Singapore deadly submarine fleet

84mmrr SG

An interesting article, seldom see Msian analyst talking abt RSN strength. they are more worried about the Vastergotland-class subs than our frigates.
It also shows that years of training in Sweden is a critical success factor.

2 attack submarines cost US$128m seems to be a better value than 6 stealth frigates at a cost of S$1.6b.

Got this article from militarynuts.com

our submarines are able to sneak in silently and destroy ships. this gives it an advantage over the frigates because u never know when they will strike, which in turn causes fear. however, the frigates are able to attack land targets too, unlike the submarines.

it's not good to generalise whether the money is well spent or not because they are used in different roles

HMS Gotland is on lease to the US Navy

The Swedish crew has performed extremely well, receiving considerable praise from their American colleagues. HMS Gotland has been able to remain undetected
. The Stirling AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) system, developed and installed by Kockums, has enabled the vessel to escape detection, even when sought by talented US crews, and even under difficult operating conditions.

Oh pleassee....the article portrayed RSN's subs as a threat to SEA...as if M'sia's Scorpene sub is 'harmless'? Rolling Eyes

Which is the ASEAN nation that snatches a fellow ASEAN island and eventually claimed it as their own (read the Sipadan Islands) thru some int'l court?

Shotgun SG

I think they are more concerned abt the RSN Subs being a security problem to their own navy lar. Not as a threat to SEA as a whole.

Black Aces SG

This is not personal Shotgun. But as if SIN is not concerned about the RMN subs being a security problem to the RSN? Confused

Shotgun SG

Well, maybe they just like stating the obvious?
