Regarding the suitability of the RBS-15 for different targets

[edit]

As noted when someone did undo my edit that removed the statement about the RBS-15 being "just too large (and too expensive) for most targets", this statement in the text was supposed to be referring to land targets. However the meaning of the text, as it stands now and as it stood before my edit, gives the impression that the RBS-15 is unsuitable for the majority of all targets, naval targets included. So, unless someone provides a cedible source that the RBS-15 is too large and expensive for all types of targets, the text has to be changed from it's current form, since it is highly misleading.

I'm gonna revert the last undo undo and add information to the text that the RBS-15 is "just too large (and too expensive) for most types of land targets". This is I accept as highly plausible and I am happy to see it included in the text. (On the other hand, someone could make the case that it probably should be included that the Polypherm is too small for many targets, but I don't care that much, so let's leave that out.) I hope this is satisfactory to everyone. MusicToDieTo (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC) a american harpoon missile costs 300000 dollar more than a rbs 15! a russian brahmos missile is almost twice as big as a rbs 15! what makes u believe that its to big or to expensive when other compareable heavy antishipmissiles are bigger and more expensive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.140.82.183 (talk) 15:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Braunschweig class not the first corvette class in the German Navy since age of sail

[edit]

The sentence "This will be the first class of ships in the German Navy since the age of sail classified as corvettes." is simply not true. Until 1884 there had been two types of steam-corvettes in the German Navy: Gedeckte Korvette and Glattdeckkorvette. Since 1884 the term Kreuzerkorvette was used for steam-corvettes in the German Navy. Blinder Seher 19:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC, there also was a 1970s-ish Bundesmarine corvette project called "Korvette 130", basically an all-guns/ASW large patrol vessel. Never went beyond drawing board stage though. 84.44.213.32 (talk) 16:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Operative use delayed

[edit]

Operative use will be delayed until 2011 b/c of serious problems with the gears:

Still delayed in 5/2012. By the way, this web-reference used as a cite in the article is no longer accessible. Davidships (talk) 22:59, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

German Army?

[edit]

"Also the German Army plans to procur..." This is obviously a mistakte because Armies don't operate ship as far as I know. Shouldn't it be the German Navy? --89.50.28.227 (talk) 16:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC) "...for land-based missions." Yes, the army. --Torsten Bätge 18:28, 14 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torsten Bätge (talk • contribs) [reply]

Planned number of units

[edit]

The article still lists 10 corvettes as planned total. However, while the German Navy once upon a time had a requirement for ten corvettes, this number was never associated directly with the Type 130 (which always had only five ships under contract). There was, later on, a very tentative "Korvette 131"-project, which never saw concrete efforts in procurement, and now the whole thing has been renamed MKS 180 (for "Mehrzweckkampfschiff 180"), which not only suggests a new class of ships, but likely also to a rather different design (probably more along the lines of an OPV, perhaps multi-hulled, who knows), which will not be called a corvette by the German Navy at all. If there are no reasonable objections, I will correct the number to "5". Para-OZ (talk) 09:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need a source

[edit]

this statement "However, in size, armament, protection and role these corvettes resemble modern anti-surface warfare (ASuW) frigates, the main difference being the total absence of any anti-submarine warfare (ASW) related sensors or weapons." need a source, the size is small today frigate are larger, probably you need to back to 80s for so small ship for get a frigate classification, their AsuW weaponry is comparable that of FAC or AsuW corvettes, their AA capability is limited to self defence Francomemoria (talk) 01:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need for ASW capabilities. The K130 is a replacement for the FACs, an ASuW-vessel with longer endurance. It is stated in the first paragraph. --2A02:908:1222:BEA0:8DF:69F4:B10A:2C7B (talk) 08:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Function

[edit]

What role do these corvettes have in a high intensity war with Russia, China or Iran?

Are they good for something, or are they good for "nothing"? --85.53.104.185 (talk) 16:35, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Defending Baltic, screen for supply ships, fighting enemy supply ships and light forces, etc.. 2A02:908:1222:BEA0:8DF:69F4:B10A:2C7B (talk) 08:52, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Builders of the main ship modules

[edit]

The article says "The ships were not built at a single shipyard; sections were constructed at different locations at the same time and later married together".

This article should say where the major modules were constructed. Compare this to Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier#Construction, where the article enumerates the different modules, and says which shipyard built each. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 13:36, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
