How strong do you think the Singaporean Navy is? Let us know down below!
Singapore Navy*
Serve for 6 years in RSN, I would say Singapore Navy grow very fast and high tech. Go Singapore! #teamnavy
I visited Singapore some years ago, its a beautiful place with beautiful people. Keep growing guys.
Hahaha, beautiful people? The majority have ugly heart and vile attitude
While the Singapore navy is untested in active combat (less piracy operations) it has proven its logistical prowess alongside the air force especially during times of humanitarian efforts. For these I am proud that they are part of HADR efforts worldwide
As a singaporean myself ,from what I see the navy is there to help protect and defend Singapore’s sea lanes and Channels of communication in the open waters,as long as the navy does it’s job,our trade routes and maritime shipping and security will be guaranteed. With the Technology and Boosting in capabilities on our side.
(FYI the RSN is not there to showcase Military aggression ,that’s not part of the job of the navy at all)
The current Landing ship plaforms are slated to be replaced by Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) ships with a running flight deck for 4 helicopters landing pad, meant to support Chinook lifting operations & possibly replanishment of the Apache attack copters. It has longer well dock for ambihvious landing crafts. A jet blast resistant flight deck to support F-35B replanishment is still a far fetched idea for this new class of ships.
how many personnel? can they man all the ships they have?
In my fictional world, Singapore has one of the strongest navy in the world
I live in singepore and you tell me this this is mine blowing!!!!
As a Singaporean, thank you for letting others see our true powers and strength!
Thanks
Thank you for the support!
Singapore, The Inspiring Country ❤

😂😂😂😂
That's an interesting share of GDP committed.
Comparing equipments yes spore is on top, but in war is another thing, enemies use wolf tactic to wear down a stronger opponent
Agreed, at least we’re prepared. Good luck to you & me if you’re going to be tested 🫡
2004 is recent?
If somebody here read about the famous Alexander Nostradamus (French Astrologer & Physician, born in 1503), many of his big prophecies came true about Napolean, world war 1, world war 2, John F kennedy, Ayatollah khomeini, Haley's comet, etc. He even mentioned the name Hitler as Hister, which is very close. His prophecy about world war 3 is very similar to Prophet Muhammad prophecy in Islamic hadith. Nostradamus was born after Prophet Muhammad. Nostradamus said that united Muslim countries will conquer Europe with help of eastern countries. The best part is Muslim armies will conquer Rome without bloodshed and the Pope at that time is the last Pope
We don’t want to fight, we want peace!

Good job , need your help in defending ASEAN territory, fr; Philippines
"It's not crazy, it's the navy" has been a recruitment catchphrase for quite awhile now
The navy has spammed me with alot of physical and digital mails to join them but I have fear of the ocean and confined spaces😅
What is the "combat experience " or coflicts of Singapore in any war. Nada.
What's the combat experience of Ukraine?
Which country has the most extensive combat experience? And that mightiest military in the world lost to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and is in the process of losing in Ukraine.
In my fictional world, Malaysia surpasses Singapore in every area because they have Boboiboy and Ejen Ali
If it would help them get over their inferiority complex, I'd almost welcome it. No one likes a wet blanket and insecure belittling Malaysians get pretty annoying after a while.
We work with our neighbours for collective security.
This right here
Good but need to test
Fun Fact: Some said, the Singaporean navy and airforce were, rumored, trained and guided single-handedly by the Taiwanese military in the 1970s (despite that there was a US military consultant group being sent at that time)!?
rumor is not a fact
@@ahmedaraf8188 But, the Singaporean army was trained by the Isrealis in the early days is a fact though!?
It’s not fun fact but it’s fact .
@@tenglim4406the Israelis trained the armored , the infantry troops, importantly our special forces & structured the entire SAF units to battalions, brigades and how to combine all units as a single fighting force. The Israelis are trained by the Americans so does the Taiwanese army , so from the late 70s onwards we only use the Taiwan terrain and facilities to trained our soldiers however the naval training are still heavily influenced by the navy of Taiwan and today you could see not so much of difference between 2 nations navy. As at today our elite forces still trained with the Israelis rumors said .
The Singaporeian Air force is trained by the US Air Force...they have training units based over at Phoenix Arizona, Luke AFB...I should know, I was superintendent of the US based training units there...
I think your appraisal of Singapores navy is several years out of date and has been overtaken by events. For a start, Singapore has amphibious assault ships which could be used as small aircraft carriers and meanwhile is looking for a small. affordable, purpose built aircraft carrier. I suspect it will soon find one.
In my fictional world, Malaysia spend more in navy than real world
Of course Singapore has a strong navy....they have four German submarines....❤❤...God bless you my friends❤❤
The 4 older ex Swedish submarines are still in active service as of now.
We are just a poison prawn.
Go SG!!!
The singapore warships is only accesories .
🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🤝🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
With 60% foreigners In my country, there is no longer a Singapore.
