I am suppose some of you here are either from the marine
industry or you read up a lot regarding weapons. I will be amazed
if anyone out here have gone into the RSS Formidable and even if
you have done so you would not have say the specliaites of this
stealth unit.
Just explaining in layman terms
Though i am not in the crew but regarding the consturcting of
this ship I still have some knowledge. This ship is designed in a
funny shape that under the radar, it will be seen as
a small fishing boat. Its material to construct the ship can
actually absorb radar wave and reflect at the same time. Thats why
at the side the ship is flat.
During naval warfare, when you see Singapore's Formaidable Class
in your radar. It either you get your men to abandon ship or just
fire everything you have but you will end up in the water also.
Before the RSS formaidable goes near you, the submarine is already
within effective firing range.
Just side tracking, what you seen on the news and internet is
what the RSN can show you. But there are more towards its
capabilities. More of this class of stealth figates are on the way.
It will soon replace the current figates that singapore has.
Together with the new seahawk attack helicopter, you can enjoy the
firepower the first line of naval defense the navy of singapore
has. There are other weapons in this figates too.
That is how much I can tell you. If I tell you more I have to
kill you. :)
There might be some people here whoever may know a fair bit
more, but whatever is not in the public domain, will always remain
classified.
However, what you have described is just a portion of what is
available on public domain..
