approved the implementation of a +€600 million modernization program
(platform and mission systems) for the four Hydra-class (MEKO 200HN) frigates in order to extend
their life by another 15-20 years. The program will be carried out by <a href="https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/01/tkms-and-thales-cooperate-in-hellenic-navy-frigate-modernization-program/" target="_blank">the consortium of TKMS and Thales (Thales Nederland)</a> which were selected as the Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), at a Greek shipyard which the consortium
will select. The upgrade program which is referred as “Capability
Upgrade” and not MLU indicating a less extensive work, was expected to
begin in 2024 and to last 7 years. Note that the overall Hydra capability upgrade program consists of a number of separate sub-programs such as the acquisition and integration of ESSM Block 2 SAM, the upgrade, overhaul and/or replacement of the engines (part of it has been already executed), the upgrade or overhaul of the mission and platform systems (the program that will be executed by TKMS and Thales), the upgrade of Phalanx CIWS to the latest configuration Block 1B Baseline 2 and the upgrade of the Mk45 main gun system.Other sub-programs might be also carried out such as the installation of two RWS, L-ESM system, R-ECM or C-UAV suite, and so on. There are indications that not all ships of the class will undergo upgrades; instead, a select 2-3 vessels may receive more extensive enhancements, while the remaining ship(s) will leverage spare parts sourced from the upgraded ones.

The HS <i>Limnos </i>is part of a fleet of ten (10) Kortenaer-class frigates (nine in service today) acquired by Greece between 1981 and 2001. Notably, it is one of the two frigates in this class, alongside HS <i>Elli</i>, procured completely new while still under construction for the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN). The remaining vessels were obtained as second-hand units between 1993 and 2001, following their retirement from the RNN. A unique feature of the HS <i>Limnos </i>and HS <i>Elli </i>is their distinctive armament, which includes two OTO 76mm guns and two Phalanx Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS). This sets them apart from their counterparts within the class. For a substantial period, these two frigates held the distinction of being the most modern and powerful vessels in the Hellenic Navy, until the introduction of the first Hydra-class (MEKO 200HN) frigate.The two ships received an MLU in 2006-2010.

The types/classes are listed in decreasing size (length and displacement) from left to right. As you can read also "bigger doesn't mean always stronger"! For some of them, the newest designs, the technical characteristics and armaments are not the exact ones. Note also that Russian designs are not included. Also Ukrainian designs are excluded too because it is uncertain if the shipbuilding process will continue (Ada-class). The winning designs of the Romanian and Greek corvette programs will be included in the table as soon as the result is known. It should be clarified also that some of the designs may do not carry 20-30mm RWS (such as the Type 31/AH140PL) but they do carry 40mm guns which cover both roles, CIWS and protection against asymmetrical threats, and the opposite.

