The current world-wide market is moving to:
a) multi-role auxiliaries (amphibs with RAS and sealift functionality for example).
b) OPVs of various armament levels (including in German exports); increased EEZ control demand
c) renewal of conventional fleets, with new emphasis on multi-role capability, and land-attack.

F125 fits into b) as a top-level tie-off, with limited capability in c).

Well thats a really useful comment isnt it, the world wide market is moving towards everything……….with that level of insight it is hardly surprising that German shipyards have lost so much ground to Spain and France in recent years.:rolleyes:

And your analysis is aweful, F125 does no fit into either of those categorys, it is a Germany specific hybrid.

Dont try and name drop, this is an internet forum, you could be anyone and claim anything so name dropping is petty pathetic and pointless.
