        Blue max, I agree, those look like they would be ideal. Are they a potential replacement for the Peacocks one day in the inshore role ?

        The RNR units used to each have their own minesweepers, but defence cuts in the early 90's put paid to that. Most of them went to Brazil. Is it likely that the NSR would be budgeted for a vessel like this ?

        I take it that anything operated by the NSR would be for training purposes, to keep seamens skills alive for when they are attached to a regular navy unit ?

        Something along the lines ofthe Stormforce 11 would allow them to conduct overnight passages, navigational training and be lightly armed if required.

          I wouldnt say replacement more inline with a attitions to the fleet. Theses vessels could form the basis for the new vessel the Comodore Kavanagh has been recently been talkin about they could preform numourous task such as Maritime Security Operations,Training And ATCP Co-op etc..

          These vessel could form part of a small dedicated NS/NSR CO-OP Fleet/unit crewed by both Full Time/Part Time it could form the basis for bring not alone NSR Enlisted Personnel to higher standard but could also bring NCO/Officers to higher standard by achieveing there certain amount of Hours At Brigdekeeping etc.. under-supervision an the like.. (As Mentioned Previously On This Thread)

          The NSR spend a large proportion of time training as a large proportion of man days are spent on call up to Navy For Full Time Service this will be hopefully increased for them when new legislation come into play from the Goverment..

            It would be a big boost to both the NS and NSR to get something along these lines. But what is the possible cost per unit here and would 4 units be enough to handle in shore duties?!?

              They'd never buy new for the NSR..put (keep) them on the PV's and dont waste money on smaller dinghies

                On a slightly connected note, a type of craft I have always been keen to see used by the NSR is shortly to replace the older vessel on station. The Cork Pilot Launches, Failte and Sonia will soon be joined by a new Locally built 42' boat.


                These type of boats are fast, have excellent seakeeping qualities and with its twin 450hp caterpillar engines, reliability shouldn't be a problem either. Considering that these boats are designed to regularly crash into larger vessels in a controlled manner, they are built tough.
                This boat would normally have a crew of 2 and have the ability to carry 6 pilots. Seated, wearing harnesses.


                Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                  Has there been any move on this? I am hearing rumblings about new Naval reserve craft for a while...

                      Well there has been a good bit of talk about it, but has an order actually been placed?

                      When the said vessel is tied up alongside in the basin then I will believe!

                      Then again I'm just bitter.

                        Well has a vessel be proposed for the role?!?

                            How long of a life do the NSR launches have left?

                              Supposedly quite a few years, but the ability to expand these vessels roles is somewhat hampered by the different designs and varying capabilities. A board has supposedly sat to decide on where to go with these boats (i.e. replacements for them) and how to expand their roles (along the line of port security, etc), like USCG boats.



                              or USN versions

                                good idea IMO.
