| Source measurement | — | As training ships, the aluminium hulls of the Altair -class vessels are relatively small compared to those of regular warships , measuring 25.9 metres (85 ft 0 in) in length with a beam of 6.0 metres (19 ft 8 in), and displacing a maximum of 85.0 tonnes (13,390 st) of water, resulting in a draught of approximately 1.4 metres (4 ft 7 in). All in all, the expected service life of these vessels is approximately 25 years.[source]Altair-class training ship · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage For propulsion, the vessels are fitted with two 930 kilowatts (1,250 hp) MTU diesel engines, providing a combined output of 1,860 kilowatts (2,490 hp) and enabling a maximum speed of approximately 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph).[source]Altair-class training ship · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Complementing the ships, the design allows for 10 personnel to work on each vessel simultaneously, with six students in training and four officers and enlisted crew members on board.[source]Altair-class training ship · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
