Some other ships around the world... many of these ships were in bid for P-17A..... Shipyards from SK, France, UK, Italy, Russia and US received RFI... DCNS with a new ship based on FREMM is the most probable winner...
P-17A must look better than these..... should be in the line of DDX or Swordship...
FREMM

Mate what do u mean by many of these ships were bid for P-17 A.
I thought it was an indigenous warship just like the Shivaliks.
Care to explain..?
Brother there is no relation between P-17 and P-17A. P-17A will be a complete new ship. RFI have been sent to French DCNS, Italian Fincantieri, American firms Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman besides shipyards in Russia and Korea to manufacture the frigates.
DCNS cleverly tied up with GRSE to form a JV to win the tender. But now MDL and GRSE will divide between them the entire order for seven frigates. Though MDL will start the construction first, GRSE will be the main designer of the ships. So I called DCNS as front runner. The JVs will be mainly for learning the techniques of modular construction of the ships. Both MDL and GRSE will be ready for modular construction of ships from mid 2011.
India already building her first carrier with modular techniques.
ok so the RFI were just for design techniques and consultation./.?
Not the entire ships..?
I think earlier Navy's request was to get 2 warships made by bid winner in their country and construct the rest here in India by ToT for modular design technique to have early delivery and fast ToT even if it cost more to Navy. But later it was decided to construct all the warship here in India only by Indian shipyards.
Guys my main query is.....IS it a Indian Ship just built by foreign shipyards using modular techniques OR Is it a foreign ship itself jus like the MMRCA..?
