Main engine is "MTU 20V1163 TB93 diesel engine. In that time, MSA was building Tsurugi class patrol vessel to oppose to them.
This incident that also known the Battle of Amami-Ōshima is a battle between patrol vessels of Maritime Safety Agency (*1) and North Korean spy ship. In JCG, it used for 30 mm Mk.44 Bushmaster II, 35 mm Oerikon KD and 40 mm Bofors L/70.
…
Bofors 40 mm gun of JCG controlled by "FCS" fire control system of JCG. We had sticks. Main gun is Bofors Mk.3 "Sea Trinity" 40 mm machine gun. Superstructure material is aluminum alloy as Aso class, but hull material is high-tensile strength steel (modern structure steel). Secondary gun is JM61-RFS. JM61-M was developed for destroy floating naval mines, but in JCG it used for warning shoot. Propeller is four pump-jet that with reverse thrust bracket and swivel mechanism. The Shikishima patrol vessel entered service with the JCG in 1992. Published by Gaijin Network Ltd. under the exclusive license. Snail Patrol =937=
Looking around Japanese gunboat in game, there machine gun armament seems inferior to other country tech tree. That vessel equip one JM61-RFS, and max speed is over 40 knots, but JM61-RFS did not have enough firing range so JCG start to build two types of "High-Speed High-Performance Large Patrol Vessel"(高速高機能大型巡視船), Aso class and Hida class.
In that time, MSA was building Tsurugi class patrol vessel to oppose to them. Boat 1 is due to be delivered to the Rock in late 2021 or early 2022 with boat 2 to follow in the Spring of 2023. Back in my day, we didn't have fancy tanks! No.1 class Missile Boat of JMSDF and Shikishima class Patrol Vessel equip early models with optical equipment on the turret, but other patrol vessels and crafts equip later model.
Future of design of superstructure is remove funnel and equip enclosed deck on both side of deck room.
They are law enforcement agency so to avoid injury criminal it did not using High Explosive shells. This is a remote control variant of JM61-M multi-barrels machine gun with "RFS" fire control system of JCG. The Shikishima Class PLH (Patrol vessel Large with Helicopter) of the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) are the 2nd largest patrol vessels in the world after China Coast Guard 3901 and 2901. Also, this class designed for commanding vessel so also equip Helicopter TV relay system and Vessel TV relay system.
Name means Remote Firing System, but it is a FCS that have ability to follow and correct firing specification.
Naval things overall, Japanese ground vehicles and Japanese translationNow listen up! Deffinately a lower rank vehicle though since the 20mm is the RFS version.
Later one equip RFS optics on the bridge.
TSURUGI ports of call are listed below as detected by our live AIS ship tracking system. Hida class have helicopter deck that able to operate Eurocopter AS332/EC 225 Super Pum, the largest helicopters of JCG). Find link is a tool written by Edward Betts.. searching for Tsurugi-class patrol vessel 0 found (2 total) Construction of the first vessel will begin this month, taking about 18 months to complete. 4 engines placed as shift, and exhaust induced to both side of hull. This design is to defend crews from hard waves, but also affected from design of Aegis-ship of JMSDF/USN. At first, JCG planning to organize 5 mobile vessel unit.
The ships have a long-range cruising capacity, making it a valuable asset for the Coast Guard.
Magazine "Ships of the World", October 2005, page 16 In conventionally Japanese did not think DPRK spy ship was heavy armed but by the this incident, MSA need to build more faster and heavy armed vessel that able to warning shooting in out-range.
The Shikishima patrol vessel entered service with the JCG in 1992. I was somewhat inspired by the Japanese Tsurugi class patrol vessel when I made up this boat. In the plan this unit consisted by one Hida class, two Aso class and 3 Tsurugi class but by the budget unit decreased to one Hida class, one Aso class and 2 Tsurugi class.
