Thanks for double checking.

So H I Sutton got the diesels numbers from the wikipedia? He just lost a lot of points.

The persian version of the wikipedia is cryptic (according to google translate):

uncertain, estimated two engines each with a power of 10,000 horsepower, four 550 kW diesel generator

Regarding the Bell, this is how I did not find it. But the 212 should be displayed from the Augusta-Bell part of the name if I search for Bell.

Well, you can submit the db name change.

Also, I always check Navypedia. Its free and very reliable.

It is not a db change, the filter will show what is written before the --

But not what is beyond it.

Just noticed another thing, the sonar is also missing? It is in the 75 Dena, but not in the 74 Sahand, both are Moudge class.

The 212? It has dipping sonar listed.

The frigate? I am pretty sure the sonar was never installed. It was originally prepped for it, but noy sure the early Mowj's ever were retrofitted with it. It might have been part of the upgrade it was in port for. Source Janes 2018 and Navypedia.

The warship, the sonar dome is displayed in the capsized pic.

As I said, it was prepped but never installed. It looks like the first three units never had the sonar installed.

OK, thanks.

Just noticed you may test this innovation in CMO, or try it at least


The result was not very good and the project is cancelled. 6% damage on the Chinese carrier after 4 impacts

The captain of the Eisenhower continues posting while the carrier is returning home.

Weapons displayed, including some machine guns in the front. I bet more than one in the forum is able to identify all of them




Not sure the campaign may be considered a victory, probably because of capping by political reasons, but sure he is proud of his people.



Situation right now according to Ian Ellis.

RIMPAC 2024, Pitch Black, and CARAT Thailand all occurring simultaneously or nearly so. PLAN CSG exercising between Taiwan and the Philippines. Recent Sino-Russian Naval Exercises. Lots of multinational firepower cruising the Pacific. Sounds like a nice sandbox for a scenario.
