Indonesian FKO SIGMA-class Frigate testing at Bergen waters, Norway

KRI FRANS KAISIEPO in action at Bergen waters, Norway.

February 2009.

The basic design of the Sigma Patrol Series can vary as the hull segments are designed as components. Ships can vary in the number of hull segments and in the order in which they are placed. Sigma stands for Ship Integrated Geometrical Modularity Approach. The ship's main dimensions are named in the types itself, SIGMA 9113 stands for 91 meters long and 13 meters wide, same is with the SIGMA 10513, 105 meters in length and 13 meters wide.

The design was derived from the earlier High Speed Displacement hull form by MARIN Teknikk AS in the 1970s.

Indonesia is an archipelago country in the world, they absolutely need thousands of ship to protect their country. But I love this ship and the moving angle from this camera, good job!

@stalkingalizee it looks pretty mean though, "looks like a tiger, fights like a kitten" is what describes them... what will they be used for?

[cubosensaj]

@stalkingalizee i believe that is european political correctness, for it can be armed with missiles if needed judging by that mast on top of it

[stalkingalizee]

@cubosensaj Holland is an OPV, yet it is the size of a first rate frigate. No sense there...

[cubosensaj]

@stalkingalizee the dutch also make the horrible holland class

yet they think their ships are superior to the french ships

[stalkingalizee]

@cubosensaj Gowind is the only class of corvette France makes and it is more advanced product than SIGMA, also makes it more expensive. To save money these nations choose cheaper less stealthy hull from Dutch yard.

@stalkingalizee but why would they supply a shipyard that is not owned by french companies, if they don't the dutch yard will go bankrupt and they will be forced to order from france
