The Swedish Defense Ministry has announced the purchase of Stridsbåt 18HSM combat speedboats 90 from a local shipbuilding company Dockstavarvet. According to Navy Recognition, the boats will become the upgraded version used today on navy modifications of CB90.
New boats will get improved transmission, enhanced protection, eco-friendly engines, modern electronics and remote control for 12,7-mm machine gun. According to the calculations of the Swedish military, these vessels will last at least until the 2040 year, reports Fleetprom.
The order value is about 400 million Swedish crowns (47,5 million dollars). The first boat must be handed over to the military in the third quarter of 2018.
New boats reach a length of 15 meters, and in width - 3,8 meters. Crew - three people. On board can accommodate up to 19 man landing. Speed - up to 45 nodes.
Dockstavarvet is now completing a program to extend the life of 30 CB90-class boats, which the Swedish fleet has adopted in the 1990s. It is these that the Stridsbåt 90HSM boats should gradually replace.
