RSN Formidable sailed from France to SG as follows
some guys told me, very reliable n info vertified by other
sources.
2005
21 May Lorient, France
6 June Dokar, Afracia
17 June Cape Town
26 June Reunion Island,
8 July CNB. Home sweet home!
I assume there is no resupply at sea.
So, the longest endurance is 13 days.
Can any navy guys correct me.
2. Are there 4 sets of engine or one set?
I calculate if one set, then fuel consumption is about 2 m3 per
hour,
( 1900 liter a hour)
assume 10 days cruise
so 2 x 24 x 10=480 m3. assume the fuel tank is 2.5 m ht, like a
HDB flat,
therfore, space of fuel tank is 480 /2.5=192 m2, or two
units
of 4 rooms flat= 100 x 2= 200 m2.
