new said no explosive found, but some arm personal accessories found like Bullet Proof Vest, backpack etc。
well rule is if weapon/military enter HK port declare and get approval, even transshipment also need declare. but the shipping document paper just declare "training vehicle" never mention military equipment.   
Is time SAF built there endurance 160 LHD. so no need depend commercial shipment.

New Generation Patrol Craft To Be Launched Next Month

Marhalim Abas November 25, 2016 Malaysia- MMEA

SHAH ALAM: The first of six New Generation Patrol Craft (NGPC) for the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM) is expected to be launch next month. The keel for the first ship, built by Destini Bhd was laid on Nov. 20, last year at its facility at Port Klang.

Although the launch is on schedule, it must be noted that it will take at least another 12 months before the ship is commissioned into APMM. Perhaps APMM will be luckier in this regard compared to the senior service, RMN.

Anyhow, as Malaysian Defence had written various posts on the NGPC, please feel free to read them here HERE and Here.

To recap, the NGPC is a variant of the Fassmer 40M Coastal Patrol Vessel. It is to be armed with a SMASH RWS fitted with a 30mm gun from Aselsan and two 12.7mm machine guns. It will also come equipped with the Fulmar X mini-UAV from Thales for ISR duties. Six of the vessel is being built at the shipyard formerly owned by Destination Marine Services Sdn Bhd. Destination Marine was bought over by Destini in 2015 after it got the contract for the NGPC.

Destini will also be involved in the construction of the three 80-metre OPV program for APMM. It appears that TH Heavy was cognisant of the claims that it had no prior shipbuilding experience and therefore had entered a JV with Destini – the builder of the NGPC for the OPV program.
Last July when confirming it was in talks with APMM for the OPV program, it stated that the status of talks was in a flux.

Royal Navy’s hi-tech destroyer breaks down in NATO wargame, towed back to port

One of the Royal Navy’s cutting edge Type 45 destroyers had to be humiliatingly towed back to port just two days after setting off to take part in NATO exercises.

The HMS Duncan is believed to have suffered total propulsion failure, forcing it back into Plymouth harbor on Wednesday, according to the Telegraph.

The 4,500 ton hi-tech ship left Davenport naval base on Sunday to take part in naval exercises alongside Spanish, Portuguese and German warships.

The Plymouth Herald reports that the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 berthed in Davenport last Friday, before taking part in the training exercises on Monday. The warships were due to set off for a European port after the wargames were completed.

The incident took place off the Devon coast as the HMS Duncan was taking part in maneuvers known as Flag Officer Sea Training.

4500ton? destroyer? 

wtf are they doing there in the first place

One Turkish soldier killed, five lightly wounded in clashes in Syria - military

4500ton? destroyer? 

4500ton? destroyer? 

painted and getting ready to be launched (note they are standing on the 2nd ship under construction)

Creating a buffer for themselves. Although they have hired out the footwork to rebels, Turkish Army still send tanks and probably air strike coordinators as support.

But this incursion is a Turkish only endeavor. US already back out their support because Turkish attacks their ally SDF as well that is providing foot soldiers against ISIS.

I've actually seen this mistake made by newsies more than once its official designation is Type 45, somehow this becomes 4,500 tons I dunno why it actually displaces around 9,000 plus metric tons... what would have been called cruisers not too long ago.

well fuck this gon be good. Type 45 engines are basically the Tiger tank engines of the Royal Navy - expensively custom built machines for which there are no spares and somewhat prone to failure, aggravated by long service in the Mid East for which apparently they were not designed to withstand HMS Duncan is the AAW ship in charge of watching the Russian fleet so... this gon be good

buffer at somebody's land? hmm.. how smart of them
lol... rusty ruski boats are laufing

Not really tiger tank engine, just first war ship  using new generation IEP (integration Electric Propulsion) system  with use WR21 gas turbine (base from aircraft engine) + 2 diesel Engine. but main issue is the bad specially design Intake cooling & Exhaust system for  WR21 gas turbine cause brake down/power loss in hot temperature.  well like France/Italy/US/Japan/turkey warship also use Gas turbine engine in warship also no issue. warship using Gas turbine need very Expert design in intake/exhause/cooling system.

see from SG forum

iinm. last 2 month same class warship broke down on gulf hot waters. not one but six warships. now this 

Rolls-Royce ?

BTW we talked about rocket backblast the other day... this one is jet engine, not quite rocket but well
LMAO so hard watching the doll bergetar2
