There are so many discussions about the necessity of a 5000 t design in the forum, I really lost track of it.
I was wondering, can we convince them with price range and a fast time line from design to delivery for a new hull. A lighter TF2000, of course, would be among the options as well.
It all depends on how the buyer is manipulated whilst listening to the buyer’s needs, and putting that at the top of the list. There is also the matter of how these negotiations are conducted behind closed doors.

Regarding TF2000, the real question is whether we want a ”Jack-of-all-trades” kind of ship or an “expert” in what it is designed to do kind of ship.
A smaller but still capable midsize frigate can give you the latter in abundance if you design it correctly. Portuguese approach is clever. They want 4000ton, 5000ton and 6000 ton ships. That will address many individual areas of their navy.