Η απόρριψη της πρότασης σημαίνει ότι το ΛΣ θα πρέπει να βρει εξειδικευμένα συνεργεία στην Ελλάδα για συντήρηση κι επισκευές στο 090 που κόστισε 30 εκατ € στα οποία προτεραιότητα δεν θα έχει ο πιο καλός , αλλά ο πιο φθηνός. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Με αφορμή αυτή την εξέλιξη, ως Λιμενικός, θα ήθελα να καταθέσω κάποιους προβληματισμούς μου όσο αφορά τη συντήρηση και την αποκατάσταση βλαβών των Περιπολικών Πλοίων και Σκαφών του ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Το ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ την παρούσα στιγμή έχει ένα στόλο που αποτελείται από 5 ΠΑΘ/ΛΣ (1 της Vosper Europatrol 250Mk1, 3 Sa'ar 4,5, 1 Damen Stan Patrol 5509), τέσσερα ΠΠΛΣ της Cantiere Navale Vittoria, 1 ΠΠΛΣ Abeking, 2 ΠΛΣ POB24 ΦΑΙΑΚΑΣ, 35 ΠΛΣ Lambro 57 (16 με σύστημα πρόωσης SDS και 19 με σύστημα πρόωσης υδροτζετ), 7 ΠΛΣ Lambro 53, 3 ΠΛΣ CB90 DOCKSTA VARVET, 9 Ν/Γ Lambro Halmatic 60, 2 ΠΛΣ mil38 και 2mil 40 της FB Design δωρεά του ιδρύματος Αικατερίνης Λασκαριδη, 2 ΠΛΣ Lambro 45 καθώς και σημαντικό αριθμό ταχέων φουσκωτών περιπολικών μήκους 8 έως 12 μέτρων. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Αυτή τη στιγμή "τρέχουν" διαγωνισμοί για ένταξη στο στόλο του ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ 42 ΠΛΣ (21+21) Ταχέων Περιπολικών σκαφών μήκους 10 έως 13 μέτρων, 10 ΠΛΣ (5+5) μήκους 17-20 μέτρων και 4 ΠΠΛΣ (2+2) μήκους 35-40 μέτρων. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Είναι πραγματικότητα πως από την κατάργηση το 2007 του Κεφαλαίου ΛΑ (λογαριασμός που είχε το κάθε Λιμεναρχείο προκειμένου να αγοράζει υλικό και να συντηρεί οχήματα και σκάφη), δεν υπάρχει κάποιος κωδικός στον Εθνικό προϋπολογισμό για εργασίες συντήρησης , ή αποκατάστασης βλαβών των πλωτών επιχειρησιακών μέσων ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ με αποτέλεσμα η Κεντρική Υπηρεσία και οι κατά τόπους Λιμενικές Αρχές να καταφεύγουν σε δωρεές από την ΕΕΕ, την COSCO, τους κατά τόπους Οργανισμούς Λιμένα ΑΕ και Λιμενικά Ταμεία, όπως και στις τοπικές κοινότητες. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Σύμφωνα με στατιστικές το κόστος συντήρησης ενός πολεμικού πλοίου για το χρονικό διάστημα της επιχειρησιακής ζωής του είναι υπερτριπλάσιο της αγοράς του. Ας χρησιμοποιήσουμε προς μελλοντικό όφελος τα λάθη του παρελθόντος όσον αφορά το Follow On Support (FOS) των Πλοίων - Σκαφών ΛΣ για τα νέα σκάφη που πρόκειται να ενταχθούν στο στόλο ΛΣ- ΕΛΑΚΤ. Όσο αφορά τουλάχιστον τα ΠΑΘ/ΛΣ τα οποία επιχειρούν αυτή τη στιγμή εκτιμώ πως μια προσωρινή πρόταση θα ήταν η υπαγωγή τους στον προγραμματισμό συντήρησης των πλοίων του ΠΝ. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Ίσως με τη σημαντική αύξηση του στόλου του ΛΣ σε συνδυασμό με τις αυξημένες Υπηρεσιακές Ανάγκες του ΛΣ (Αυξανόμενο μεταναστευτικό, αυξημένη Τουρκική προκλητικότητα, έλεγχος ΑΟΖ) να ήρθε ο καιρός για την ίδρυση Ελληνικής Ακτοφυλακής στην οποία θα εντάσσονται όλες οι Επιχειρησιακές Μονάδες ΛΣ (Πλωτά - Εναέρια Μέσα, ΜΥΑ, ΚΕΑ, ΠΟΔΙΝ, ΤΚΕΕΠ) με τα υπαγόμενα σε αυτά Επιχειρησιακά Μέσα με δικό τους Αρχηγείο υπαγόμενο στο ΥΕΘΑ ως 4ος κλάδος των Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων των οποίων τα στελέχη θα εκπαιδεύονται στις παραγωγικές σχολές ΛΣ σε συνεργασία με το ΠΝ και θα λαμβάνουν ειδικότητα (Αρμ, Μηχ, ΠΒ, ΤΠΒ, ΗΝΔΒ κλπ) στα πρότυπα του USCG. Για τις πιστοποιήσεις των Μηχανικών ειδικότερα θα πρέπει να ισχύει το ίδιο όπως και στο Εμπορικό Ναυτικό με τον ISM Code (International Safety Management). Για παράδειγμα κάθε στέλεχος με ειδικότητα μηχανικού που τοποθετείται σε σκάφος θα πρέπει να είναι εκτός από διπλωματούχος μηχανικός και εξειδικευμένο στις μηχανές του σκάφους.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Σε αντίθετη περίπτωση, προκειμένου το ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ να διατηρήσει τον παραδοσιακό ενιαίο του χαρακτήρα, καλό θα ήταν η αύξηση του προϋπολογισμού του ΥΝΑΝΠ και η επαναφορά του Κεφάλαιο ΛΑ προκειμένου να έχουμε αξιόπλοα, αξιόμαχα και ευπαρουσίαστα πλωτά επιχειρησιακά μέσα καθώς αυτά αποτελούν την αιχμή του δόρατος του σώματος. Για να μπορεί το Σώμα να εκτελεί το καθήκον του αποτελεσματικά και στο ακέραιο.</span></div>D-Mitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13958151042890362933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093295897241438289.post-15393854925218903612022-01-31T19:35:00.001+02:002023-03-19T15:31:26.803+02:00INFOGRAPHICS #54: World War II and Cold War submarines of the Soviet Navy<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The following images were created by <b>Naval Encyclopedia</b> and depict the majority of the

Together, these elements and supporting units are trained, organized, and equipped to perform amphibious operations.The resulting forces may range from a single Amphibious Ready Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) [ARG/MEU (SOC)], to a larger organization capable of employing a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) or even a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF). Normally two to three ARGs are forward deployed: one in the Mediterranean Sea/Persian Gulf–Indian Ocean area, and one or two in the western Pacific Ocean area. The other ships of the ARG are either working up to deploy, in transit, or in overhaul. One ARG/MEU, known as Task Force 76/Expeditionary Strike Group 7, is forward based in Sasebo and Okinawa, Japan. In most cases, the ATF will be deployed under the protective umbrella of a <a href="https://www.navalanalyses.com/2016/12/infographics-23-us-navy-carrier-strike.html" target="_blank">Carrier Strike Group (CSG)</a>, which provides cover for the ATF and combat support to operations ashore. Ships of the ATF are capable of embarking and supporting other forces when the mission requires, including the United States Army, Special Operations Forces (SOF), or other joint and combined forces.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmU10opZmr4/YaUQGRxALWI/AAAAAAAATC4/stNDVaC3wTgvWPn4rL76U75z9PhTBXRHQCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/ARG.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1582" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmU10opZmr4/YaUQGRxALWI/AAAAAAAATC4/stNDVaC3wTgvWPn4rL76U75z9PhTBXRHQCNcBGAsYHQ/w494-h640/ARG.jpg" width="494" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Graph by <span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://www.history.navy.mil">history.navy.mil</a></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sources:<br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://www.history.navy.mil">www.history.navy.mil</a></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_ready_group">wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_ready_group</a></span></li></ul></div>D-Mitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13958151042890362933noreply@blogger.com0
