Joe Black SG Show me the money!!!! That's why! RSN is a forgotten branch until recently. After the Formidable purchase, it doesn't have much more money for capital spending... even getting the 2 second hand Vastergotland class is a hard ask!
gary1910 SG Dun worry abt that, I think RSN will plan ahead to ensure we have sufficient operational subs.
Delta 5 SG Actually I prefer the U214 which combines features of the proven U209 and new U212. 4 of these SSKs have been ordered by Greece and it is inexpensive compared to the Scorpene or Viking class. Would rather the RSN procure 4 or perhaps 5 of these new-built boats rather than buy more 2nd hand equipment.
