About: Bay-class minehunter

An Entity of Type: Minehunter, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Bay-class Minehunter Inshores were a class of catamaran-hull mine warfare vessels operating with the Royal Australian Navy from 1986. Also referred to as the MHCAT (MineHunter CATamaran), the class was an attempt to produce a locally designed inshore mine warfare vessel. Two prototype ships were ordered in 1981, with the first ship, Rushcutter, commissioned in November 1986. The two ships experienced delays in construction, and the RAN resorted to acquiring six minesweeper auxiliaries (MSA) under the Craft of Opportunity Program to provide an interim mine-warfare capability, while also keeping Ton-class minesweeper HMAS Curlew in service until 1990, well beyond her intended decommissioning date. The ships did not enter service until 1993, due to problems with the sonar.

  • La classe Bay è una classe di cacciamine della Royal Australian Navy, entrata in servizio a partire dal 1986; unità dallo scafo tipo catamarano, sono per questo a volte definite con la sigla MHCAT (MineHunter CATamaran). Concepite per sostituire i vecchi dragamine della , il programma iniziale prevedeva la realizzazione di sei unità, ma solo due furono costruite a causa dei continui problemi e ritardi nella messa a punto; entrate in servizio effettivo a partire dal 1993, dimostrarono scarse doti nautiche al di fuori delle acque costiere a causa delle ridotte dimensioni dello scafo, e la marina australiana finì per abbandonare il progetto a favore dei più grandi cacciamine della . Entrambe le unità furono ritirate dal servizio nell'agosto del 2001 e messe a disposizione per la vendita a paesi esteri. (it)
