TYPE 62, DAUNTLESS CLASS DESTROYER, GUIDED MISSILE, MINESWEEPER, MINELAYER, HELICOPTER CAPABLE

Overview
The Type 62 is a destroyer for all round purposes, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-mine warfare, shore bombardment, anti-air warfare, and anti surface warfare. The Type 62 possess significant to small ability to do each of these tasks on it's own or with a task group of similar vessels or support vessels. The Type 62 has sufficient armarment to deal with any threat it may encounter, with the exception of a tactical nuclear strike on it's assigned group.

Weaponry
Firstly, the Type 62's primary shore bombardment weapon is a Westenov 120mm ETC cannon, firing a burst of three rounds every two minutes in a similar system to the United Kingdom's AS80Paladin artillery. Approximately a hundred to a hundred and fifty shells are kept in storage for the Westenov.

Secondly, the Type 62 is equipped with two Bolshevik Class VLS. The Bolshevik Class is the Hogsweatian equivalent of the Mk 41, fitted to all our ships. Holds 72 of the Aster25/45 SAM class, also similar number of missiles comparable to ASROC VLS and around 45 of the Tomohawk missiles, enabling the Type 62 to hit targets underneath water level, above water level, and at water level.

Thirdly, the Type 62 has two sets of eight barrelled [in total] tube launched Patriot Class SSMs. [This is my designation, not comparable to the US Patriot SAM]

For secondary anti submarine work there are four, in total, 12.75" Torpedo Tubes, mounted in side parts for protection.

And lastly, the Type 62 has six 35mm Autocannons for anti aircraft, helicopter, and missile work, each with a firing rate of around 1800 RPM tracked by the WAATS. [Westenov Anti Air Tracking System]

Mine Laying and Countermeasures
From the back of the craft the Type 62 can launch and keep a single PAP 104 Mk5 remote controlled submersibles (RCMDS 2) for anti mine warfare and also for laying mines, although not as effectively as a minelayer.

Systems
The Type 62 uses the Hogsweatian Equivalent of the European PAAMS [Principle Anti Air Missile System] for it's VLS guidance, the Sampson Radar, a multi function radar combined the surveillance and tracking roles.

The Type 62 uses the Type 1050 and Type 1100 Sonar systems for submarine tracking. It incorporates LADAR, LIDAR, and RADAR for it's surveillance.

Aircraft
The Type 62 can hold two rotary aircraft, all of the following type are compatible.
EH101 Merlin
Mk 8 Navy Lynx
MH-53E Sea Dragon
MH-53J Pave Low III
CH-60 Sea Hawk
KA-25 Hormone
[Note there are several other types of aircraft compatible, this is not a definitive list. Export versions can be modified]

Armour
The hull and superstructure armour is a mix of steel and aluminum alloy mixed together to create an armour 4" thick.

On the hull, The ASAD - Anti Submarine Armour Defence has been installed. Each, about 48 in total, is a bumped bulkhead weighing somewhere around five tonnes. The idea is that any torpedo that hits them will do less damage to the hull. These can be produced without, at a quicker cost, but the Hogsweatian Naval Guard has them installed out of doctrine.

Engines
COGOG (Combined Gas and Gas) turbines, 2 shafts
6 turbines producing 55MW
31 Knots Per Hour

Displacement
9,490 tonnes

Dimensions
Length: 194 metres
Draft: 8 Metres
Beam: 17.2 Metres

Complement
The Type 62's complement is 252 - there is a high level of automation in the Type 62.
The Type 62 can also hold around twenty four Soviet Marines. Officers being one captain, three naval engineer lieutenants and two naval lieutenants, 258 total.

Export
The Export Type is available at six years production time per vessel and a lump payment of 2.5 Billion United States Dollars. With the ASAD the price is 2.6 Billion United States Dollars, but five years production.

1.) Ure is not a word
2.) there is no way a feb 2005 nation can purchase and mantain 70 destroyers, especially of this size.

The Roman Navy is highly interested in purchasing several of these highly capable vessels to supplement its domestically produced ships.

However before we confirm an order we wish to know if a spare parts contract can be arranged along with a training project to ensure that our crews can get the most out of the advanced systems that these vessels contain.

Please do contact us about wether such arrangements are possible.
