Warship in the Straits of Singapore
-
Judging by this pic, I can narrow the specific ship of this Fearless Class PV to 2 ships. Not sure whether can I say the name out...Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Just another one of those that I see regularly. I understand that posting of SAF assets online is a very sensitive issue so hope you'll understand the low resolution pics.

Sea Skua?Originally posted by Shotgun:Eh, where are u taking these photos from man? I wanna go there an launch some Sea Skuas! haaha
What missile is it?
What is the maximum range of the missile? -
I think the RSN's Coastal Command should just engage you to monitor our waters for them.....Originally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:It has been a relatively boring one plus month with no new visitors other than the usual OPVs and MCMVs, until this USN Fleet oiler decided to drop by yesterday. A Henry J. Kaiser class fleet oiler, the USNS Rappahannock(T-AO 204)
You are more effective then a coastal radar. -
How can you tell? Pray tell?Originally posted by Arena:Judging by this pic, I can narrow the specific ship of this Fearless Class PV to 2 ships. Not sure whether can I say the name out... -
I not sure whether can say annot...
But if you observe carefully, you will notice that APV and PV is different...
An observation of the equipment that each ship have, will help you to narrow your choice... Further narrowing to the specific 1 ship is also possible... By having a closer look at the ship... Without having to sight her pennant number... -
I am enjoying these warship recognition thingy... Hope to have more warships coming... haha
Btw, judging the pictures being posted, I think some and most are taken from a position being onboard a ship out at the sea.
Most people aren't really that free to be sailing everyday in the Singapore Straits...
I think these pictures will most probably been taken by a person whose occupation is a sailor...
PCG? or RSN? might be commercial sailor too... -
Yah i think i know which ship tat PV is , lets just say tat a few of our PV/APV has equiment not found on others in e class
-
I think thread starter is PCG la. since he mentioned OSA. Just guessing..

Anti-ship missile.Originally posted by Arena:Sea Skua?

Originated from UK if I am not wrong.
Can be firie from Lynx Naval Heli.
Battle-tested in Gulf War I against Iraqi fast attack craft. -
Is the Sea Skua homing by a radar seeker or Infra-red?
How can ships defend themselves from this missile? -
Why nnot you make a calculated guess?Originally posted by spartan6:Yah i think i know which ship tat PV is , lets just say tat a few of our PV/APV has equiment not found on others in e class
Btw, I think I can pinpoint to exactly which ship is that PV, provided the date that ship picturre is taken is as said by the thread and in recent time. -
I think i saw something tat look like a deck crane therefore it should be e RSS Sovereignty (84)
-
wonder if any aircraft carrier past Spore before recently?
-
It's radar-guided, specifically semi-active radar guidance. Defence? Oh, the usual stuff...SAM, guns, CIWS, prayer....Originally posted by Arena:Is the Sea Skua homing by a radar seeker or Infra-red?

Thats a good one. Oh btw, dun bother asking me what I do for work. Its got nothing to do with OSA, its just my preference to keep it private.Originally posted by khyron1:Defence? Oh, the usual stuff...SAM, guns, CIWS, prayer.... -
Yes, let's respect Ober's privacy.
I must say I occassionally check this thread to see what are the warships passing thru' the straits. Very interesting from a warship enthusiast ( junior one that is). Thanks, Ober.
Some years ago, I had seen subs on the surface transiting our south passage. But no flag was flown. My dad said that they were Australian. He had seen the Aussies overflying Pedra Blanca with P3 Orion aircraft. He claims that they are very interested in Singapore's maritime capabilities and when they are not exercising with the RSN, they will "probe" using their rights as a friendly country. -
Not sure.... .but i think most anti ship missile didn't use infra-red. my guess active homing....Originally posted by Arena:Is the Sea Skua homing by a radar seeker or Infra-red?

According to some analyst....the reason how the coalition easily destroy the Iraqi FAC that the RSN start to install Mistral missle onto our MGBs, replacing the 40mm gun. -

Btw, thats an interesting point from your dad.. But how do the aussies get there in the first place? Unless they are here.. if not they must overfly indonesia or make a big detour.. -
Hi, when my dad told me about the P3 , he also showed me a photo he had taken ( he was stationed at Pedra Blanca). The P3 was positively Australian as it was buzzing low level and it had the Kangaroo markings !Originally posted by Pitot:Yes. We shld respct his privacy.

I suspect they were on temporary deployment at Alor Setar in Malaysia, where up to 10 years ago, the RAAF had a deployment there. This incident happened in the mid 90s. The submarines I saw happened a few years ago. -
Dunno what this fella from the Royal Malaysian Coast Guard was doing in our straits. Sure its not a ship of war but it makes for some interesting varieties.
Finally got a better shot of the Kedah class (Meko 100) NGPVs. They always seem to be shadowed by a Laksamana class corvette, like they sail in tandem. This pair being KD Pahang (NGPV 172) and KD Hang Nadim (F134)
-
When I was holidaying in Malaysia in July I saw many ( including Hang Nadim) in dock in Lumut. Also a couple of submarines at berth but could not id them.

haha... i think that one should not be 84 if the photo is taken recently, in ard 1 mth... i cant tell u whr 84 is, so minus 84, the next 1 will be the exact pv that u can pinpoint...Originally posted by spartan6:I think i saw something tat look like a deck crane therefore it should be e RSS Sovereignty (84)
84 just been back from a holidaz, they still in holidaz mood -
the british ship posted by Moonstriker is most prob HMS Westminster (F237).. just finished Bersama Padu with her.
