf or earlier than this, equipped with Sea Cat. Might be a very prudent measure for the RN

[@OleBrumHonning]

Looks a little like the fdi frigatt

[@1zanglang]

That mine laying system relies on high tech mines. Moored mines have several safeties which must be removed before launch, and almost certainly, they need human operators to perform the job. As it looks this launcher leaves low space for an operator to work on mines.

Mines have come a long way. They're very advanced now with preprogrammed acoustic signature triggers and whatnot. The days where a guy has to pull a pin are long gone, at least for modern navies.

@@mysterioanonymous3206 Yeah, right...

[@ianmcsherry5254]

I think, strictly speaking, "FSS" stands for Fleet Solid Support, not Fleet Support Ship. Otherwise, interesting video as always. 👍

[@Lyle-In-NO]

Who builds the model ships? Artists? Engineers? Both?

[@tighthead1000]

Arctic ship with a bulbous bow? I'm gathering its not designed for ice?

NATO is coming to an arctic theatre near Russian fascists !

[@jackedwards3426]

Thought sea mines were banned

[@stokersruleok5863]

Only for the Russians, it’s good for everyone else.

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

Why do you think that?

[@jackedwards3426]

@@theoneandonlysoslappy cause they drift and can go into shipping lanes - cause you can’t control which ships they sink

[@theoneandonlysoslappy]

@@jackedwards3426 No, I mean, why do you think they are banned? Has there been some recent treaty?
