SINGAPORE - The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) launched Dauntless, its seventh littoral mission vessel (LMV), on Saturday (Aug 18).
Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat officiated the launching ceremony, while his wife, Mrs Heng Hwee Nee, launched the vessel.
The event took place at ST Engineering Marine's Benoi Shipyard.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Heng said: "Naming this LMV Dauntless aptly reflects the RSN's determined spirit to overcome all adversity without fear, capturing also the attributes of our founding generation.
"The Dauntless spirit will continue to guide the RSN in innovating and constantly improving itself, to safeguard Singapore."
Mr Heng added that a strong and capable navy was crucial to the country's survival.
He said the navy's ability to secure and keep key sea lines of communication open, and its role in preserving Singapore's right to move freely in waters worldwide is "critical" to the Republic's prosperity and security.
Dauntless is the seventh LMV to be launched by the navy.
The first LMV, RSS Independence, was commissioned during the RSN's Golden Jubilee on May 5 last year by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Two other vessels, RSS Sovereignty and RSS Unity, were also commissioned last year.
Two previously launched LMVs - Justice and Indomitable, will be commissioned later this year.
The sixth LMV, Fortitude, which was launched in March, is currently undergoing sea trials.
LMVs can be quickly configured with mission modules to take on a wide spectrum of operations, allowing the crew to deliver calibrated responses using lethal and non-lethal options to deal with a range of maritime threats.

BalasHapusLawan real Indonesia ya ini dan Aussie! Harus dikejar itu kuantitas dan kwalitas alutsista setara mereka! Bukan modal jumlah tentara! Dan omong mau perang sama siapa!!! Preettt
BalasHapusKapal kapal lama singapura yang dah bersara mungkin boleh di dermakan ke malaysia ..kasihan militer malaysia tak bisa cakap lagi kat serantau ni
BalasHapusBetol
HapusThat will never happen. Singapore does not do dontaions when it comes to military equipment. Not once has anyone heard of such transfers. One well known case is giving the Thai's older F16a/b models in exchange for training in their country. Nothing is free in this world. That's the saying. Even if we wanted to donate, it still won't happen. It's more on Malaysia's side Hint:government
HapusThey wouldn't want it. For sure.
Besides, the RMN is fine. 15 to 5 is going as normal. It is the airforce that has problems. Airforce needs support.
HapusHahaha, obviously you are right, @Ben :)
HapusIt's all normal for our neighborhood.
Sometimes, to keep neighborhood peaceful we have to compromise, a lot!
I can't imagine who would take advantage of that lacking of airpower situation, if we lived in Middle East, Eastern Europe, East Asia or Latin neighborhood.
We should be grateful, for God's sake. This region has very rare "luxury" to maintain neutral position without concerning of any possible war.
Mana tau mahu bagi
HapusEx-RSN should be handed over to baboon state as a free gift. Malaysia is good enough with 15 to 5 plan. Not that we can't afford all those military toys but the need for important for having other stuffs like infrastuctures,social well being and give better living to the people. Not like some countries whom rather having roads like "longkang", infras of 3rd world nation and their own people are begging in other countries. Kikiki.. indon mudah digondolin.
HapusKingkong@ 15 to 5 liar wkwkwk...nak wang dari mana lon wkwkwk

BalasHapusKonon lantaran tukang catnya salah nulis nama kapal yg seharusnya "Maharajalela"....keliru jadi "Merajalela"😥
HapusPoor malondog,KD Merajalelapun mula dilancarkan ompong tiada canon,missile dan sensor wkwkwk
HapusBaboon nulis tentang kapal tenggelam sendiri akibat sisa rudal? Apa itu namanya kapal stealth? Kikiki..indon mudah digondolin.
HapusKingkong@ kapal malon banyak ompong tiada missile wkwkwk
HapusKekuatan udara 40 F15 SG... 60 F16 block 52....5 AWACS , 5 MRTT, hawk dan F5 belum lagi F15 SE 24 unit di luar pangkalan RSAF... Kapal frigate murni.... TNI tertinggal jauh...
BalasHapus7 kapal LMV spore cukup utk menyekat semua kapal buruk malon.
BalasHapusSpore menyiapkan strategi jitu utk mengambil johor. Batu puteh sudah. ^^
Kita ngambil sabah dan serawak. Sisakan sipadan dan ligitan buat malaysia...hehehe
HapusPrepare nak ambik johor dari malon wkwkwk
HapusI know u guys r joking.
HapusItu isu terkini katanya negara bagian kelantan mau keluar dari federasi malaysia. Kabarnya kebijakan rezim sekarang udah nggk pro ke sistem "feodal".
HapusSabah sarawak pun sebenarnya kapanpun bisa aja keluar dari malaysia. Krn dari awal bergabung mereka bukan bagian resmi dari persekutuan malaysia semenanjung. Liat aja orang malaysia semenanjung klo ke sabah/sarawak mesti pakai pasport, aneh banget kan.
Tapi org semenanjung selalu menakut2i sabah/sarawak, seandainya mereka keluar maka akan dicaplok oleh philipin/indonesia.
Macam aceh ngan timur leste ke bayu
HapusKatanya di malas-ia para negara bagian kerajaan pingin mengamankan kerajaan masing masing...apakah artinya pingin negara kerajaan sendiri lepas dr malas-ia
HapusMalaysia itu pondasi persatuannya lemah. Hanya dgn titah masing2 sultan di negara bagian..klo ingin keluar y tinggal keluar..federasi nggk bisa ngapa2in.
HapusPembentukan malaysia itu sendiri hasil mufakat masing2 sultan dgn izin inggris.
indon hanya mampu jerit ganyang, ganyang. Ganyang telo baboon bisa itu indon. Poodahhh.. Dari dulu sehingga kiamat tau jerit2 kalo kalah baling kerusi,botol,taik dll. Kikiki.. indon senang digondolin.

HapusHawk and F5s are no more.
BalasHapusNo such thing as F15 SE(Silent Eagle). If that is what u mean.
Pure frigate ships?
A frigate is a frigate. I know what you mean. Unerequipped frigates. Some would refer underequipped frigates as "light" frigates. Some would call it a frigate with the capability of a corvette. The frigates build by HHI for the Phillippine Navy is an example. Hopefully they choose not to pursue additional frigates from HHI and stick to the acquisition of second hand corvettes from Korea which some joked on their defense blogs as being more capable than their soon to be frigates. Then again, they need funds for the submarines. Money needs to come from somewhere. Some fear that may result in the cancelation of the second hand corvettes. Thag is yet to be seen. For now everything else seems fine other than postings of
(ahem)
defense-politics issue lately. Where things are not looking good in the politics side of things.
Apparently, more are getting fed up with the ....
Hopefully things can settle down.
Singapore still one of the best upon war gear inventories in ASEAN so far.
BalasHapusThey collects almost all of the latest defense tech, Apache Leopard F15 etc, just wait till F35 contract signed, dat would be the most sophisticated jet fighter among ASEAN members.
