Did TKMS have a similar system?Some contract news has started to appear showing non indigenous systems being fitted to the Improved Mogami class, the latest being the Palfinger Stern Launch and Recovery System. As the RAN GPF’s will have minimal changes, this is the system that should be fitted to our vessels.
“PALFINGER MARINE has been named to supply the stern launch and recovery systems (Stern-LARS) for the first five vessels of the new frigates, which are scheduled to be built between 2027 and 2036. The scope of the contract includes an updated version of the proven and unique PALFINGER Slipway System technology, previously delivered for the Mogami-class, adapted to meet the demands of the new FFM design.”
