I dont mean to be rude but who would want to attack New Zealand?? Half the time people forget it even exists...

Shotgun SG

US Navy current agrees with the RSN Submarine’s role as an “Under water rock concert.”

Patriotic Tim SG

Shotgun, can yo tell me what you meaN BY UNDERWATER ROCK CONCERT?????

Patriotic Tim SG

Shotgun, can yo tell me what you meaN BY UNDERWATER ROCK CONCERT?????

Shotgun SG

Ever heard a rock band performing on board a submarine from another submarine’s passive sonar?

Patriotic Tim SG

oh. you mean RSN submarines is easily detectable ny sonars?

Shotgun SG

Well, Yes. From what I heard from some friends. However, Singapore has been known to err, tinker around with her toys. Maybe they have upgraded the Subs, or even purchased newer and better ones. Please be reminded, that the current swedish subs is Singapore’s FIRST submarines.

Patriotic Tim SG

Singapore already refurbished and upgraded the Sjoormen class into the Challenger class submaine. Anyway, Dr.Tony Tan already highlighted that the 4 submarines are mainly for training purposes.

tripwire SG

why do you need 4 subs for trainning??? isnt 1 or 2 subs cheaper and still serve the same purpose??

And why do you need to train sub operations if you dont intend to continue with it in the future.... kind of like too much money dont know where to throw???

tripwire SG

OH.... ever consider that this 4 subs might be a cover for other 'advance subs' that is in singapore water but very very silent......

Patriotic Tim SG

Yup. thats what i've been think so. There are sure to be some subs kept in secret. if not, why are the trainings for.What i think is that the 4 Challenger class are used to let our RSN men to have a first hand feel on what its like working onboard a sub, then later they will proceded on to the sophisticated secret subs.

eagle SG

Scary thought.
Our neighbours too, may haf undercover subs that we dunno abt.

I wonder what kinda sub would that be?

YourFather SG

Come on guys… Subs aren’t cheap. You don’t buy them like they you buy peanuts, at least, not with our budget… 4 subs are definitely all we’ve got. Just what are their capabilities, I dunno, though I was surprised as it didn’t seem like what Singapore usually got (meaning: the latest and the best)

tripwire SG

ITs probably a lead in sub.... before long... you will start seeing RSN buying the lastest and the best.... heheee

Shotgun SG

Maybe custom making our own subs even. I mean, Singapore has the experience in Maritime engineering.

Patriotic Tim SG

Yup. Probably our own customed submarines but cooperation with France again. I don’t think Singapore will not put U.S on the top in the list of weapon suppliers. Most probably European countries. I noticed something. The number of equipment in the SADA is never released… any one of you are willing to share info? Anything you know?

tripwire SG

dont you think such information is considered sensitive???

anyway... from my sources.... RSAF got more SAMs than all the aircraft in this region.

Patriotic Tim SG

Well, you may be right. Anyway, so much 'sensitive' info had already been let out by everyone in the forums (including you). True or not i don't know, just like one RSAF technician told me, everything on the net can be considered as being used for reading leisure.

Shotgun SG

Btw. I read somewhere that the Aegis has been approved for sales to Singapore…...

YourFather SG

Aegis approved for Singapore?!!! Don’t joke lah. Its size would mean that a larger frigate than the one Singapore has ordered would be required. Though i would really appreciate it if you could tell me where you got that from though…
