Hyundai HHI Shipyard got Polish Shipyard as partner to engage domestication for Orka Submarine program. HHI provide their own design to engage with the bid. If they got the deal, HHI will have their first export and become 2nd ROK Shipyard that manage export Submarine after DSME/Hanwha Ocean.

Note:
This HDS-2300 design they are pitching in my opinion externally share similarities with DSME 2000 that their rival try to export to Southeast Asian Market. Wondering if they are sharing some IP with DSME/Hanwha Ocean.

An unknown patrolboat of the Damen Fast Crew Supplier 4008 design was recently spotted in the Netherlands sailing from the Headquarters of Damen in Gorkum to the sea, very likely for sea trials. "RSS Barracuda P501" was painted on the vessel, but it is actually sure this vessel is not for the Royal Singapore Navy, the Royal Syrian Navy or the Armada española but for het Surinaams Nationaal Leger.

The Surinaamse government has signed a contract for the six years lease of a sea-going patrolboat.

A FCS 4008 boat has a lengte van 41,2 meter, a width of 8,7 meter and has a maximum speed of 30 knts. A crew of eight is sufficient.

Naval News talk about Qatari Navy Corvettes base Navy means limited capabilities for AAW. Interesting they are choosing to equip LPD for AAW purpose instead on larger Frigate base. Seems puting LPD as multipurpose amphibious and combatan as solutions that attract them.

Perhaps this LPD also can be use as mother ships for smaller Rigid Hull boats for interdiction purposes. Thus mother ships for litoral interdiction and having AAW capabilities to cover them.

Another potential entry into the MPA market is the C-390 so along with the P-8 and A321XLR there may be 3 large jets, a turboprop, and a several business jets competing for market share, getting somewhat crowded.
