Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

[Maxman1]

I would be fine with that on a proper corvette. But not necessary on an OPV. Need that FC radar to properly operate a 57mm, so you would have to pull CMS and the FC from the CPF as well.

Then pull those off, too. Would just be scrapped otherwise.

whats wrong with a slightly bigger and faster Kingston?

Why do we need a longer, faster ship armed with a pair of 50 cals?

Let us hopefully not have our own FCS fiasco asking one vessel to do to many conflicting tasks.

that was the original ask on a MCDV replacement was it not? A little faster and better seakeeping while remaining economical to run

What do you guys think of the sigma class Corvette. Sigma Combatants | Damen

In a Canadian sense light means a 25mm to 40mm and 50 cal.positions.

Light through the rumour mill could mean anything.

If that was the range, I’d hope they’d go with the 30mm Lionfish from the CSC. I’d also like to see AOPS upgraded to that as well. The 25mm is hampered by limited selection in munitions. No air burst and lower elevation may make a difference with regards to drones, no matter how uncommon that situation might be. I would like to see whatever the CMMC or OPV turns out to be to have at least the same radar set as the AOR. Is it possible to cue the 30mm from a Sea Giraffe?
