Im not a big fan of the MEKO route tbh i would rather have better warships. Im not saying they are crap ships but they dont ring well with me. That should be a very good fleet if they are all from the one Vendor, cheap and with little support issues.

I agree, I dont think the RKN would be one for getting into a fight as they would get shafted. I would concentrate on persistant surveillance and minor conflict roles if something bigger kicks off i would stay out of it and protect my Island nation hence the number of subs. With 18 you could have 6 constant patrols at least, you could maybe surge some more when needed such as when an LPH deploys.

My idea so far:

2x FNS Mistral = £265mln each = £530mln total
32x VT 100M C3 design = £120mln each = £3,840mln total
18x HDW 212A = £300mln each = £5,400mln total
8x improved Absalon = £210mln each = £1,680
12x Aegir 18R = £160mln each = £1,920 mln

Total so far = £13,370.

Note i am lacking choppers etc but i’ll work that out at some point. My improved Absalons include a TAS, bow sonar, Mk.41 VLS. Absalon as is costs £160mln roughly

Well thats me.

EDIT: Anyone any idea how much FLynx will cost? or how much for a current HMA.8, Whats the cost of an ASW Merlin if bought now aka after R&D i think the RN one’s were over £40mln each including R&D.
I might go for Seahawks and Black Hawks as they are extremely cheap.
