tdayof: A fully fit Aradu is one of the most powerful ships in Nigeria. The boat has at-least 20-25 years of service in her. When the refit is finally done, we would know. |

tdayof: A good Seaward Defence Boat, IPV or MPV or whatever name individual countries decide to call that class of vessel has to be between 35 meters - 45 meters. 50 meters would also do. Senegal's Navy OPV190 is 58 meters in length. It looks aesthetically beautiful, but can it do the job it has been built for...... I don't think so. NESL in theory can design and build vessels like that, however in reality, they would not. The largest for that class NESL would build is 50 meters. At 58 meters OPV190 is too small to be a proper ocean going patrol ship, it lacks the tonnage and length to be effective and at that size, it is too big to be an inshore patrol vessel. So, it's actually stuck. |

Henry240: I disagree The OPV 190 is a 58 m (190 foot) long, 9.4 metre wide vessel made from aluminium for less corrosion and lighter weight. Its shallow draft (2.3 metres) allows operation close to the shore. It has a crew of 30 but can take 24 passengers on board. Range is between 4 and 5 000 km at 12 knots, while maximum speed is 30 knots. Endurance is three weeks. |

patches689: Off-course you would disagree. However i stated a generally accepted industry classification for those types of vessels. Vessels such as the Hamina class and Korean navy PKX use water jets that allow them patrol in very shallow waters. The last public white paper from the Nigerian navy indicated that Vessels above 50 meters are not suitable for Inshore patrols. I don't need a white paper to tell me that at 58 meters, vessels would lack the tonnage to be proper seagoing. |

Henry240: Yes, of course I do because this is the second time in two days you have passed off your opinion as fact First... The little warrior class which is also 58m does just fine patrolling some of the roughest waters in the world. The waters off Senegal are not rough enough to say that their vessel is not suited to patrolling their 200nm EEZ. Third... Draught is 2m on that ship - so it can operate in waters that are 2.5m or deeper (depending on their safety margins). That is very shallow. Length has nothing to do with it. They got what they need, its very fast, has an exellent range, can carry a large compliment of men and it is within their means. It is a fine vessel.

patches689:isn't this your statement you only have a couple dozen of them so its unlikely that you will have many mechanics that are familiar/qualified to work on them, and I doubt you have vast quantities of spares for them !!!! both uganda and burundi have a few Cougar MRAPs ,which they are utilising efficiently in somalia. you can't compare some of the isolated outposts in somalia where AMISOM is deployed and where nigeria army are deploying MRAPS in Northeastern nigeria |

patches689: Since i'm not an expert, let's see what the experts have to say. The following are some of the reasons OPV190 would not be suitable for close shore patrols. *Defence analyst and former Defence Review committee member Helmoed Romer Heitman "However, when it comes to the inshore patrol vessels (IPVs), Heitman is of the opinion that "the three 60 m IPVs now envisaged as part of Biro are an embarrassing misstep by the Navy and will be an entirely pointless expenditure," because, "at 60 m they will be too large and complex to be the 'cheap and cheerful' equivalent to the old SDPs, to be used for close inshore work and more importantly to train and develop officers and ratings...At 60 m they will be too small to be really useful (the strike craft were good special operations platforms, but had the speed and the self- defence capability these vessels will lack." Heitman goes on to suggest that the IPV requirement should be revisited to develop a vessel of somewhere around 30 to 40 m, " "They are equipped with water jets instead of propellers, which allow them to operate in very shallow waters and accelerate, slow down and turn in unconventional ways." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamina-class_missile_boat |

Henry240: lol I knew this was where you were getting your ideas from. Heitmann is talking about South African OPV's and with in a South African naval context - due to the extremely rough waters off of our coast and due to the vastly different role that our OPV's and IPV's will play (compared to Senegal). The needs of SAN =/= The needs of Senegal The fact that South African Admirals (actual Naval Officers and Planners) are looking at vessels of that size suggests that Heitmann (an Army guy) is wrong. Hamina-Class is a strike craft not an OPV/IPV Finally: - P400-class OPV (French Navy) 54m - Cyclone Class OPV (USN) 53m - Gumdoksuri-class OPV (RKN) 63m - Hayabusa-class OPV (JMSDF) 50m Plenty of major Navies consider 50-60m as a perfectly acceptable OPV size. |

africaken254: Does he carry the parts for both around in his backpack? And yes, Diesel engines are extremely difficult to work on. Hence a Diesel mechanic for Scania has a two year internship and is qualified only to work on Scania engines, for example. Again, you guys are looking to start a fight over nothing. Its sad really. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 3:22pm On Aug 31, 2016 |
patches689: -Hamina is a Fast Attack Craft which is also designed for patrols. - Cyclone is a littoral patrol craft deployed it is not an OPV. - Vessels that are 63 meters are OPVs, that's a Corvette size ship - Hayabusa-class, that's a patrol boat class of the JMSDF, they aren't considered to be an OPV. - P400-class are not proper sea going vessels, they are designed to patrol EEZ of user Nations. You succeeded in listing a bunch of MPVs, not OPVs. |
