The Badr class is a class of corvette built by the United States and operated by the Saudi Navy. The class has been relegated to a coastal defence role following the modernisation of the Saudi fleet. There are four vessels in service; Шаблон:Ship, Шаблон:Ship, Шаблон:Ship and Шаблон:Ship.

Design

In January 1972, Saudi Arabia signed an agreement with the United States to set up a 10-year programme to greatly enlarge the Saudi Navy, previously a small coastal patrol force. The programme envisaged the construction in the United States of a series of corvettes as well as other warships such as minesweepers and amphibious warfare ships.[1][2] As part of this programme, on 30 August 1977, an order was placed with the Tacoma Boatbuilding Company of Tacoma, Washington for 4 missile-armed corvettes, with delivery expected between 1980 and 1981.[2][3]

The four ships, at first known by the US-Navy style designation of "PCG", and later as the Badr-class, are Шаблон:Convert long overall, with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draught of Шаблон:Convert.[4] Displacement was intended as Шаблон:Convert,[2] but the ships were completed significantly overweight, and were recorded as displacing Шаблон:Convert standard and Шаблон:Convert full load in 1995.[3] They are powered by one General Electric LM2500 gas turbine rated at Шаблон:Convert and two MTU 12V625 TB91 diesel engines (rated at a total of Шаблон:Convert) in a Combined Diesel and Gas (CODAG) arrangement, driving two controllable pitch propellers. This gives a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert when using the gas turbine and Шаблон:Convert on diesel. The ships have a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert.[4]

Principal anti-ship armament consists of eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles, with a gun armament of a single OTO Melara 76 mm gun forward, one Vulcan Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS) aft, two Oerlikon 20 mm cannon, an 81 mm mortar, and two 40 mm Mk 19 grenade launchers. Anti-submarine armament consisted of two triple Mark 32 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tubes for Mark 46 torpedoes. SPS-40B air search radar and SPS-55 navigation/surface search radars are carried, while a Mark 92 fire control radar is fitted above the ship's bridges. SQS-56 hull-mounted sonar is carried to direct the ships' torpedo tubes.[4]
