And obviously so is OPV
So I'll pose a question, what does the P50 (never mind P60) class have in common with the Peacock class that would allow them to be classed as "similar" vessels?
P50 class:
Length 78.84m
Beam 14m
Draught 3.8m
Speed 23 kts
Range 6000 nm @ 15 Kts
Main Armament 76mm
Peacock class:
Length 62.6m (20% shorter)
Beam 10m (nearly 30% narrower)
Draught 2.7m (nearly 30% shallower)
Speed 25+ kts (over 8% faster)
Range 2500 nm @ 17 Kts
Main Armament 76mm (same)
Based on this the new CPVs are likely to be 20-30% smaller (in all aspects) than the P60 class.
