On the occasion of the EURONAVAL 2016 naval technologies trade show, which is taking place 17- 21 October in France, CNIM Defense is presenting the new version of its L-CAT ship-to-shore fast landing catamaran, the L-CAT Shore-to-Shore version.I went to CNIM Defense website but couldn't find any information on the boats specs, how much its rated to carry, how fast it is or its range.
The ship-to-shore version was supplied to France (4) and to Egypt (2). All operates from BPC (Bâtiment de Projection et de Commandement ) amphibious assault ships supplied by DCNS and STX France to France and Egypt. The L-CAT boats were built by SOCARENAM, In French Navy service, the boat is designated as EDA-R (Engin de Débarquement Amphibie Rapide).
I consider the above IFV as being the best in Chinese service. They took the Russian design and tweaked it but the changes make sense. Oh and it also seems to have additional armor applied. |
The US military has carried out a series of “limited self-defence strikes” in Yemen, the Pentagon has announced. The attack, authorized by President Obama, was carried out in retaliation to recent attacks on the US naval destroyer, USS Mason.Rant.
According to the Pentagon’s initial assessments, three “radar sites” in the Houthi rebel-controlled area of Yemen were destroyed in the attack.
The attack on coastal targets was carried out by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the destroyer USS Nitze, NPR reported. According to US officials all targets were “in remote areas, where there was little risk of civilian casualties or collateral damage.”
“These limited self-defense strikes were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation in this important maritime passageway,” the statement reads.
