– Too costly, hmmm, in fact a conventionnal aircraft carrier design were on the extreme limit (or lightly over) of the brazilian budget…..

– A possible commercial standard vessel from the koreans ???:confused: You speak about the Korean Dohkdo design ???

I doubt seriously that brazil buy this type of vessel (better for use of F35, don’t able to take RAFALE)

Read what I wrote, I said something along the lines of this picture

and built in South Korea, they have some of the best ship building yards in the world and are more than capable of producing something along the lines of this. Also i would install cats and as I said the USA would probably be more than happy to supply these.

Brazil would find it difficult I believe to buy a CVF, too costly. Remember they have only bought 36 jets for their Air Force. Thats a small purchase for a country the size of Brazil.

If we were coming in off the back of a 60-100 jet purchase I would say yes, they are prepared to spend the funds and get serious about defence, but they didnt.

If they were to buy a replacement for the Sao Paulo I would say they should be looking for a commericial standard vessel produced by the Koreans.

This was an early design for the CVF that could work. I’m sure the US would sell them new sets of steam catapults to put to use. Not likely to get the new rail launch system though.

Sorry Grim didnt make my point very well.

I meant to say that after our experiences with the SA80 mk 1 we should be looking at possibly buying off the shelf, something like the HK416 would be perfect.

Also alot of people look at the C3 and can pick out a number of foreign designs already out there that could fill the role really well and could be produced by BVT quickly.

Grim what do you think to the latest fleet designs? and when are you gonna give it a stab?

OK one more look at this.

This is my new look Royal Navy Fleet.

Type 45

C1 – Scalp and CAMM + Quad Harpoon + 155mm
(Type 45 Hull)

C2 – CAMM + Quad Harpoon + 155mm

C3 – 76 mm

I’m liking the Type 45 Hull for C1 now – lots of space!

Russia set to purchase large French warship – top brass

The admiral said at the time that the Russian Navy was interested in “joint research and also direct purchases of French naval equipment.”

I will be interested to see if they do progress on to talking about Carrier and to see what they come up with.

Good points Grim.

I accept those on the C1/Type 45.

Tonight I shall sit down for a drawing session. Lets see what I can come up with 🙂

Your right, I talk about Naval Scalp as i like the fact that this is produced in europe. We do already use tomahawks though and if I could use them with the A-70 as per their broshure I probably would fit them instead.

With regards to the Absalon class, there is a reason that My C1 and C2 designs share the same hull. It makes it cheaper and quicker. Some people say use the Type 45 and then have anew hull for the C2. I say design a hull for the C1 and C2 there will be alot more of them than the type 45. Although that said using the Type 45 hull for both coule be an option. Maybe a little too big though.

I will be sending some letters out again with regards to something i just re read on the wiki site for type 45. I want the *******s to get the harpoons fitted to the Type 45- Its a disgrace that they arent.
