Nice.
Wish I had an Egyptian Hakim, Helwan and Rasheed, Strictly for collector’s purposes.
Saw this and thought Chevrolet is building a Vette in Egypt?
Can't be the first...
We built M1 Abrahams there
Will the next class of Egyptian ships be known as the “BrokeWind 5000”?
A crew of 65 to operate and maintain all those systems... I suspect that the crew will do little maintenance and leave it to the dockyard when they get back.
Minimum manning complex warships (even a little one like this) sacrifices combat power for cost. I see fatigued crews in this ship’s future.
Food, water, air and fuel are all that limit a vessel
I think that’s the manufacturer’s spec sheet. The user ‘usually’ tends to allocate a larger complement.
The galley is important to me.
Food is the greatest binder at sea.
“The galley is important to me.”
the reason my dad volunteered at the end of WWII for the Navy before he could be drafted: US Navy had much better food than the other services ... which is something that mattered a lot then for a child of the Great Depression ...
Depends. If 80 is the max number of bunks, short of hot bunking, I doubt there is much room for more bunks.
Doing concurrent evolutions will be interesting to say the least.
Sea storys fights always occur in the first 2 weeks out.. woman troubles..
Now we have to go on mission with you.. and you aint worth a damn, so we sit you down, and Joey says “yeah she was cheating on you, here is a pic of her sucking my ****”
It’s brutal but we all settle in, a good cook makes a happy crew.
And then BAM! 2 weeks from making home again it starts all over!
Conical most? In high rise buildings that limits wind sway. I wonder if it is more stable in high winds at sea?
My Dear old Dad Joined the ARMY and developed a taste for Ham and Lima Bean C Rats LOL,
He grew up poor and it was the 1st time he got fed regularly, but just DAMN Pop!
I joined the Navy
