싱가포르 해군의 218SG급 2번함인 RSS 임페커블, RSS 일러스트리어스함이 13일 독일 TKMS 조선소에서 동시에 진수됐습니다. 싱가포르 해군에는 2023년 인도될 예정입니다.
218SG급은 4척이 인도될 예정이며, 배수량은 2천톤, 전장은 70m, 연료전지 AIP 시스템을 갖추고 있음 21인치 어뢰발사관 8문을 갖추고 있습니다.
1번함은 RSS 인빈시블로, 우연인지 모르겠지만 1~3번함의 함명은 구 영국해군의 항모 함명을 따왔네요. 4번함의 함명은 RSS 이니미터블입니다.

TKMS: Two Invincible-class submarines hit the water
December 14, 2022, by Fatima Bahtić
Two Type 218SG submarines for the Republic of Singapore were launched in a ceremony held at the thyssenkrupp Marine Systems shipyard (TKMS) in Kiel on 13 December.

The submarines are the second and third boats in a series of four Type 218SG submarines for the Republic of Singapore Navy.
They are among the most modern diesel-electric submarines and feature numerous customized solutions and new technologies.
According to TKMS, the vessels are designed with a low acoustic signature. The external air-independent propulsion system allows the boats to remain underwater for a longer duration.
With a length of approximately 70 meters and a displacement of around 2,000 tons, they are currently the largest submarines ever built at Marine Systems.
Once further intensive trials have been conducted, Impeccable and Illustrious will be handed over from 2023 onwards.
Following the double naming ceremony, thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and Singapore-based ST Engineering signed a teaming agreement. It formalized and strengthendd the long-term cooperation between the two companies.
The agreement covers both warranty services as well as in-service support for the four Invincible-class submarines, ensuring that they are well maintained in Singapore during their operational lifetimes.

첫댓글 이름은 싱가포르가 더 잘 짓는 것 같습니다.
일반명사 함명도 참 멋진 함명이 많습니다. 굳이 고유명사로 지을 이유가 없을 것 같긴 해요.
