I am guessing that the LCP on the Absalon will be replaced with a containerised TAS which means that the vessels can switch roles easily. Same would go for the MH-60R's which can still be exchanged for AW-101's should the need arise.

The Absalon, Snare, Huitfeldt, Willemoes and Juels are all similar hulls. Adding the towed array is to give a " Long Range " detection, and I presume a commonality to all ships. Their ship off the Horn of Africa was very effective and credited with the largest bag of Pirates apprehended and also functioned as a command ship. Now it is a Role change and a big training commitment. Lucky for them they have the technical prowess to stitch their hardware, software, and simulation together. We dumped our TAS simulator and AA training Dome and went totally live fire training for all MG and HMG training. All Danish concern lies around their commitment to the 5th Largest MN Fleet in the world of 700 ships +. The Danish Fleet Commanding officer is aware of the need to monitor submarine traffic in their sea areas. We on the other hand live in the middle of the submarine operations area for the western hemisphere and stand somewhat helpless.Attached FilesFor now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostThat looks the right configuration for 12.5 caliber training. Like to see it tidied up and ship shape. presume it has an instructors consul and a variety of targets and weather scenarios. The Remada type allows for 8 target types . The dome allowed for diving targets, a generated cartwheel 300kt sight, sound effects etc.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

The Instructors console was out of shot, and he/she could add conditions and targets, and provide the normal instruction on bearing as one would expect to find aboard ship. The photo was taken at the end of an open day for civvies like myself.

[QUOTE=The Usual Suspect;481768]Relevant to EPV Roles: ROK Navy Took Delivery Of First-Ever Dedicated Training Ship
The Koreans have a high level of skill in major shipbuilding and the class of vessel built HADR/Training / logistics is not too difficult. Obviouslly usage and size of training capacity is a factor. Naval ship training is probably as high as 80% on-the-job with much mentoring input and testing. There is every good reason to man temporarily decommissioned units as a static training facility with a view to taking her to sea when everyone is fledged to do so. A running training ship would be useful but must have all of the elements required within the fleet. Giving our size a class capability up to 100 trainees, in place of a company sized military unit, might be adequate for training/ field days/demonstrations.

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostI would not write the concept off but rather a three vessel group, similar to " Archer " class to properly train young ratings/officers in shipboard operations and handling. Don't know of any Navies without a seaborne training element.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
