Greece Navy New Hellenic Corvette Programs

[Akritas]

The French Gowind corvettes will ultimately be the Navy's choice according Vradini newspaper. Both the government and the leadership of the Navy have come to this conclusion, but the issue will be completed by March, because issues of a sensitive nature are pending, both in their equipment and in the final price, which the Greek side wants to further reduce, for to gain flexibility in their support capabilities.

Dutch(Sigma Class) and the Italians(Doha Class), along with the Americans(HF2 Class), were keenly interested in the Corvette program, but the French made a catalytic move. In particular, instead of four, they proposed five Gowind corvettes at a cost of about 1.8 billion euros. This is an increase of 100 million compared to its last offer, which, however, concerned four instead of five corvettes.

The French offer puts the Greek shipyards in the game, something that was a goal and a condition for the government. Specifically, they suggest that two or three of the five Gowinds can be built in Greece, with a construction time of 32 months.

Apparently the British have also decided to throw their hat into the ring, recommending and sending an offer for the Type 31. If the reports are true that they are the same price as the other competitors in the competition then it's the offer of the century, since it's an almost 6000T Frigate ( vs 2500T corvettes in the competition) that has + 8 more Anti-air missiles per ship compared to the corvettes in the competition. Common sense though dictates that the price reports are bs or the price is for the ship without any of the equipment.

British proposal, however, needs a lot of clarification, especially on the issue of medium-range anti-aircraft missiles(SM2) as well as anti-submarine defense(VDS and HMS sonars, antitorpedo system).
