SH Defence aboard NTV130 multi role tender ship

At DALO Industry days 2024, Danish company SH Defence and German shipbuilder NVL group were showcasing for the first time the NTV 130 design.

NTV 130 is a multirole tender vessel design being proposed by NVL to replace the Type 404 / Elbe-class of the German Navy.

SH Defence and NVL have entered a partnership where the Danish company would bring in its Cube modular concept helping the design be a true flexible multi-mission vessel.

It may not be one of the prettiest looking ships out there! But those fit the role of Multi-Purpose Supply Ships to support both manned or unmanned surface vessels, and do minor yet very important missions

I'm Canadian, so glad to see this big ship compared to the smaller one that Canada is looking to get.
Hope the Canadian navy is going to do all it can to use and prepare to defend against drones.

US navy should seriously look at this design to replace their old AOER and Mine Hunters. Would be great for the Pacific.

The large aft deck would be great for launching & recovering light weight but still usefully sized flying drones.

I can see how the rail system can work, but you need to make the rails thicker to avoid warping and bending during operations at sea. Also the layout of the deck needs to take this into account.

Un curioso diseño. Tal vez poner tan cerca los mecanismos de transvase de combustible a la sala de máquinas no sea muy seguro

As before when it was demanded that those who delivered military equipment, had to make a test, like sitting on the cannon, same demands must be implemented again.
Some drawings, a model and sales media, is not sufficient.
This is about the life of a lot of sailors, and as a sailor, I don’t see this and other presented vessels to be safe. From what’s presented, I believe this to be death traps.

Just make a full scale prototype, that can be tested in all its capabilities and configurations, before try selling those vessels.
And show off what the vessels in reality is capable of.

This Vessel looks impressive. But I guess rasterizing everything to a 20´ Container don't make it automatically 100% ready for future. Some tasks doesn't work well in combination on a multi role vessel. Even if you want to execute amphibious operations regarding the 2 small openings at the stern, witch works well for towed sonar or mining equipment but not for amphibious operations using LC-Ms. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. Except you're quit the amphibious capability, executing the task only by helicopters. But then you probably need a bigger flight deck...

Highlights multi role. Delete. There... better.
