EUROPEAN UPDATE strike craft. The systems installed provide for one-person operation of main propulsion, electrical genera- tion and auxiliary systems from the bridge.

Vosper's design for Qatar has reportedly evolved from similarly- sized vessels supplied to Oman and Kenya, using the same basic hull form, but with a totally redesigned superstructure and internal arrangement.

During the past 30 years, Vosper has also constructed ships for eight

Middle East navies, and believes that its latest contract for Qatar strike crafts underlines its role as a leading exporter of naval vessels to the area.

The vessel builder also recently announced successful completion of sea trials for one of two first-of- class, 272.3-ft. (83-m) corvettes for the Royal Navy of Oman.

French Navy Equips Patrol

Boats With Deutz MWM

Engines

For the new Flament class patrol boats, the

French Navy will be given Deutz MWM main propulsion systems of series 620 (pictured).

In the next year, the French

Navy will receive three patrol boats of the Flament class. These 179.7 ft. (54.8 m) long boats have been designed by Leroux & Lotz

Naval. The first boat was already launched at CMN Constructions

Mechanique de Normandie in

Cherbourg in spring 1995. The second boat was launched at

Leroux & Lotz in summer 1995.

The main propulsion systems and the complete generating sets have been delivered by Deutz

MWM. The main propulsion unit consists of a CODAD plant with two 16-cylinder engines of series 620 (2,240 kW each) for cruising speed, and two, 12-cylinder engines of series 234 (720 kW each) to be switched on for high speed cruising. Three generating sets, each with six-cylinder engines of series 234 delivering some 95 kW each, will be chosen for the power and emergency power supply.

The 620 series engines were sub- jected for this application to a 500- hr. endurance test run at Deutz

MWM in Mannheim, in accordance with the requirements of the

French Navy. Specialists of

German and French authorities supervised this acceptance test run.
