Thanks Holgar for clarification,the ref. material I was checking on was obviously incorrect,which seems to be on the increase these days.

Hello to all!

Weyers "Warships of the world" from 2002/2004 shows this vessel as ISTIQLAL built 1982 by Lürssenwerft in Bremen. That's a bit curious when Casper reports that this vessel was sunk in 1991. Why should Weyer show a vessel which was sunk?

Regards,
Holger

This unit is a variant of the TNC 45 class,but if the shot was taken in 2005,I don`t think it is ISTIQLAL,was sunk in 1991.
I cannot identify this ship or navy,Pennant No. does not match any records,can anyone positively identify this ship and country?
BTW, nice shot. Casper.

I think she is the Kuwait navy P5702 Istiqlal.

Great shot Willi, keep sending these interesting ships.
