LCF 프리깃 4척과 발루스급 잠수함 4척 중 2척에 탑재할 토마호크를 구매하려 한다고 네덜란드 국방장관이 하원에 서한을 보냈다고 합니다.
LCF 프리깃이 VLS 40발, 잠수함 2척은 어뢰 20발 + 하푼 4발이 탑재량인데 저 탑재량을 죄다 토마호크로 채워도 200발이네요. 절발을 채운다 치면 100발.. 개전 초에 실제적인 의미를 갖지는 못할 수량인 듯 합니다. 예전에 주인장님께서 말씀하셨던 중소국가의 참여를 통한 영향력 확보 방안의 의미 정도겠네요.
Netherlands set to buy Tomahawk cruise missile for maritime strike

The Netherlands has revealed plans to procure the Tomahawk land attack cruise missile from the US government, with deployment planned from both frigates and submarines.
Forming part of a broader investment in air and maritime strike capabilities, the planned procurement will make the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) only the second naval service in Europe to introduce the Tomahawk into service. A proof of concept firing from a De Zeven Provinciën-class air-defence and command frigate (LCF) could occur as early as next year.
State Secretary for Defence Christophe van der Maat detailed plans to acquire a maritime strike capability in a 3 April letter to the Dutch House of Representatives. In this so-called ‘A' letter – a document which outlines the analysis of requirements – he said that the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (MoD) had determined that a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement with the US government represented the only viable option to deliver the capability required.
According to van der Maat, the Maritime Strike Acquisition programme will see the Tomahawk initially acquired to equip the RNLN's four LCF frigates, and two of the service's four Walrus-class submarines. “In the course of the [2030s], the four replacement frigates and four replacement submarines [will also receive] Tomahawk,” he added.
Manufactured by Raytheon, the Tomahawk missile has a range of over 1,000 km and can be re-targeted in flight, should the mission priority change. Current RGM-109E/UGM-109E Tomahawk Block IV rounds are being progressively recertified and upgraded to Block V standard for the US Navy (USN) and the UK Royal Navy (RN); Raytheon is also manufacturing newbuild Block V missiles.
첫댓글 2002년에는 해군총장이 토마호크 쏘는 OPV를 만들고 싶다고 한 바 있습니다.

"... up to four dual-purpose naval ships: relatively big helicopter-carrying hulls but fitted with relatively simple combat systems. In my vision, we could employ these for constabulary-style counter-drugs operations in the Caribbean (first role) and, when integrated within a task group, we could use them as launch platforms for a land-attack capability (second role).
I believe combining constabulary missions with a land-attack capability in one hull could be very good in terms of cost-effectiveness."
홀란드급 OPV는 결국 VLS 빼고 건조돼 LCF에 넣을 수밖에 없게 됐네요.
@위종민 OPV에 토마호크는 위협이 없는 환경에서 만만한 나라들 살짝 때리는 임무에는 돈 들지 않고 딱 맞겠지만 세계대전급의 전쟁에서는 조금 위험할 것 같습니다. 토마호크의 최대 사거리를 다 쓰기 위해 멀리 떨어져서 쏘는데도 공격을 받는 가능성은 물론 작겠지만 그래도 방어 능력이 거의 없어서요.
2차대전 때 네덜란드해군의 6인치 포함 Flores는 1943년 9월 살레르노 상륙작전에 참가해 함포사격을 하다가 공습을 받고 손상되기도 했죠.

사실상 미군2중대 노릇용 아닐지
인구가 많지 않으니 함정 1척을 파견하는 정도가 한계일 듯 합니다.

The successive Dutch ships were allocated a wide range of tasks. On average, each Dutch ship carried out 10 patrols, mainly along the west coast of Korea. The ships were also given the task of escorting a US or British aircraft carrier on a regular basis. The Dutch ships were also given the task of protecting the lines of communication and bombarding enemy troop concentrations, reinforcements and infrastructure.
