Thanks, shiplover! 😉

I must say, I can’t pronounce myself about the changes you are proposing for the BSAC’s design (I’m far from knowing it all about warship, really far…), but I trust you about them…

That said, I think you are right: that a similar design could well be produced within the next two decades, especially when you see how agressive the Spaniards are when having to export their kit (remember the Australian BPE ?). I won’t bet about its nationality, but Brazil is IMHO a serious contender…
