BNS Prottoy is a Type 056 stealth surface warfare guided missile corvette of Bangladesh Navy. She was built at Wuchang Shipyard of China.
Career
BNS Prottoy was launched at Wuchang Shipyard, China on 30 December 2014.[1] The ship is under sea trial now.[2] The ship was handed over to the Bangladesh Navy on 11 December 2015.[3][4] She reached Chittagong, Bangladesh on 10 January 2016.[5] On 19 March 2016, she was commissioned to Bangladesh Navy.[6]
Design
The ship is 90 metres (300 ft) long with a displacement of 1300 tonnes. She carries twin diesel engines with a distance adjustable tail rotor which can provide enough power for her top speed of more than 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). She has two power stations, former 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 Prottoy has a helicopter deck at her back which can support a medium size helicopter but she has no hangar.
Electronics
The ship uses SharpEye I-Band (X-band) and E/F-Band (S-band) radars from Kelvin Hughes with MantaDigital tactical display software.[7] These radars are used for surface search and navigation purposes. They can be used for Helicopter control and recovery also. A low peak transmission power of these radars reduces the probability of intercept by ESM systems.
Armaments
The ship carries one H/PJ-26 76 mm main gun placed forward. 2 x 2 cell C-803 Anti-ship missiles are installed in the ship for anti surface role. Two H/PJ-17 30 mm remote controlled gun turrets at amidship work as CIWS for the ship. For air defence, she carries an eight-cell FL-3000N launcher, which is the Chinese version of RAM.
