- Video tour aboard Al Zubarah-class corvette Damsah (F102) of the Qatari Emiri Navy. During DIMDEX 2024 in Doha, Qatar, Naval News got an exclusive access to tour the ship with the commanding officer.
=====================
The four Al Zubarah-class corvettes (also known as the Doha class) are multi-role corvettes (with a focus on air defense) operated by the Qatari Emiri Navy. They were built by Italian shipbuidler Fincantieri.
Corvette Damsah was launched on 13 February 2021 and commissioned with the Qatari Emiri Navy in 2022.

Beautiful ship, as soon as I saw her I immediately knew she was from Fincantieri, small but armed like a heavy frigate. Even Leonardo's brand new Kronos radar!
1:08 glad to see the MK1 Pine Wood still in use since the 1st Century 💪
Corvettes are going to be more popular in the near future. You get a well armed offshore patrol boat in times of peace that still brings valuable missiles and sensors in times of war.
Very curious to see more details on the European patrol corvette project as it develops.
Oh and beautiful warship with very well balanced capabilities. Well suited to the sea states of it's AOO.
Captain, I am overwhelmed by the enthusiasm your have for your new command.
LOL. to be fare, he was clearly focusing on his english and was trying very hard not to make a mistake or appear nervous. It felt like he was over compensating.
How ignorant of you. In Arab societies it is polite to be softly spoken.
@@liamhemmings9039 oh give it a rest, he was joking.
perfect ship
In the past 10 years or so, corvettes have been getting heavier, larger and outfitted with more weapons than ever.
It’s like a ‘Light Frigate’ with decent armament and comparable sensor to the Bergadini class frigate of the Italian Navy.
What a beauty good job italy & good luck Qatar 👏🏻
When a corvette is just as powerful as a royal navy frigate
Good job Qatar
3,300 tons, 76mm auto cannons and 30mm auto cannons surface to air and surface to surface missiles. All it needs are torpedoes and it is an official frigate
Needs ASW sensor. the Helicopter may have dipping sonar and it would be capable of dropping small torpedoes. Don't know of any corvette with towed sonar and hull mounted sonar. The extra sensor package would add weight and voila it would be a frigate

But the real question: Who is crewing that ship?
😂😂😂😂 I swear
Probably Pakistanis
@@ilhanolcay3836
What do you mean “probably Pakistanis”. Did you not hear that it’s a Qatari Navy ship. It’s definitely going to be crewed by Qataris
اكيد قطري
@@ayomidebusari5881not really Arab forces r consists of people from Pakistan nd other Muslim countries....
Better armed than RN destroyers
If you ignore the lack of a long range radar, the fewer SAM cells, 3” gun instead of a 4.5” etc, etc.
@SteveJones-om6ks It has the brand new 400-500 kilometre Kronos, and it's a Corvette, not a Destroyer, and the 76 is very good. The Duilio in the Red Sea shoots down drones with this gun.
@@AlFreeman-xy4jy Thats the point its a corvette not a destroyer. The LRR is important as it offloads the MFR to concentrate on fire control etc. The later 76mm is a good gun apparently...the earlier Compattos had a few issues. No 3" is doing fire support as well as a 4.5" though and we've used the Mk8 that way a few times over the years. The contention was that the corvette is better armed than an RN destroyer. The point being made was that it isnt.
Yes if you count hands but not the arms
