DSME and Navantia had showed off one of their design proposals at the Pacific 2015 international martime exhibition, one of the replenishment ships based on spanish+korean designs would likely compete against together to team up with the Australian navy to meet their requirements for a new logistics transport ship by 2020 with winning design in late 2015 or 2016 with contract to be signed by 2017 and constructed by the tenders. It would likely be jointly build by ASC shipyard with South Korea or Spain. The DSME design would likely meet the navy's requirements to enable capabilities in Australian seas, it may be equipped by a American naval weapon or not.
