Israel navy MEKO CSL

The Meko CSL is 108 meters (354 ft.) long, with a beam of 21 meters and full-load displacement of 2,750 metric tons. Propulsion is by a combined diesel-and-gas/water-jet system that reaches 40 kt. Cruising range at 15 kt. is 3,500 nm., and endurance is 21 days. The vessel can put to sea with a crew of 75.

Armed with the Barak 8 extended-range air-defense system from Israel Aerospace Industries, the two CSLs are expected to become the world’s first air-defense corvettes. This will give the Israeli surface fleet independent air cover for the first time, enabling ships to deploy farther from home. With a large deck surface and conformal mast, the new vessel can be equipped with more missiles than the current Saar 5 and, importantly, its superstructure can mount Elta’s MF-Star radar. This 360-deg. phased-array radar supports simultaneous surface search operations and multiple antiaircraft, antimissile and surface-attack weapons. The vessel will also carry antisubmarine weapons and a helicopter. As with all Israeli purchases, an important issue is the integration of locally designed and produced electronic systems. The navy uses the Elbit/Elisra Aqua Marine integrated electronic support measures/electronic countermeasures warfare suite on its Saar 5 corvettes. It is expected that the Meko will include the latest advanced electronic warfare systems.

Another advantage of the vessel would be accommodating the navy’s robotic systems. The ship could become a support platform for unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vessels and unmanned underwater vehicles, since it would have adequate deck space and launch and retrieval capabilities.

A major advantage of the Meko CSL design is stealth. By employing technologies developed for the latest German warships and Sweden’s Visby-class stealth corvettes, Meko designers reduced the ship’s infrared signature by 75% through elimination of the conventional uptakes. Exhaust gases are ducted through a horizontal system, cooled by sea water and expelled underwater. Smooth hull-plating and concealed deck equipment are other stealth enhancements from the Visby class. Other features include a water-jet propulsion system that reduces the wake, the use of composite (nonmagnetic) structures and advanced sensors. Research on the Visby-class vessels began in the 1990s by Swedish ship designer Kockums, now part of TKMS.

This is how The israeli MEKO CSL going to look:

barak 8

Germany also agree to sell to israel more one u-212 sub tow already boughat in 2006 deal and 3 in 1991.Israel will have 6 sub u-212.

The MEKO CSL going to be to be built in israel.

Germany also agree to sell to israel more one u-214 sub tow already boughat in 2006 deal and 3 in 1991.Israel will have 6 sub u-214.

Israel buying u-214 or dolphin class (Type 209)?

Israel buying u-214 or dolphin class (Type 209)?

The dolphin class is based on the u-212.It is calld dolphin because israel add more technology systems to the sub.
I made a mistake israel going to buy u-212+Israeli technology systems that will be added.

[adir]

This is how the israeli sub look like+israeli systems.

[Penguin]

The dolphin class is based on the u-212.It is calld dolphin because israel add more technology systems to the sub.
I made a mistake israel going to buy u-212+Israeli technology systems that will be added.

Dolphin preceeded u212A

What the **** is this? The U-212 can fire SRBMs but the more modern and advanced U-214 which Turkey is getting cant do that? What a rip off !

[Ottoman-Turk]

if israel doesnt go nuke their navy is tiny and weak

[Thomas]

if israel doesnt go nuke their navy is tiny and weak

If I wanted to compare the US and Turkish navies I could say the same thing. Israel has a navy that is mainly defensive and proportionate to it's population which is 1/10 that of Turkey.

Both Israel and Turkey have good navies

if israel doesnt go nuke their navy is tiny and weak

Little Israeli ships have same exactly harpoons as your big.

[Skorpian]

if israel doesnt go nuke their navy is tiny and weak

Israel already has nukes.

[BordoEnes]

Little Israeli ships have same exactly harpoons as your big.

Not in equal number that is

[Ottoman-Turk]

Thats true , but remember Isreal isnt 1/10th really they are more if you look at the isreaelis in US who have bonds with Isreal basically is a part of israel , also comparing their navy strength to their air force i said that

I thought the 214 is a derivative of the 212. Export version of the 212?

[BordoEnes]

I was actually talking about the U-214TN which is a turkish co-produced variant of the submarine. Even though it is said that the U-214 is a only-export derivative of the U-212, its basicly a new more modern submarine only without the 4 tubes which is capable of launching cruis missiles. But to be honest i have no idea if even the U-214 can launch Cruise missiles, Anyone with more knowledge on submarines?

214 is a derivative of the 209.
