Was the weight issue solved by removing the Gabriel missiles and replacing the 76mm cannon with the 20mm CIWS or is there still a weight problem with this class?
“Shipbuilding costs are high in the United States. American shipyard workers are highly unionized, a factor which lowers productivity. Since American shipyards are fundimentally uncompetitive in terms of building costs, there really isn’t much of a shipbuilding industry anymore outside of Navy contracts.”
Israel is not the only country that receives money from the USA. I would think the US Coast guard or other countries like Greece, Turkey, Phillipines, Taiwan, etc. would be interested in this ship.
