Another platform for the Indonesian navy... (Not much is available for this one, but I tried to dig up what I could...maybe there is enough for a "first draft" version of the platform to be included?) KRI 625 Klewang Trimaran KCR Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) Indonesia Service dates: Unclear...possibly 2017- ??? (the first vessel was delivered in 2012, but burned in a fire only about a month later!) Pennants: None named besides the ill-fated first vessel in the class, but four ships to be delivered (including a replacement for the one that burned) GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Carbon composite construction (stealthy, low radar signature), trimaran wave piercing hull (very stable, I would guess) Displacement: 219 tons Length Over All: 63.0 meter Length of Waterline: 61.0 meter Beam Overall: 16.0 meter Water Draft: 1.2 meter Sprint Speed: 35 knots Range: 2000+ nm @ 16kts Fuel Capacity: 50,000 litres Machinery 4 x MAN Marine Diesels 4 x MJP 550 waterjets Ships Company: 23 Trainees/Others: 7 » Saab RBS15 Mk3 anti-ship missiles (unclear how many...maybe 4...one source says up to 8 C-705 missiles, but these are smaller than the RBS15) » BAE Systems Bofors 40Mk4 40mm main gun » Saab Sea Giraffe LT radar » Saab CEROS 200 radar and optronic tracking system » Saab 9LV Combat management system 1 x 11-m RHIB "The vessel is powered by four MAN V12 diesel engines, driving multiple MJP 550 water jets, located on the three for maximum propulsive thrust and maneuverability. The vessel can develop a ‘sprinting’ maximum speed of 35 knots. Cruising speed is 16 knots and the stated operational range is over 2000 nautical miles....The Klewang is armed with concealed gun turret, missile launchers and small arms posts. Trimarans offer very stable weapons platforms, and can carry various Missile systems; including Type 705 (up to 8), RBS15, Penguin or Exocet, and 40-57mm Naval Guns, or a CIWC (Close In Weapon System). These can be mounted high on the superstructure, giving better range and firing arc. Sensors can also be installed high up without concerns for stability. This first ship will carry a turnkey system delivered by CSOC and CPMIEC China, including rapid fire CIWS, combat control and missile systems. The exact configuration of this system is still classified....Accommodation is provided for a complement of twenty nine (officers and crew) on three internal decks (including bridge and combat control centre), with facilities and equipment also provided for deployment of special forces troops, including an 11m high speed 50 knot RIB, also manufactured and supplied by North Sea Boats." --http://defense-update.com/20120906_kri-klewang-first-stealthy-trimaran-patrol-vessel-for-the-indonesian-navy.html "The Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) employs a modern “Wave Piercing” trimaran design. This allows the vessel to cut-through waves rather than rise up and over them, and the increased beam provides inherent stability. This combination of features reduces both pitching and rolling, creating a stable weapons platform, and enabling the vessel to comfortably and safely maintain higher average speeds in adverse conditions....The FMPV has “Stealth” design characteristics, and incorporate features that minimise detection by reducing Radar, Infra-Red, Acoustic and Magnetic signatures. Stealth properties are further improved as there are no reverse-angle bow overhangs to reflect radar signals, as seen on conventional hull forms. Weaponry, including missiles and naval guns, and the ships 11 m high-speed RHIB, are discreetly concealed or shaped to meld into the superstructure profile." -- http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/year-2012-news/august/581-north-sea-boats-to-launch-new-63m-stealth-fast-missile-patrol-vessel-for-indonesian-navy.html Sources http://defense-update.com/20120906_kri-klewang-first-stealthy-trimaran-patrol-vessel-for-the-indonesian-navy.html http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/indonesia/kcr-trimaran.htm http://www.newshub.co.nz/world/kiwi-codesigned-ship-burns-in-indonesia-2012093013 http://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/world-naval-forces/asian-navies-vessels-ships-equipment/indonesia/patrol-vessels/766-trimaran-fmpv-63m-fast-missile-patrol-vessel-stealth-composite-indonesia-indonesian-navy-tni-al-north-sea-boats-pt-lundin-kri-klewang-625-datasheet-pictures-photos-video-specifications.html
