The Salah al-Din class Battleship was designed according to specifications provided by the government of Ottoman Khaif by the Soyuz shipbuilding concern, part of .
Production is undertaken in Ottoman Khaif.
General
Crew: 2,076
Displacement: 82,800 tonnes unladen, 89,275 tonnes fully laden
Endurance: 100 days' steaming 44 days' combat.
Dimensions:
Length 471m
Beam 51.2m
Draught (mean) 10.87m
Armament
The main armament consists of nine DK-23 18-inch guns, firing a shell of 3,392lbs (this for an armour-piercing round). The guns have a maximum accurate range of approximately 26.9 kilometres and maximum range of 45.2 kilometres, and can fire APDS, HE-FRAG, HE and low-calibre (10-inch) guided shells, as well as a rocket-assisted shells with a range of 56km and accurate an accurate range of 23.4Km, and chemical shells. Barrel life is estimated at 270 full-charge firings per gun. The guns can elavate to 41 degrees and depress to -12 degrees. Rate of fire is approximately 3 RPM per gun.
Secondary armament is composed of 8 2A64N (for Naval) 152mm guns mounted in four twin-gun turrets with an elevation of 44 degrees and depression of -13 degrees. As on the Soyuz-class, these have a rate of fire of 8 RPM per gun. These guns have a maximum range of 24Km and an optimum accurate range of 18Km, and can fire APHE, HE, HE-FRAG and Krasnopol-M ATGM munitions. Though of limited use against other large surface vessels, the Kransopol-M is excellent against smaller craft that would otherwise necessitate expenditure of valuable 152mm ammunition.
Anti-aircraft and anti-missile defence is provided by the Aegis phased-array radar system and the Stanrdard SAM system. The Salah al-Din class carries the SM-2MR and SM-2ER SAMs, which can be launched from any of the 6 twin-armed launchers found on the ship thanks to a complex semi-automatic loading system. In this system, the loading sequence proceedss thusly:
1) The Air Defence Officer in charge of the SAM system or the SAM control systems decide, based upon the range and speed of the target, the target's electonic emissions, and the computer's possible identification of the target, which type of SAM is to be used.
2) The appropriate launcher is designated for the loading of one or two SAMs of the assigned type. It is possible to load one SAM onto each arm of the launcher.
3) The SAM is retrieved from the nearest SAM magazine of the appropriate type and placed in the missile hoist using a carousel system. Each magazine contains several loading carousels arrayed around the twelve central hoist tubes; when the SAM is selected, the correct carousel rotates until it is positioned opposite the loading arm. The loading arm retrieves the missile, rotates it to the vertical (nose-up) position, and then moves it to the hoist. This can be accomplished manually in case of a power or system failure.
4) The SAM is hoisted to the appropriate launcher. The hoist mechanism operates in a stepped manner, so as to reduce the strain on each hoist unit and if it is necessary manual operator.
ASW defence is provided by the RUR-5A ASCOR, for which there are 40 missiles. Reloading as accomplished in the same way as with the SAMs.
The Salah al-Din also carries 164 BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles, either in their TASM or their TLAM forms. No reloads for this missile are carried.
