| Source measurement | The Achimota class are a series of two fast attack craft in service in the Ghana Navy . They are based on the same Lürssen PB 57 design as the Turkish Yıldız class . The two ships of the class include Achimota (the flagship of the Ghana Navy) and Yogaga . The two vessels were acquired by Ghana in the late 1970s and commissioned in 1981. The Achimota class is equipped with an OTO Melara 76-millimetre (3 in) dual-purpose gun , and a 40 mm (1.6 in) anti-aircraft gun . They are primarily used for fishery protection duties.[source]Achimota-class fast attack craft · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Achimota -class fast attack craft (FAC) are based on the Lürssen PB 57 design and share a basic layout as the Turkish Yıldız class . The vessels displace 395 metric tons (389 long tons ) at full load, are 58.1 metres (190 ft 7 in) long with a beam of 7.6 m (24 ft 11 in) and a draught of 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in). The two ships are powered by three MTU 16V 538 TB91 diesel engines each turning one shaft rated at 8,500 kilowatts (11,400 bhp). This gives the FACs a maximum speed of 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph) and a range of 3,300 nautical miles (6,100 km; 3,800 mi) at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph).[source]Achimota-class fast attack craft · Design and description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The FACs mount one OTO Melara 76-millimetre (3 in) dual-purpose gun and one Breda 40 mm (1.6 in) anti-aircraft gun (AA) gun. The Achimota class are equipped with Thomsen-CSF Canopus A surface search and fire control radar a LIDD optronic director . The vessels have a complement of 55, including 5 officers.[source]Achimota-class fast attack craft · Design and description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
