(See) Eventueller Ersatz F126

[spooky]

Weshalb modular nutzbare Räume auch eine gewisse Größe erfordern, um Sinn zu ergeben. Du musst schon zwei-drei UxV und zusätzlich ein-zwei Betriebscontainer räumlich aufnehmen können. Die T26-MissionBay ist da schon im Minimumbereich.

Hatten wir den Artikel zur Type-26 Mission Bay und den Implikationen nicht schon mal?

Design penalties

The Mission Bay is a covered space that occupies the entire 20m breadth of the ship and covers about 300m2 midships on 1 deck and is connected to the hangar immediately aft. Access to the sea is via two hydraulically powered doors on each side and a Mission Bay Handling System (MBHS) is fitted to the deckhead on twin I-beam rails.
[...]
The MBHS is rated to lift passive items up to 15 tonnes, manned vehicles up to 10 tonnes or 5 tonnes of ammunition when alongside. There is an onboard ballast system that is designed to ensure stability as loads change in the mission bay. These weight limits are significant and define the size and potentially the capability of off-board systems deployed by Type 26.

A SOLAS requirement is that a ship of this size has two sea boats that can act as rescue craft in the case of a man overboard. The second boat is to provide redundancy in the case of one being unserviceable. Type 26 has a single boat bay on the port side, which will require the presence of a second boat to be kept in the mission bay for launch using the MBHS. (Such regulations could be ignored as a justifiable risk in wartime.) The second rescue boat could be another PAC24 although an Offshore Raiding Craft could fulfil this duty.

The MBHS, hydraulic doors and reinforced deckhead add about 100 tons of additional top weight to Type 26. To achieve this, there have been some compromises and the rest of the ship is quite densely packed, limiting options for future upgrades. The stability considerations have to factor in the embarkation and disembarkation of containers totalling 150 tonnes. There is just a 455-tonne (approx 6%) In-Service Growth Margin (IGM) for additional weight left to be added during the whole life of the ship. This is relatively low and will have to be managed carefully or require a reduction in mission bay capacity.

100 t Extragewicht, vergleichbare SOLAS Problematik etc. und dann noch die Einschränkung, das ein eventueller 2. Heli hintereinander (und dann in der Mission-Bay) steht. Zum Vergleich die Nutzlastkapazität der PPA beträgt mittschiffs 120 t mit einem 20 t Kran (bei 14m Ausladung) und der Möglichkeit dort auch einfach mit Davit-Systemen zu arbeiten.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, das wir alles was wir bei der F125 verbockt haben nun bei den high intensity LV/BV Einheiten zusätzlich wieder gut machen wollen. Ich glaube aber nicht, das man das am Ende alles gut unter einen Hut bekommt.
