I just noticed
9 Billions of Malaysian Ringgits is about $2b
the specs of Malaysia’s Gowinds (according to
Length: 111 meters (up from 107)
Breadth: 16 meters
Full load displacement: about 3,000 tonnes (up from 2,730)
Max speed: 28 knots
Crew: 106
Range: 5,000 nm
Endurance: 21 days
The ship models shown at a recent defense exhibition show a full helicopter hangar, and Boustead Heavy Industry Corporation has said that it will be capable of embarking helicopters up to the size the RMAF’s 12 ordered EC725 Caracal search and rescue/ special forces helicopters. Malaysia’s Navy could also choose to embark any of its 6 AgustaWestland Super Lynx 300 naval helicopters, or 6 Eurocopter AS 350 Fennec light utility helicopters.
Key Sensors
DCNS’ preference for its SETIS combat system won the day, over the Malaysian Navy’s reported preference for Thales’ Tacticos.
Thales SMART-S Mk2 3D multibeam radar
Rheinmetall’s TMEO Mk2 – TMX/EO Radar/ Electro-optical tracking and fire control system
Thales Captas family for hull sonar
ASW suite with towed array sonar
(I ADD: )
Weapons Array
Pictures from DSA 2012 Defense exhibition in Kuala Lumpur appear to show 12 vertical launch cells, mounted behind the main gun. These will be DCNS’ Sylver family. Sylver A35 cells are the most likely choice, given the ship’s size and expected weapon fit:
BAE’s 57mm Mk.3 naval gun will be provided in a stealth cupola, courtesy of the BHIC Bofors Asia Sdn Bhd joint venture. Confirmed in 2013.
MBDA VL-MICA air defense missiles and their ACL containers in the Sylver cells
8 of MBDA’s MM40 Exocet Block III anti-ship missiles mounted topside
2 of MSI’s remotely operated 30mm guns on top of the helicopter hanger
AND IN ADDITION A PAIR OF TRIPLE TORPEDO TUBES (MY GUESS)

Our own SD member, NavyRecognition, spoke with Anuar bin Murad, Director of Defense & Security at DSA 2014, the 14th Defence Services Asia Exhibition and Conference that held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and got a really good update on the upcoming Malaysian Navy SGPV - LCS, Gowind Second Generation Patrol Vessel - Littoral Combat Ship program for the Royal Malaysian Navy.
More good info there.
Last year, NavyReconginiton did another article on the RMM SGPV - LCS, and he had asked me to come up with some graphics for it:
