Patchesagain: Your Navy's own experience. “The Navy's experience with the strike craft demonstrated that 60 m is precisely the wrong hull length for SA waters: Shorter and the ride is lively but dry; longer and the ride is more comfortable and dry. At 60 m it is uncomfortable and wet, with real risk of damage in rough seas. Remember how many of the strike craft found themselves inadvertently doing a submarine crash dive imitation in rough seas." Even for an MPV, an ideal MPV is between 45m - 55m length. 1 Like 1 Share |

Patchesagain: Envy..... Are you high? Have you fvcking seen our shipping industry, it is massive. Ladol shipyard is the largest in Africa. I simply have nothing to be envious about. The navy has at-least 500 vessels across it's 3 commands. I just want to make common sense. I'm pointing out the type of vessels your Navy intends to purchase at 60meters, is just wrong. Every other intelligent folk would agree with me. 1 Like |

Henry240: 1. Who says largest in Africa? 2. You keep saying this... but when I ask you to account for these 500 "vessels" you go quite. 3. Our Navy, the CSIR and our Maritime Research center disagrees with you. You are quite obviously envious 1 Like |

Patchesagain: Tell us about ladol and its development. The free zones in Nigeria are quite similar to those in Dubai . Dubai started its free zones with bare land and had different zones to focus on different sectors. Similarly ladol has been built from scratch. It is a 100% private development, and we focus on high-value industrial projects, where the inputs or outputs – or the process – is expensive. These are generally projects that value at hundreds of millions of dollars and, because the projects are either so valuable or so difficult to do, they typically haven’t been done in Africa before. We focus on that end of the market because we know that if we can create an environment where those projects can be done in Nigeria, it will have a huge multiplier effect. An example of one such development is our shipyard. We built a US$300m shipyard, and that is the largest vessel integration yard in Africa. Right now we are involved in a project where we are building a $3.8bn offshore oil and gas vessel, and that is going to enable, for the first time in Nigeria’s history, a vessel of this kind to be birthed onshore in Nigeria. This means that instead of the entire project being centred around an offshore location – either in America or more recently in South Korea – all of the work can now be done in Nigeria. What is the impact of this? |

Patchesagain: Your boat is not an IPV, It is also not an MPV, It surely isn't an OPV. This procurement happens when a bunch of uneducated Zulus are promoted without assessing their mental capacity to provide the required skills to do the job. 1 Like 1 Share |

iblawi: 25m vessels are useless in RSA waters - sea is too rough and ranges are too long. While the vessels the IPVs are replacing are 48m and 60m |

Henry240: Yet again, You make a fallacious argument: Henry240: Yet that is not what heitman said! Quote what he said! Dude, you cant even maintain a consisten argument! And the Admiral who runs the project is an old Apartheid Era White man... so that ruins your racist arguments! Whilst finally, we see our selves in the position where Henry is saying that the word of one man beats all the studies and opinions of all other scientists and Admirals!! This reeks of petty envy to me |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 12:29pm On Feb 05, 2016 |
Henry240: Because of sea conditions - as confirmed by the Admiral in charge of the Operation. IPVs will cover the current roles of the Warrior Class (60m) and the River Class (48m) Hence the IPV will be sized inbetween these two vessels!! While the OPV's will provide a new capability of a Frigate sized vessel for long range patrolling. The Admiral in charge is an old white man... so that also wrecks your racist "dull zulu's" argument [size=15pt]I think its pretty disgusting that you are having to make up stuff (only getting 3, they will be 60m) just for the sake of having an argument [/size] 1 Like |
