BNS Shadhinota is a Type 056 stealth surface warfare guided missile corvette of the Bangladesh Navy. She was built at Wuchang Shipyard of China.
Career
BNS Shadhinota was launched at Wuchang Shipyard on 30 November 2014.[1] The ship is under sea trial now.[2]
Design
The ship is 90 meters long with a displacement of 1,300 tonnes. She carries a double diesel engine with distance adjustable tail rotor which can provide enough power for her top speed of more than 25 knots. She has two power stations, forward and rear, and electricity supply works with one of the power station sunk. Compared to the traditional round bilge boat, the ship is designed with V type, having angle bending line at the bottom so that she can sail with high speed in rough sea states. However, the ship does not carry any type of sonars so she has no anti-submarine warfare capabilities. As a result, she will act as a surface warfare corvette only. BNS Shadhinota has a helicopter deck at her back which can support a medium-size helicopter, but she has no hangar.
Armaments
The ship carries one H/PJ-26 76 mm main gun placed forward. Two H/PJ-17 30mm remote controlled gun turrets at amidship work as CIWS for the ship. For air defence role, she carries an eight-cell FL-3000N launcher, which is the Chinese version of RAM. Anti-ship missiles will be installed in the ship soon. The ship does not carry any ASW weapons, as it has no sonars.
