Fisheries protection doesn’t require a 30 mm autocanon. Also, the Russian ship was monitored by more than just Tyne. Cattistock, Tyne, Protious, a Poseidon and finally an Astute which was given unusual permission to surface to announce her presence. You and your fact checking. Why spoil a good THL thread with detail? You and your measured response. Tis not the THL way. Fit in or consider your position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,787 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Just now, chartpolski said: Really ? Cheers. Yes really. An offshore patrol vessel is tasked with far more than fisheries protection. They’re deployed globally. Calling it a fisheries protection vessel is blatantly being facetious. Monitoring adversary ships is a primary tasking for an OPV. It keeps the war fighting surface combatants free for more appropriate tasking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soni found it a bit difficult to not challenge the narrative that all we sent was the fish police. Heres a proper warfighting frigate in close proximity as recently as yesterday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HMS Tyne is co-opted to the Newburn Naval Cadet base on the Tyne which I can see from my bedroom window. Of course all naval vessels perform other tasks as necessary, but don’t try to mug me off ! HMS Tyne IS a fisheries protection vessel ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their main role is maritime security and to fly the flag in low threat global theatres. They’re ocean going corvettes that carry out a lot of the taskings that the frigates used to and will be replaced by general purpose frigates. Fisheries protection and disaster relief are amongst their roles as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 8,378 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) We need mcHull to settle this battle of semantics. His piercing judgement and unrivalled military knowledge will surely provide a definitive judgement. He's a man who comes to any intelligent discussion armed with a deeply held uninformed opinion.

Born Hunter 17,787 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 f**k sorry, I mistook Tyne for a batch 2. Batch 1 are primary fish police. Batch 2 are maritime security. Fair fucks sorry about that. But I stand by the fact we didn’t just send Tyne. It was quite a show of naval force. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
