Sigma Naval Patrol Series
Based on available information Indonesia has an option on the 9113
version of this ship. In this folder it is clear Damen/Schelde has the
same impression (see flag H-deck, page 6). This is not a patrol ship as
the Dutch government repeatedly stated but an combat vessel, with ocean
capabilities. This was already clear from much other information, but
now also confirmed by the Wharf in Flushing.
See e.g. artist impression and
weapons systems expected.
Also the
Jakarta Post of January 7, 2004 reported the ships to be close to 91
metres. When only for patrol duties Indonesia can do with a much
smaller and cheaper ship.
