At the end of last week, the Australian Navy's new supply ship, the NUSHIP Stalwart, left its shipyard in Spain, heading for the southern hemisphere. The ship, which was built at Navantia in Ferrol, is expected to arrive at her new home port of HMAS Stirling on Western Australia's Garden Island after a thirty-day voyage. There, final work as well as combat and communication systems will be installed and tested by national companies. The Australian Ambassador to Spain, Sophia McIntyre, and Navantia President Eduardo Dobarro attended the farewell ceremony in Ferrol. The Stalwart (A 304), which has not yet entered service, is the second and last supply ship of the Supply class. The units are 174...

Green light for second Constellation frigate

Fincantieri Marinette Marine has received an order from the US Department of Defence for the construction of another frigate. It will be the second ship of the future Constellation class, whose design is based on the French-Italian Fremm frigates. From the mid-twenties, they were to replace the US Navy's unpopular and weakly armed Littoral Combat Ships. The Navy's specifications therefore included low development, construction and operating costs as well as a more powerful armament, which was to be less than that of the Arleigh Burke class. The contract value for the ship, which is to be named USS Congress, also includes detailed changes to the existing design and amounts to around 554 million dollars. At...

Wieder kann die Flottenliste der US Navy um ein Schiff erweitert werden. Am 22. Mai wurde das neueste Littoral Combat Ship, die USS Mobile (LCS 26), in Dienst gestellt. Sie ist das fünfte Schiff der Navy, das den Namen der Hafenstadt im Bundesstaat Alabama trägt. Ihre neue Heimat wird die USS Mobile im kalifornischen San Diego finden. Zufall oder Absicht? Gebaut wurde das Schiff bei Austal USA, einer Werft in … Mobile. Coronabedingt fand die Zeremonie im „kleinen Kreis“ statt. Was bei der Navy allerdings 400 (sic!) geladene Gäste bedeutet. Das 13. Schiff der Independence-Klasse wird zu einem Zeitpunkt...

Der 21. Mai 2021 markiert den 290. Jahrestag der Gründung der russischen Pazifikflotte. Und was ist an diesem Jubeltag schöner als ein Geschenk, das man sich selbst machen kann? Also hat man sich einige Gedanken gemacht und kurzerhand das neueste Schiff des Projekts 12700 erstmals in seinen neuen Heimathafen einfahren lassen. Im schönen Petropawlowsk-Kamtschatski, einer rund 180 000 Einwohner zählenden Stadt an der Südspitze der Halbinsel Kamtschatka im fernen Osten Russlands und wichtiger Stützpunkt der Pazifikflotte, fand eine dem Anlass entsprechend würdevolle Zeremonie statt. Die Jakow Balajew ist das fünfte Boot der Alexandrit-Klasse, aber erst das vierte, das im...
