Warship in the Straits of Singapore

This is especially so with support ships and civilian vesselsOriginally posted by Shotgun:Erm, sonar can only tell you so much about the type of vessel. The blade count, speed, perhaps engine noise. Such information MAY reveal the type of vessel, if the relevant information was already available before. Like perhaps stored in some archive.
Some ships may have similar acoustics signatures, and are very difficult to tell apart. So the most reliable way to ID it, is to look at it thru the periscope. -
Well.......that reminds me of a WW2 U-boat simulation game called Silent Hunter III~~~Originally posted by Shotgun:Erm, sonar can only tell you so much about the type of vessel.

Heh, the submarine service hasn't really changed that much perhaps? Any submariner or ex submariners on the forums?

Is this the HMS Hood?Originally posted by Master -_-:reminds me of this

Yep...That's Hood alrightOriginally posted by spencer99:Is this the HMS Hood? -
Our "new friend" is back. Photo taken today with 12 digital zoom.

Hahaha! Anybody plays subcommand here? Wanna multiplayer? LOL!

RMN ship kena cut.... the paintwork under the ship's hull, you will see "milo", "klim", "anchor beer" just like how you see their cans in the supermarket.Originally posted by zenden9:The RSN ship cut by half and the ship still did not sink if RMN ship is the one kena cut,I think no crew will survive cos everything in the bottom of the sea liao...LOL! -
These two showed up today. -
The waters here are too damn bloody noisy to ID any ship through sonar...the best are still thru periscope....that's why the American Carrier Group can't even able to locate us when we have exercise with them...now the Swedish Gotland Class Sub (which the USN lease to train their ASW tactics against conventional sub) are kicking the almight USN butt in their waters....lang de xu ming...Originally posted by Shotgun:Heh, the submarine service hasn't really changed that much perhaps?

Hmm, i'm not surprised if passive detection doesn't work too well in shallow water operations. Perfect for diesels to sit quietly in the shallows, perhaps running at periscope depth with its ESM mast up. Perhaps an MAD run is the only way to find a diesel hiding in the shallows?

With so many sunken ships around our areas and the mordern subs have deguassing units to minimize their magnetic signature....MAD is like finding a needle in a haystack...that's y most warship would try to stay out of known submarine in that particular sectors....ASW is the most tedious task for surface ships...they would rather send out ASW air assest to hunt first before the surface fleet goes into that sector....Originally posted by Shotgun:Hmm, i'm not surprised if passive detection doesn't work too well in shallow water operations.

The top one looks like one of RSN's Mine hunters, the "Bedok' class or something.Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:

distintive raise forecastle with the 40mm Bofors gun and lack of any sensor and FCS on top of the bridge or mast
the one below is a LST, note the distinctive bow,
I know the RMN as one similar to this shape that they bought 2nd hand from US. but so do many countries, like the RAN for eg also have at least one. I saw it anchored in a Navy pier. -
NEWPORT Class

fuck, now look at all this publicity, i told my nephew not to play with his remote controlled ship too much.. damn..
-
Great idea

me! i used to play it! never got good with it though...too impatient >.<Originally posted by Shotgun:Hahaha! Anybody plays subcommand here? Wanna multiplayer? LOL! -
Because of problems accessing the forum, I can't post these until now.
These 2 were spotted last Friday:
Followed shortly by RSS Endurance

The first ship is an underway replenishment ship. Probably a fleet oiler (can see the blooms in the front where the hoses are (black)).
i would say these are USN ships.....
i don't think the RAN got such large replenishment vessels. -

This I agree is replenishment ship, as IF the above ship (DD) is a JMSDF ship, I bet the latter ship ship is also belongs to JMSDF....perhaps the AOE Mashu-class? Ship no is '425'?

I believe the ships are JMSDF ships. This leads to the next question.....why are these JMSDF ships doing in this region? as it is rare for JMSDF ships to travel so far south here.... Going to the Gulf?
"i would say these are USN ships....." -
Was passing by Tanah Merah MRT station yesterday evening. The area was slightly jammed with an unusally large number of taxis parked along the road waiting for passengers (drivers where outside their cabs waiting). At the entrance of the station were 3 Hooters girls, in their trademark outfits. In the station itself, were a few caucasians - don't from which country though.
It seems that a number of sailors are expected here? -
agree with u.Originally posted by Black Aces:I believe the ships are JMSDF ships. This leads to the next question.....why are these JMSDF ships doing in this region? as it is rare for JMSDF ships to travel so far south here.... Going to the Gulf?
