I mean the additional procurement, not the 2nd vessel. I think Pohang class served as the same thing like maestrale, but what is the "new" vessel?
Anyway, just realizing it would be the 3rd class using turbine engine apart from mandau fac and maestrale
They just born in the wrong time i guess, not high tension like nowadays. I mean in the 2000s vs these decades. When these times they got someone who will catch them up in the pacific.
those sharp edge on the hull predate in ddg 1000 project, ever included in Zumwalt proto, while for the mast, the concept opt for separated radar emplacement like in the Tico CG, Akizuki DGG or germany F126.
