ChineseJunk SG Stealth frigate names unveiled. RSS Formidable, RSS Intrepid, RSS Steadfast, RSS Tenacious, RSS Stalwart and RSS Supreme. The Intrepid name was last used for an old LST.
|-|05| SG source?Not that i’m doubting you but i’d like the story that comes with this press releases or whatever
clarencebk SG Some of the names so chimz i gotta look up the dictionary for meaning. After checking all of them, they all seems to mean strong in strength. RSN is really banking hard on the strength of these Frigates to guard our waters / project strength.
kanzer SG Project Delta frigates to enter service in 2007 Singapore has indicated that the Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN's) new Project Delta multimission stealth frigates will enter service from 2007 - a slippage of about a year on the original programme announced in 2000. [Jane's Navy International - first posted to http://jni.janes.com - 27 November 2003] my guess is that the integration of the equipment is not all that smooth. i think that there may still be bugs around after the service date...... just like our LRT and MRT might not be that bad after all....... more time to choose the helos though.
spencer99 SG The lead ship's name a lot of Sha Qi. Whenever they are really formidable or not doesn't really matter. It is still the most powerful ship in our Fleet. So must give appropriate name. A good example is "Victory" for the MCVs in the late 80s or early 90s. Actually I still think Pedra Branca is a good name lor, and will be even more provocative.
Fairyland SG Nice impressive names. 1st one is RSS Formidable. What's the names for the 2nd and so hulls? So they can do better than look straight ahead even though a bloody giant ship was crashing into them!
spencer99 SG Names of 2nd-6th ship. RSS Intrepid, RSS Steadfast, RSS Tenacious, RSS Stalwart and RSS Supreme.
koxinga SG It is on Mindef website. Anyway, what do here think of the names? I am told by some other people from overseas the names sounds very RN (Royal Navy) and they ask why we choose such names instead of something more local. After all, we are not ang moh or our naval tradition comes from the RN.
Laplace SG Second to fifth ship names are very good ones. But first and last ones are really too provocative. The ones that gave and decided on the "Formidable" and "Supreme" must had chips on their shoulders. Sounds as if they are challenging anyone out there to dare come and sink their boat. Genna collide with cargo ship not enough, now aiming for oil-tanker.
Laplace SG Local? Like what? RSS Hougang? RSS Ghim Moh? RSS Tanglin? RSS Aljunied? Personally I think the new ships could be named after important icons of our nation: RSS Yusoff bin Ishak (4th ship of the line) RSS Benjamin Shears (5th ship of the line) RSS Toh Chin Chye (3rd ship of the line) RSS Goh Keng Swee (1st ship of the line) RSS David Marshal (5th ship of the line) RSS Albert Winsemius (2nd ship of the line)
Laplace SG Righteous! Anyway, my friends and I came out with a couple of our own. Inspired, modified and plagarised from another forum about names for the UK's new CVFs. Bless those witty English. 1. RSS At-Least-Better-Than-The Maldives 2. RSS Still-Not-A-Barzan F2000 3. RSS Will-Not-Collide-With-Civilian-Vessels 4. RSS Got-A-Better-Deal-Than-The Taiwanese 5. RSS My-Name-Is-Unique-Your-Name-Is-A-Cliche 6. RSS Ran-Out-Of-Names
Fairyland SG I fully agree! We need to remember our heros. Probably more apt for the helicopter carriers we are getting to replace the 6 MCVs and the SSBNs which will replace the PVs.
laurence82 SG How about Lee's class of ships RSS Lee Kuan Yew RSS Lee Hsien Loong RSS Lee Hsien Yang RSS Lee Wei LIng RSS Mdm Ho Ching Sounds formidable enough hehe....
edLow SG This remind me of a song frm army..... wayang. wayang. wayang wa----yang. wayang. wayang. wayang wa----yang. They say we wayang. We say they wayang. Actually, ******* wayang wayang,
