As far as I know, the "#1450 - MU-90 Impact" only is in service in Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Poland. I thus suggest to replace the "#1450 - MU-90 Impact" in dutch aircraft and ships' stores, mounts and magazines by the "#1647 - Mk46 NEARTIP Mod 5 -- 1984". Same for all exported Karel doorman frigates (# 1797, 1837 and 2623). - Jane's Naval Weapon Systems #44. - http://www.defense.gouv.fr/dga/equipement/naval/la-torpille-legere-mu90 - http://www.defensie.nl/english/organisation/navy/contents/materiel/ships/m-class-frigates - http://www.defensie.nl/english/organisation/navy/contents/materiel/ships/air-defence-and-command-frigate-lcf #1837 - F 930 Leopold I [Karel Doorman] -- Belgium (Navy), 2008 #1797 - FF 15 Almirante Blanco [Karel Doorman] -- Chile (Navy), 2006 #887 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 1991 #166 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 1994 #888 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 1999 #1724 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2004 #1590 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2006 #2522 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2012 #2623 - F 333 Bartolomeu Diaz [Karel Doorman] -- Portugal (Navy), 2008-0, 2x, Joao Belo replacement Properties: - "Refuel from Port x 1 (In)" - "Degaussed Steel Hull" (read it on the ship's logbook, no pic.) The 3 following suggestions are best guesses, I've got no sources I could quote at hand: - "Refuel from Starboard x 1 (In)" (Can be done both sides afaik) - "Replenish from Port x 1 (In)" (Cargo under 300kg can be passed from ship to ship using) - "Replenish from Starboard x 1 (In)" (Can be done both sides afaik) #1590 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2006 #1797 - FF 15 Almirante Blanco [Karel Doorman] -- Chile (Navy), 2006 #1837 - F 930 Leopold I [Karel Doorman] -- Belgium (Navy), 2008 #2522 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2012 #2623 - F 333 Bartolomeu Diaz [Karel Doorman] -- Portugal (Navy), 2008-0, 2x, Joao Belo replacement All exported Karel doorman frigates (# 1797, 1837 and 2623), "#2522 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2012" and probably "#2522 - F 827 Karel Doorman -- Netherlands (Navy), 2012" seems to have a "#2637 - Scout Mk.2" instead of the "#1836 - Scout Mk.1". - http://navalanalyses.blogspot.be/2014/11/karel-doorman-m-class-frigates-of.html F 930 Leopold I #1837 - F 930 Leopold I [Karel Doorman] -- Belgium (Navy), 2008 Sensors: - delete "#1900 - DSBV 62C", it wasn't part of the deal. #???? - F 930 Leopold I [Karel Doorman] -- Belgium (Navy), 2012 Please create a new platform based on #1837 (modified as suggested above). Sensors: - add "#5140 - Sea Watcher 100 [Seastar] -- 2012" - add "#5142 - Gatekeeper Dual-Sensor Suite [FLIR/CCD] -- Group" (it's simply the same update the two remaining dutch Karel Doorman class frigates started to get in 2012.) Old mast: New mast: Nice pic for that new platform: http://www.mil.be/fr/article/les-fregates-leopold-i-et-van-speijk-reviennent-datalanta Sources: - Jane's Fighting Ships 2009-2010 - http://www.meretmarine.com/fr/content/un-nouveau-mat-pour-la-fregate-belge-leopold-ier - http://navalanalyses.blogspot.be/2014/11/karel-doorman-m-class-frigates-of.html - http://marinebelge.be/f930.html - http://www.mil.be/fr/materiel/f930-leopold-i-fregate I see several frigates and patrol ships not having their docking facilities set in DB (most if not all ships carry an RHIB or two nowadays afaik), does it worth the efforts to research and report them all or that would just be a waste of your and my time?