Singapore is top 30 strongest military in the world. Singapore is top 5 strongest military in South east Asia. Top 5 being: 1. Indonesia 2. Vietnam 3. Thailand 4. Singapore and 5. Philippines. Singapore is a maritime South east Asian country so the Navy will be the strongest. So Singapore is top 2 strongest Navy because of the Submarines Singapore has in my opinion. GO SINGAPORE 🇸🇬!!!
Glory to Singapore and to all those who shed blood, sweat and tears to bring our country onto the world stage, especially Lee Kuan Yew!!!!
*Almost 2 years ago, I saw a Singapore Formidable stealth battleship picture taken by Malaysian submarine from a close range at classified location. Malaysian submarine was undetected by Singapore Formidable battleship. Singapore has sophisticated weapon but their armed forces have no experience in war and not proven anywhere*
.
*US is #1 rating in military but they lost to Taliban. US top military General has admitted the defeat. Also, in 2006 Lebanon war, better equipped Israel lost to Hezbollah and Hezbollah didn't have any battleship or fighter jet. Israel could not even advance 1km. Netanyahu has admitted the humiliating defeat in CNN Prime News*
*Facts - The United States has not won a war "single-handedly" since the War of Independence*
.
so, top 4?
🤔 as strong as there’s enough manpower to man it!
singapore navy is just a greenwater navy. Furthermore the talents in the leadership and crew members needs diversification, you can hardly spot any malays in the singaporean navy. From what i was told no malays were allowed to join the singapore navy, can't verify if this is true or not.
It's fake. It was the Air Force in the 70s, they were afraid that someone would take a one man fighter and fly over to Malaysia. Ships are different, lots of people. Only on the LHD though, the smaller ships don't have space for a second halal kitchen.
Love it when people underestimate Singapore's capabilities. Please continue. ;)
Can't blame our govt. In my NS under Ammo depot at Rifle range. No malays. U hv chinese n Indian n Singh. Sensitive base . Now I don't know they hv or not as was almost 40yrs ago in 1984 to 1986
We are surrounded by Muslims countries
@@hengalvin8810And it's still part of MALAYSIA..state ...owned by JOHORE and Still Have a plot lands in This Tiny Island...no suprises
Singapore has this integrity to all our foreign investors to Singapore since 9th Aug 1965 to assure them safety and security of their investments in Singapore. Hence, we need to build a credible military to serve as a deterrence and most importantly to instil in our foreign investors a good sense of security and confident with their investments in Singapore. Singapore values foreign investments in Singapore as we do not have any natural resources to rely on our own. Besides, as a sovereign country, we need to stand on our own feet to defend ourselves in time of war when our survivability is threatened as no one would do so for us. Besides, no one owes us a living and we should be grateful if any nation could help us in time of war. We have learnt so much from history to be wise like the British surrendering Singapore to the Japanese during WW2 and the former PM of Malaysia threatening to 'skin the cat' and 'to turn off the tap' if Singapore does not do its bidding. Another issue is the rise of muslim terrorists in the region and our SIA plane was once hijacked by terrorists in the early seventies if I am not wrong. Thankfully, our mighty Singapore Armed Forces commandoes managed to storm the plane, get rid of the terrorists and rescued the hostages within a short time with no one injured or killed. Singapore as a small nation has no intention to be a superpower nation but to merely build up a credible military as a form of deterrence ready to defend the nation and its people when our survivability is threatened and to safeguard our integrity to protect the investments of foreign investors in Singapore. Our capable ruling government has indeed done well to build a credible military to give us a peace of mind so that we can sleep well every night and to live peacefully in Singapore. May God bless Singapore and Singaporeans that we would not need to go to war as a neutral country.
Sir hindi me place
thats one big ass navy army for a small island😂
Not much choice, if you read the posts above from people like eddycannon, you'll see how much contempt the Malays hold Singapore in. If they did not have that amount of deterrence, Singapore would have been their slave race. They're very racist and arrogant.
The navy is still in her infant stages😅😅😅
Size & strength is not important. The Vietnamese soldiers with sandals beat off the world’s strongest army.
Actually they did not. The US won (Tet Offensive) but their media made their victory sound so bad that they pulled out, THEN the NVA took over. By the time North Vietnam invaded, the US were already gone. The US left in 1972 or was it '73? The Invasion of Vietnam was in 1975, so 2-3 years after the US left.
You are assuming Singaporeans are anywhere less intelligent than its adversaries.
I am from Singapore and this country is good because is the first safest country and is rich also the 30th powerful country and for who is a Singaporean. Be proud of your country ♥️🇸🇬
afghanistan is an asian superpower , having defeated tang dynasty china in the 9th century, defeated britain in the 19th century, defeated russia in 1989 after 10 years of fighting, defeated america in August 2021 after 20 years of fighting
Defeating 4 erstwhile enemies is a neat military record; afghans wears down their enemies by fighting interminably until final victory
Small countries can learn from afghans how to bully big countries 😂😅😂
Inside full of china people. PRC. How strong?
