Hell we always try. Daewoo sold a 2300ton light frigate to Bangladesh a few years ago. DW is also competing in the Omanese OVP competition, and supported Daesun that sold LPD to Indonesia, and got 209 overhaul deal from Indonesia as well. There have been few other support and light ship exports here and there.

With the increasing designs and sophistication, both Daewoo and Hyundai hopes to jump into internationally competitive warship building yards. Their main selling products is KD-1 based frigate designs and the KD-2. FFX will offer a better export potential however. It’ll be nice to have a single affordable design.
