Myanmar Shipbuilding Industry

As Myanmar is located at the strategic area of South East Asia, the port and the related industry of ship building are inevitably and strategicly important ones for Myanmar. But in contrast to some other regional neightbors, Myanmar's shipbulding industry is generally underdeveloped. Myanmar has made certain progress in ship building in the past decade with the encouragement of the government. Since 1995, the Myanma shipyard has successfully built and delivered six vessels to marine companies of Indonesia and Singapore. Official statistics show that since 1988, Myanmar has built over 30 vessels for cargo and passenger services and imported over 100 passenger and cargo vessels to improve its inland water transport.

Until recently Myanmar's domestic shipbuilding industry had provided the Navy with little more than speedboats and light ampibious craft. The Naval Dockyard in Yangon as well as other local shipbuilding companies had by 2013 produced two Aung Zeya class frigates (here), two Anawratha class corvette, the Five series class FAC, the 412 class coastal patrol craft, Yan Naing and PCE class river patrol craft, LCU, LCM as well as coastal craft.

Myanmar Naval Dockyard / Sinmalaik

Burma’s leaders were faced with continuing arms embargoes by their traditional suppliers, and the perceived need to acquire even more weapons for the armed forces, developed a local shipbuilding capability with the aid of China. Near the end of the 1990s, the Sinmalaik Shipyard located in Rangoon, purchased three Chinese hulls, and fittedthem out as corvettes in Yangon's Sinmalaik shipyard. These 77m-long and 1105-ton displacement corvette gave the Myanmar Navy for the first time a helicopter deck-equipped vessel and an overall ship design that was poised to take the fleet beyond the territorial waters into the country’s EEZ. Three of thee corvettes were built at Rangoon’s Sinmalaik shipyard. Israel's main role in fitting out the three corvettes was apparently to provide their electronics suites. Myanmar also managed to build its own frigates, known as Aung Zeya class frigate, built by Myanmar Naval Dockyard starting in 2008.

Interesting work Superboy.
That quad 14.5mm HMG mount might be a standard type from Soviet/ Chinese sources?

5-Series class : Fast attack craft

Myanmar Navy launched a new gunboat in 1996. 5-Series class length 45 meters and displacement 220-260 tons, Install 2xfuruno navigation radar, 1x2M-3 25mm twin gun ,2xZPU-1 14.5 mm guns, and 2xCRN 91 30mm single guns (or Medak gun) from india. 7 boats in service between 1996-2008 (UMS-551 to UMS-555 ,and UMS-559 t0 UMS-560 after 2004). as many as 25 Burmese naval ships may have been sunk in the storm caused by Cyclone Nargis in May 2008, maybe included some 5-Series class.






In 2004 The first missile boat was in service. she install 1xMR-331 Square Tie Radar, 1xType 347G Fire control radar, 1xFuruno navigation radar, 1xType 362 surveillance radar ,2xKolonka optronic director ,2xAK 230 30 mm CIWS Gun ,2x14.5 mm quad machine guns unknown type, and 4xC-802 Surface-to-Surface Missiles. have 3 boats in this subclass UMS-556 to UMS-558.





The last 2 missile boats launched after 2008(UMS-561 and UMS-562), little modify the hull and superstructure, install 1xMR-104 Rys (Drum Tilt) radar ,1xUnknown sensor ,4xDecoy Launcher unknown type (chaff and flare) ,2x14.5 mm quad machine guns unknown type ,and 1xGibka Launcher for 4 SA-N-5 igla SAM (have ESM atop the foremast)









In 2013 Myanmar Navy built many gunboats again. install 1xType 362 surveillance radar ,1xFuruno navigation radar ,2xZPU-1 14.5 mm guns ,and 2x30-40mm single guns unknown type.

I think Myanmar Navy have 5 missile boats and 12-15 gunboats of 5-Series class (found a picture of UMS-569)

this is the CRN 91 Naval Gun, based on the Russian Shipunov 2A42 30 mm automatic cannon.

This AU just gets better and better.