The strongest navy in the world.
Imao
SG battleships cannot be compared with China and US, those countries have the strongest navy
@@Tony.L9793 neither of them has battleships anymore. Battleships refer to large ships with gun batteries. But yes, SG warships are weaker
Lol. You must be kidding. Singapore navy don’t even have a destroyer.
Hmm ruang udara saja masih ijin ke indonesia
what Singapore doing for Philippines nothing
it maybe strong but no aircraft carriers
So you think Thailand is strong? lol. Go look it up, Thailand has an aircraft carrier yet it does nothing for their military power.
Singapore itself is the unsinkable aircraft carrier. We do not need one.
Not to mention aircraft carrier. It doesn’t even have a destroyer.
@@ayidisme8321 Yup but in reverse, name me one South East Asian country that has a destroyer? Frigates are the largest combat ship in that part of the planet, with the sole exception of Thailand's aircraft carrier. Go look up all the navies, frigate is the heaviest combatant in the region.
@@ayidisme8321 we don't need either.
And you should go check up what the Thai aircraft carrier is doing.
Singapore is the Israel of Asean
dammit.. rich neighbour with fancy equipment..
TBH it's not really fancy. Compare it to other countries in Europe, like Turkey and France and you'll find the equipment quite average. It's just Asian militaries being new and underfunded relative to the centuries old militaries in the West. Given enough time, the other countries in the region would develop something similar. Just need to give the region time to catch up.
2:56 Sea Robber? What rubbish is this? Did you forget the word Pirates?
Took $? Blowing balloon.... ?
Yeah Singapore may have a navy, one thing they don't have is manners. Constantly belittling their neighbor, hum if it were africa they gonna say they poor and have no water.and military.
Veterinarian animal doctor shot general in your country. Dokter hewan menembak jendral di negaramu.
Singapore powerful Navy, operated by Malaysians, Indians, Taiwanese and Filipinos ..lol
😢😅
Palakko😅
😂 singapore just afraid his neighbour.idk bc their worry malaysia in 2040 have 7 frigate and 5 of them stealth.
Two stealth. They ordered 6 but due to mismanagement, most of the money got wasted, so the project got cut from 6 ships to 2 now. Malaysia has an inferiority complex that makes them screw up a lot.
For example, Singapore's Formidable class, the first one was built in France where the people were sent there to learn the assembly process from how the French do it. Malaysia, for some strange reason, demanded that they build EVERTHING in Malaysia, so no demonstration "how to do it" from the French, every single ship was to be built by Boustead without learning how to do it from the ship's original designers.
As of this point in time, only 2 ships are confirmed while one is confirmed cancelled and the other 3 are still in discussion. The irony is that even in trouble, one of the options was to get the original ship designers to finish the job but the Malaysian government still voted against it, still insisting on "100% local" to try and muddle through the assembly without any prior training. Too much pride.
Don't believe me? Go look up where the first Formidable was really built. Malaysia wanted to build the frigates without even looking at the instructions first.
@@danielc2701 only 1 cancel
not doing anything for Philippines
no matter how strong we get, i still believe we'd get destroyed if any of our neighbours ever decide to have all out war on us for wtv reason. thats cos our size is small and our population is ageing. we wont last any longer than a week on our own.
No no no, please don't boast Singapore Navy till this level. We are not that powerful in comparison with our neighbour come on cut it out.
We are though wtf you talking about
Our navy is advanced and strong lol
Are you even sure about that? Our navy are always called to the rescue whenever they need our help shows who is the one with the capabilities.
@@cocaineminor4420I wouldn't say strong overall... 6 stealth frigates and 4 subs are your main force. Now if you only consider the region including Vietnam, Philippines types, maybe. But not overall
Think the current strength is still below Vietnam and Indonesia fleet size.
@@mnd7381 Quality > Quantity.
China’s naval fleet is larger than the US Navy, but by tonnage, the US is heavier and are better equipped. Same with the Singaporean Navy compared to other navies in the region.
The philippines is a maritime country that depends on the sea for prosperity but it has the weakest navy in the world😅😅😅😅but the politicians are strong very strong in corruption.

First of all, how did you manage to "see" the incident when it is supposedly far out in the middle of the ocean? Also the main purpose of a submarine is to stay hidden underwater. Going "close range" and taking photos means that the sub must've been afloat above the water surface which defeats the purpose of the Submarine. Also, taking pictures of a ship is not a Submarine's job. Typical Malaysians making up fairytale stories because your military can't hold up on its own against Singapore. 😂😂
Almost 2 years ago, i read in newspaper that Malaysian submarine (if there is/are any???) can't dive due to missing parts!!!
Malaysian submarine??? What submarine?😂😂😂
Alibaba talking right here😂
@@David-dq4xn Yup. your head has missing part 😄🤣😂
