Guys from the Navy - What are the Differences between Frigate, Corvette, Destroyer

Re: Guys from the Navy - What are the Differences between Frigate, Corvette, Destroye
in terms of tonnage, corvette is smallest of the 3, followed by frigate and destroyer in ascending order. corvette can be 1000 to 2000 tonnes, while a frigate can be from 1000+ to 4000 tonnes, and a destroyer (in the us navy) is typically 4000 to 7000+ tonnes. although tonnage does not truly determine definition and class, the size and mass of each type are critical in supporting the mission categories each type is intended for.
for example, a corvette is typically meant for light specialized missions, such as either anti-sub (asw corvette) or anti-air (missile corvette) seldom anti-surface or anti-ship. it can also be used for coastal and escort missions of non-capital ships. the intoduction of the littoral combat ships (lcs) has rendered the corvette semi-irrelevant for coastal missions. however, it is still used for near-shore missions as lcs is not deployed widely. essentially, it is not as multi-purpose and longer range than the frigate and destroyer.
the frigate is bigger and can hold more weapon systems than the corvette. it is primarily used for amphibious support, merchant or cargo shipping escort and screening of larger slower ships. sometimes they are used as frigate screens for the fleet, such as a carrier battle group. but they are limited with weapon systems, range and firepower of weapons compared to the destroyer. more frigates are becoming multi-role, multi-purpose defensive ships, and some asw frigates are now capable of anti-air missions too.
the destroyer is the true blue ocean small fleet combatant that has both offensive and defensive capabilities. it is also the fastest fleet or cbg screener that is multi-role and multi-purpose in many naval combat situations. sort of like the handy jack of all trades in the navy toolbox. the one mission it cannot do is act like an aircraft carrier. some classes of destroyers are becoming larger yet faster that they may render the cruiser obsolete. the operational range and time spent at sea are longer than those of frigates.

Always have this silly fantasy imagining the scene of Yamato & Musashi having an orgy with New Jersey, Missouri & Iowa, with some Zeros and Corsairs overhead, will be a scene to behold.

yes. the cruiser is bigger, heavier, more well armed and can stay out in the ocean far longer than the destroyer. after the cruiser is the heavy cruiser followed by the battlecruiser and then the battleship, which is the largest of their kind - gun platforms. cruisers now are mainly missile platforms. the latter 3 are obsolete, and they are mostly wharfed dockside as museums, memorials and mothballed behemoths - not really fit for modern naval warfare except amphibious shore bombardment.

Is sinkapore buying this ship soon?
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/12/navy-sends-hottest-new-ship-to-singapore-amid-budget-cuts/
Wonder if sinkapore is paying the US for the presence? US Navy doesn't have the dough, yet it sends the latest ship to sinkapore. Reason?

No, but we have CPC (Coastal Petrol Craft), PC, MGB (Missile Gun Boat) and LST (Landing Ship Tank).
All these hardware are not important, we have many Admirals from rear to front to defend us.

The Victory class missile corvettes are multi-purpose ships based on the MGB 62 design by Germany's Lürssen shipyard for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). The six ships were commissioned between 1990 and 1991 and form the 188 Squadron of the RSN.

Coastal Patrol craft...where they can sleep on duty in it..
My place,Pasir Ris beach park, Indo burglers came in sampan and cruise in Sungei Api Api...land in the mangrove swarm, then go the terrace house, break in and ransacked the three house. and scoot off in their sampan.
Stick their parang on the slope behind one of the house..St Times has taken a photo of it..
What will be the consequences if they came with assult rifles and bombs to put in Orchard road...??
Admiral Teo Chee Hean to resign..??? ( he was then the Defence minister).
