Sunset and evening star,...
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from
out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after the dark!
and may there be no sadness
of farewell,
When I embark.
For, though from out our bourne
of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face.
When I have crossed the bar.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
There are no flowers on a sailor’s grave
No lilies on an ocean wave
The only tribute is the seagulls sweep
And the tears upon a loved one’s cheek
Fear not for those who go down to the sea in ships
For as sunset draws near and dawn breaks afar
We remember those who have crossed the bar
And one clear call for me!

One of my ancestors was last heard of setting sail for England from his home port in Denmark, Nyborg, 20 October 1831 - "Formodes total forlist, da ingen Efterretninger siden 1831 haves om Skib og Mandskab efter Nyborg Toldkammers" - Presumed total loss, as nothing heard since 1831 of the ship & crew according to Nyborg customs house . . . .
Jacob Rasmussen, 23 May 1805 - after 20 October 1831. Ancestor of my grandmother Rasmussen.
His widow married his younger brother Anders, who despite also being a sailor lived to at least 72.

Apparently Austal will be building modules for both Virginia and Columbia subs. Could be an indication as to Australia’s SSN selection.

Xavier video on UAE Navdex 2023 in Abu Dhabi. This video more on UAE indigenous naval industry. Including UAE effort to build their own yard and seems already got export order from Angola on OPV/Corvette. This design based on UAE FAC.
While in this Video also in Navdex, Xavier interview Naval Group on their Gowind Large Corvete/Light Frigates design for UAE. After Gowind in Egypt, seems they will got another deal with UAE. This increase NG dominance on Middle East, as they already have good traction also with Saudi Arabia.
Interesting that Singapore decided to gift the two patrol vessels to Brunei, for EEZ patrols.
I've always wondered if Singapore would do so, especially with claimant countries like Brunei and the Philippines and the possibility that ex-Sing vessels ending up butting heads with the Chinese maritime militia.
There are still five more left. I suspect they will keep a few (3?) as reserves to support the Sentinel class until the MRCVs are operational.

Singapore decommissioned Gallant and Brave in December 2020 and August 2019, respectively. These vessels will be known as KDB As-Siddiq and KDB Al-Faruq , respectively, once commissioned by the RBN.
Uruguay has a program to acquire offshore patrol vessels since 2021. The tender was won by China's China Shipbuilding Trading Co., Ltd. (CSTC), against Damen and Kerships on both financial and technical merits.
Presumbly, there was pressure from the US not to go with China. Now, they are exploring the acquisition of used Norwegian Nordkapp OPVs which are being retired. This then creates another political issue since the opposition is questioning why buy used ships. The Nordkapps are pretty good options, IMO, since they have good endurance, was upgraded regularly.

NK has announced it has a nuclear suicide UUV. Certainly a concern for the SK navy if it has any kind of reasonable endurance and perhaps other navies in the region if NK has a means to deploy it from a sub.

France Joins AUKUS Submarine Program - Naval News
Under extended plans, France will join the AUKUS submarine program. This will see advanced nuclear-powered attack submarines built for Australia, United Kingdom and France.
www.navalnews.com
From AUKUS SSN program to FUKUS program. Seems this is part of deal to include Franchie after Australian cancelled SSK derive Barracuda. Why do in the end got a feeling this will generate Modifications on Barracuda SSN?
Perhaps Barracuda with UK reactors and US VLS?
Note:
This last paragraph on the article really makes me wonder, if Canada really insist on joining, it can still be call AUCKFUS.

NZ can't join either, won't fit into the Acronym, NZAUKUS, AUKNZUS, AUKUSNZ, just doesn't work. You could have Japan and Canada join and call it JACKUS.France Joins AUKUS Submarine Program - Naval News

If Canada going to join also, I don't suggest on using modification of AUKUS acronyms. Anti US can change it to F***USA, as it is still put Frenchie, UK, Canada, US and Australia. Better come out with something else.
However on design base, with some work already done before with Barracuda base SSK between Australia and NG, using Barracuda SSN as base platform could be more economics. Modified with UK reactors, plus putting one module of US VLS, I do think it is doable concept and more economical then using Virginia or Astute base.
Well perhaps that's more appropriate on RAN thread. Put it in this thread cause seems potential this design will be use also by Frenchie. Perhaps even UK.
Add:
Just come to my attention. This is 1st of April.. Is it April Fools..?? If that so, Naval news really get me

Saw that the other day, but didn't dig into it. Was wondering how the VTOL fit into recovery. And on seeing the video had that "Oh, that makes perfect sense" moment.
Seems like a great adaptation of a fielded mature system
