FH-88, 81m stealth corvettes are gone. Does this
means ST do not produce equipment of older design. For example,
FH2000 is more advance that the FH88, thus they stop producing the
FH88? Recently, at the aerospace show, they seems to have introduce
2 new types of corvettes namely a 85m and a 57m one, which seems to
me to have stealth features influenced by the visby of Sweden ,
does this means ST have chosen smaller vessels to follow the Visby
type of design rather than the La fayettes?
I supposed you meant the 81m stealth PV? because i also go to
the website often and i did not see any 81m stealth corvette
before.

If by LWSPH you mean the Pegasus, that's really
new so its "disappearance" from the site is definetely not due to
it being old.
Don't know about the rest though. But if the navy's gonna be
upgrading anything soon my bet will be the PVs. Our MCVs
are old but I believe the PVs are even older
The LWSPH is not the Pegasus but another product with the same
concepts as the Pegasus and it is an earlier product compared to
Pegasus. It is more bulky than the Pegasus if i am not wrong.
The MCVs are definitely older than the PVs. The 1st Fearless class
PV is commissioned in 1996. The 1st Victory class MCV is
commissioned in 1990.
