“My suggestion to you would be Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. I have never been myself, but know of others that have been, and all have said how wonderful it was.

Please let us know where in the world you decide to go…!”

My fiancée and I have been to Arizona dozens of times and she has been to hawaii at least a half dozen times. I have never been to Hawaii and I would only go to see the Pearl Harbour Memorial.

The other day a whole bunch of Sandal’s Resort magazines and brochures (Caribbean locations) came in the mail. I am guessing my fiancée requested those brochures. This is a good example of how are marriage will be. She will want one thing and I will want another thing and then we will compromise and do what she wants.:D

I would like to go some where I or my fiancée have never been. That is hard because my fiancée has been all over the world. We decided that we want to go to a place where we can relax because we both will need it after the wedding. We decided against Europe, Australia / New Zealand, and Asia because if we went to one of those places we would be running around trying to see everything that we would not be able to relax. My fiancée really wants to go to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas but she has been to the Bahamas before and the Bahamas do not appeal to me at all. Has anyone ever went on vacation to Argentina or Chile? Places like that appeal to me more.

“Following the day-long firings, HS Nearchos finally sunk late in the evening.”

This ship took two Exocet missiles, a Hellfire missile, and a torpedo and was still floating? Wow. Was that just dumb luck or what?

I agree with Nastle! Pakistan should concentrate on subs, attack craft, and Corvettes. After those three new classes of ships have entered Pakistan’s navy then they can start looking at capital ships!

No export potential

KJ,

I understand and totally agree with everything you wrote. I am just surprised how conventional the design is in this day of age. Some stealth features wouldn’t have cost that much more. This design is just as conventional as the Po Hang Class Corvette that was built 25 years earlier. I just wish they added some stealth features.

The current plan is to build 40 of these crafts, 16 of it SSM-armed and 24 gun-only.

The 24 gun only ships. Will they be fitted for but not with SSM or will they not even be fitted? Will there just be an empty spot were the SSM are located or will they add some other equipment?

good but not great!

This ship looks good and has a good weapons fit minus a SAM system. I would have tried to fit the SEA RAM some where. however, I am disappointed on how conventional the design is. I was expecting something a lot more stealthy from the South Koreans.

I remembering seeing a pic with an A10 armed with two Sidewinders and four twin Stinger launchers for a total of 10 air to air missiles. I thought that was impressive on a tank busting aircraft.
