Thyssenkrupp Estaleiro Brasil Sul (tkEBS) in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, hosted the event. the PFCT is considered the most innovative shipbuilding project ever developed in Brazil, as it involves the transfer of technology and local labor.

The frigate, which was launched on August 9, is capable of safeguarding Brazil’s extensive maritime area, which spans over 5.7 million km² and is referred to as the “Blue Amazon,” and it possesses high combat power. Among other threats, the frigate is capable of conducting search and rescue operations, monitoring and combating pollution, piracy, and illegal fishing, in addition to its defense capabilities. It is also capable of fulfilling international obligations.

The Brazilian Navy’s capacity to protect the nation’s sovereignty is to be modernized by the PFCT, which also promotes the expansion of the national defense industry and the production chain necessary for shipbuilding on Brazilian soil. More than 6,000 direct and indirect jobs will be generated during the course of the program.

Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, Embraer Defense and Security, and Atech comprise the consortium known as SPE Águas Azuis. The Naval Project Management Company (EMGEPRON) is responsible for the management of the PFCT. Construction activities have made substantial progress in accordance with the established schedule since the contract with the Navy was signed in March 2020. The construction of the Frigate ‘Tamandaré’ commenced in September 2022, and it is anticipated that the Navy will receive it by the end of 2025.

The Geoje shipyard of Hanwha Ocean hosted the keel-laying ceremony for the second vessel of the KSS-III Batch-II submarine for the ROK Navy.

Members of the Republic of Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), Hanwha Ocean, and the ROK Navy attended the keel laying ceremony.

The capacity to provide timely logistics support for more stable construction and future operations will be improved by the incorporation of more indigenous parts and systems in the second KSS-III Batch-II submarine compared to Batch-I. The total number of localized systems will increase to 70 with the inclusion of 12 additional domestically produced systems, including the lithium battery system, in Batch-II. This anticipated increase in localization is expected to provide the KSS-III with a greater degree of freedom from export controls and intellectual property disputes in future submarine exports, thereby improving the competitiveness of Korean submarines in the global market.

Completion of the second submarine’s construction is anticipated by 2026, followed by sea trials, and delivery to the ROK Navy in 2028. The first submarine, which underwent its keel laying ceremony early last year, is scheduled to be launched in the first half of 2025. The third vessel is scheduled to undergo its steel cutting ceremony in the second half of 2024.

The Russian Navy’s Gremyashchy-Class (Project 20385) corvette Provornyy was launched at the Severnaya shipyard in St. Petersburg on June 18.

Second Project 20385 (Gremyashchy-class) corvette, upgraded from Project 20380 Steregushchiy-class, is Provornyy. The ship’s keel was laid July 27, 2013. Western sanctions over the 2014 Russian annexation of Ukrainian Crimea slowed construction.

Instead of Steregushchiy-class engines, Project 20385 corvettes had Rolls-Royce MTU 16V1163 TB93 diesel engines with Renk reduction gearboxes. Also new were shaft lines and CPP propellers, likely from Andritz Hydro. CPP propellers on combat ships this size were new in Russia and the USSR. Active fin stabilizers from B+V Industriech were also purchased. German companies pulled out of Project 20385 corvette deliveries due to Russian sanctions. MTU stopped supplying main engines, but Gremyashchy’s propellers, shaft lines, and stabilizers could be transported to the shipyard. The program suffered greatly. The only option was to redesign the 20385 engine compartment for Russian propulsion.

Provornyy lost again on December 17, 2021. An evening fire started on the corvette under construction. The ship was severely damaged by organizational errors during firefighting.

The mast and upper superstructure were burned, and the vertical missile launcher was damaged. The Sriedne-Nevskiy shipyard in Pontonny near St. Petersburg makes the Project 20380 and 20385 corvette superstructures from vacuum-infused GRP laminates. Officials claimed that repairs would not delay construction, but this was propaganda. The new superstructure was installed on Proworny in November 2022.

The Canadian-led Combined Task Force (CTF) 150 of the Combined Maritime Forces wrapped up Crimson Barracuda, a focused operation to counter narcotics smugglers in the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, April 14.

During the operation, units from the Royal Navy, Indian Navy, U.S. Costal Guard, and U.S. Navy seized approximately 4,917 kg of narcotics, including two seizures in one day. Indian and American air assets as well as Canadian space-based intelligence conducted surveillance and reconnaissance of suspicious vessels, contributing to the operation’s success.

The Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Lancaster interdicted over 800 kg of hashish, 390 kg of m**hamphetamines, and 110 kg of he**in, April 10. Later that day, the U.S. Coast Guard Sentinel-class fast-response cutter USCGC Clarence Sutphin Jr (WPC 1147) seized 257 kg of m**h, 311 kg of hash, 17 kg of amphetamines, and 92 kg of he**in.

The following day, Lancaster seized and destroyed 2,000 kg of hash from a dhow, preventing the narcotics from being used to fund criminal activities.

The Indian Navy’s Talwar-class frigate INS Talwar boarded a suspected dhow, resulting in 453 kg of m**h, 71 kg of he**in, and 416 kg of he**in being confiscated and destroyed. This seizure was also the Indian Navy’s first seizure as a CMF member, having joined last November.
