Warship in the Straits of Singapore
-
Spotted sailing past one of our southern islands on 24th January this year. Note colour camouflage pattern and no flags spotted. Anyone can identify it?
-

maybe thai.
always see a lot of thai sailors at simlim sq in navy uniform. mebbe they come here for exercise. -
Coincide with the Msia's King's Visit ??

photo very hazy, the camo on the ship looks like brown, greenish grey but can't tell very much if malaysian or thai warship.
But anyway if it is malaysian why does their king need to ride down in one especially now feb which is still monsoon period. Couldn't he just fly down in his personal helicopter. -

Looks like Pearl Harbour in December 7 1941

Trawler where got radar mast one... Most probably Indonesian Navy because in area around Singapore only their warship (patrol vessel maybe) have camouflaged body.Originally posted by nightzip: u sure its a warship???? looks like a trawler to me. -
Maybe the logistics ocifer sold the fuel to the pirates...You know they reduced the fuel subsidy in indo. And end up drifted to our southern island...
And the captain was hoping for either the monsoon wind to blow them back... or the RSN kind enuff to send them some fuel, CNY goodwill.... -
I'd say Indon
-
Need to highlight that the ship was sailing along the shipping lines and was well within our waters given that RSN ships were observed to sail much further offshore from where this ship was spotted.
-
Trepass sg waters should be shot down or arrested liao
Maybe Navy not as effective as we thought it was
-
My guess is Thai or possibly Taiwanese. Here is my logic...Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Spotted sailing past one of our southern islands on 24th January this year. Note colour camouflage pattern and no flags spotted. Anyone can identify it?
1) its displacement is around 800 tons and from the length , it looks around 130 m or so. Possibly a Corvette or Frigate
2) It has 2 Oto Melara 76 mm guns fore and aft.
3) there is some kind of fixed missile launcher which looks like a US made Standard anti-aircraft/ missile launcher
It is too small to be one of the US or western powers or Japanese, who also don't camouflage their craft. Also, too small to be Indonesian ( who have much larger American and Soviet destroyers). It could be one of the older Oliver Perry class frigates that the US has retired but transferred to countries like Taiwan and thailand. -
i say indonesia because its looks exactly like the ones we were next to at Meulaboh
-
It's the paint scheme.....
-
Some indonesian russian type patrol vessel. Could be one of the east german vessels they bought over. Russian type ASW rocket launcher on fore deck.
-
Around this region, only the indonesian paint their ship like that !!!Originally posted by spiderweb6969:it belong to the indonesian navy....especially if you seen it around the southern island. -
Indon navy is a big joke=no usable weapon systems except small arms.
If they clash with Royal Malaysian Navy in Ambalat sea area, they will be blown to bits.

RMN was a bigger joke when they have nothing to blow up the Indo warship in the waters off sabah that they have to crash their craft into the Indo ship...Originally posted by idwar:Indon navy is a big joke=no usable weapon systems except small arms.

http://www.malra.org/posko/malra.php4?nr=37009 remember the incident over the disputed Sipadan area ?? -
