Könangrik faan a Friislon

[Ro-Po Max]

Superb work Sir!!!

[Mitchell van Os]

I have updated the drawing with a new growler from christian 101.
Also Vossiej's idea was exchanging 2x ram with 2x sovraponte. And exchange SM2 for VLASROC that can be used with the screens their sonas through LINK.

Kristianstad class, Logistic Support Vessel

The Kristianstad class was develop for operating in coastal and warm waters of the Fryssian Antilles, Faeröer islands and Vinljund. For this reason 3 were constructed by Nuurdsee Substrootspräke Werken (Northsea Submarine Works) in Bremen. The vessel are named after the capital cities of the islands of which they are assigned to. Their main tasks are to support smaller navy ships and marines, they can replenish smaller patrol craft and minehunters with fuel, food, water and ammunition. It can act as a command center for Marine operations. Their secondary task is to provide humanitarian aid in case storms and hurricanes.

The Kristianstad class is equipped with a 20t crane to load and unload cargo from her deck and cargo holds. Its also used to lift vehicles like 4 to 10 ton trucks, RHIB and autonomous underwater vehicles. The vessels make their own fresh water and bottle it for later use or for humanitarian aid. On the front deck there is room for 12 20ft containers, these can be mission specific or filled with supplies.

Awesome! By the way, I also love the template.

Finally after hours and hours of drawing and trying to make it as realistic as possible.

My original intend was to create an Joint support Ship better than the one i currently serve on (HNLMS Karel Doorman A833).
This already grew quickly to a ship that was way more expensive and larger.

However here is the story and the ship:

The Royal Fryssian Navy and its Union needed a replacement for the 3 old CBG AOR's they currently had in their inventory.
These 3 units where of the A135 Class and employed since 1977 till 2016.

The old units where just regular large tanker that could move with the same speed as the fleet carriers that had regular engines. This speed was set around 27-28 knots.
The new CVN's however where faster and larger, their CBG also have bigger units with faster speeds.
This set the requirement for the first specs of the replacements in the A135 Class.
Besides this the world was changing and the fleets aswell. Less units but bigger, and more tasks than one.

It was thereafter decided that these ships would become JSS (Joint Support Ship) type vessels.
An ship of the class JSS can do various amount of tasks.
-Replenishment At Sea
-Transport duties
-Humanitarian duties
-Hospital duties
-Repair duties

With all these ideas packed togheter, the design board's started to draw.
Out of those plans the A170 Kopenhuuwen Class was born.

However duo to budget cuts and rising costs the class was just hold at 2 units.


*Building data*

Both ships have a Role 2 hospital with 3 surgical rooms, 10 beds for fast treatment and 35 treatment beds for post op.
They can also take an CT scan with them and employ extra fieldbeds in case of emergency
Besides these role 2 items they can also employ dentist's with 2 chairs and a x-ray. And they can treat people with deceases in quarantaine rooms.

The following depends on setup of the ship, but it indicated the maximum of each.
For support and transport these ships can hold 5x 45 foot containers outside on deck, and 4x 20 foot.
Internally they can fit 10x 20 foot containers that can be cooled or heated by power. And 10x 20 foot containers for dry storage.
They have a vehicle deck that has 2000 lane meters for trucks and cars.
Two cranes for 40 tons of carriage.
Dry ammunition/goods stores for 2000 tonnes.
7000M3 of fuel, 7000m3 Aviation fuel, 500M3 water storage. And 4 water makers with a bottle filler system



As of 2021 both units have been used in various operations.
RFNS Kopenhuuwen helped in humanitarian aid for Haiti after the hurricane in 2016
RFNS Kopenhuuwen departed with a CBG to Asia for a show of force in 2018
RFNS Helsingborg helped the Kariibisk eilunen Friislon against sars-covid-19 in 2020
RFNS Helsingborg departed to West Africa to distribute and perform vaccination duties against sars-covid-19 in 2021

Total: 57 hulls created
* 4 hulls on order by Indonesia

-1992-M454, Vigsø Bugt (Converted to minehunter)

As of today 14 ships are still in service within the Fryssian Navy

Between 1999-2001 all minesweepers where converted to the minehunter role and became drone motherships like the Type 343's.

All minehunters can be motherships for the FG-F1 Troika MCM drones.
Each ship can command 2 to 3 of these drones at the same time. (Will be drawn later)
The Fryssian Union owns as of 2021 around 12 of these drones.




Replacements:
All Fryssian Union ships will be replaced by a multirole trimaran hulled shipclass.
This future shipclass can be configured in one of the three following roles, Corvette/Coastal defence/Minehunter/Transport ship.
It is still not clear when this class will be build and if these ships will also be build for other nations.
However what is known that the following specs will be build:
A total of 10 units will be build according to the Minehunter role
A total of 8 units will be build according to the Corvette role

Nice! Love the fact that less "glamorous" vessels get your attention, too.

Nice! Love the fact that less "glamorous" vessels get your attention, too.

Thanks! Minehunters are one of the most important small ships in any navy. Especially in Europe after ww2!

Nice work mate

Future Multipurpose Trimaran Ship (MTS) Class:

This class of trimaran ships have been envisioned to replace 14 minehunter of the Skagerrak Class and 8 corvettes of the Eligable Class.
The plan is to build 10 ships in the same spec with capabilities for the Corvette role. Two of these will have lower spec weapons as build but capable of upgrading to the corvette role.
The remaining 8 can be rebuild in a short time to the Corvette role, in change all ships can become MCM spec or Transport.
