Overall though agree with the balance of your fleet, assuming that in addition we would still have the B2 Rivers (which ultimately I’d say should come onto the same platform, but maybe not all the kit as the MHPC).
I do think the Leander is a closer match to the stated budget and could be a bigger export winner. Having said that if the budget is increased by about ballpark £200mn (to cover additional build and support costs) then I can accept the Arrowhead 140 and my view of reduced export chances, assuming the class is 12+ Vessels.
yes, keeping the batch 2 rivers.
if you assume a [real] for 5x a140 at £2.2b, would you still spend it on a140, or would you instead buy one extra T26 and spend the remaining on a cheap and cheerful leander based MHCp platform?
@abc - not too fussed whether bahrain or not, could be oman or s'pore. better to just read it as: based east of Med.
