ATHENS, Nov 20 (Reuters) – Greece will approve next week the purchase of about 30 NH90 helicopters built by Eurocopter worth around 750 million euros and 12 Apache choppers from Boeing , worth another 700 million euros, a defence source told Reuters on Wednesday.
The source said the decisions will be announced during next week’s defence procurements committee meeting in Athens.

“Britain’s Vosper Thornycroft will also be awarded a 420 million euro contract to build a frigate for the Greek navy, jointly with Greek Elefsis shipyards , the source said.”

I believe that this is an option, on the previous contract with the above said company that is building the 62 metre Super Vita Class fast attack craft for Greece. Check link below.
