If carrier capability is not required Hürjet could bid for this tender as it is, no modification required given no engine modifications required.

I found out that bidding deadline is around Fall 2026. And looking at two remaining bidders, Hürjet would really meet the advanced supersonic jet requirements.
Don’t know anything about Sierra Nevada other than they claim they will have to be cheapest running costs.
Leonardo’s offer M-346N lacks CV landing gears as well but run by many air forces.
Under ideal conditions Id say piece of cake but of course, politics.

US can't afford to not have the latest and gratest. Hürjet stands a chance.

NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — Families of sailors assigned to the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group are already preparing for a deployment that will last more than seven months as the U.S. conflict with Iran continues.

When USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), its escorts and the embarked Carrier Air Wing 11 leave from San Diego in the coming weeks, the strike group is expected to move to U.S. Central Command to relieve the Japan-based USS George Washington (CVN-73), which entered U.S. 5th Fleet last week. Since Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28, the U.S. has maintained a carrier presence in the Arabian Sea, launching strike missions over Iran and enforcing a subsequent naval blockade of Tehran.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Perryman, each one year into the job, told reporters Wednesday that this commitment shows no signs of stopping and the service is doing what it can to ease the pressure on deployed sailors and their families facing the longest deployments in decades.

日本、韩国、土耳其军舰正在考虑参加新美国护卫舰竞赛​

据美国海军海军院新闻获悉,白宫和美国海军正在考虑韩国、日本和土耳其为新型军舰设计的护卫舰。

三位熟悉商会讨论的业内人士本周向USNI新闻证实,国际军舰竞赛可能包括在国外造船厂建造多达两艘舰艇,随后转向国内造船厂,这是特朗普政府推动快速扩充舰队的一部分。这一举措打破了美国超过一个世纪的国内海军建设历史。

可能在海外购买护卫舰是在白宫八月发布的一份备忘录之后,该备忘录为五角大楼打开了考虑外国设计的大门,通过援引“国家安全利益”豁免条款,绕过了美国禁止外国建造军舰进入海军服役的法律。

白宫发布备忘录后,代理海军部长洪高指示海军助理部长威廉·马汉负责研究、开发与采购,负责监督军事海运司令部对国际战斗舰艇、滚装货船及海上货物补给(CONSOL)油轮的研究,备忘录措辞经美国海军海军新闻审阅。该评估截止日期为2026年11月12日。

三位消息人士告诉美国海军海军新闻,正在考虑的国际设计包括三菱重工FFM最上级导弹护卫舰的出口版本,以及由多家韩国造船厂建造的忠南级导弹护卫舰。两位消息人士告诉USNI新闻,这艘由多家土耳其造船厂建造的伊斯坦布尔级导弹护卫舰也在土耳其领导层与总统唐纳德·特朗普于7月北约峰会期间的对话后被列入讨论范围。

向白宫管理与预算办公室发出的置评请求未立即得到回复。海军ASN RDA发言人在接受USNI新闻采访时承认白宫正努力利用盟友支持美国造船业,但未直接提及新护卫舰公开竞争的可能性。

罗恩·弗兰德斯上校周二对美国海军海军新闻表示:“总统已指示海军积极提升国内造船能力,包括利用盟友经过验证的造船技能和工业专长。”“我们正在积极开发方案,以实现总统加快交付舰船的意图,同时确保美国造船厂内的长期投资、技术转让和劳动力扩张。”

这笔护卫舰协议可能推动所谓的“芬兰模式”,即建造可能先在外国造船厂开始建造,最多建造前两艘船体,随后有外国投资美国设施和造船基础设施。该概念延续了美国海岸警卫队对北极安全巡逻舰的做法,芬兰造船厂基于加拿大设计建造初始船体,随后将建造过渡到美国造船厂。

管理与预算办公室主任拉斯·沃特在公开演讲中大力宣传芬兰模式,呼吁在美国海军造船厂加强造船竞争。

该护卫舰正好填补了海军水面力量当前的能力缺口。军种领导人表示,阿利·伯克级导弹驱逐舰专为高端海战设计,常用于执行一些基础任务,而这些任务由护卫舰等较不复杂的平台也能完成。

“海军无法仅靠单一尺寸舰艇运作,”战斗部队副项目采购执行官布莱恩·梅特卡夫少将在七月的社交媒体视频中表示。“护卫舰会填补那个空缺。它们也可以用于争议较少的水域。它们可以作为高价值的护送。护卫舰可以填补各种空缺,让驱逐舰执行高端任务。”

去年年底,时任海军部长约翰·菲兰取消了星座级(FFG-62)导弹护卫舰项目,转而推动FFX计划,基于海岸警卫队的国家安全巡逻舰打造巡逻护卫舰。星座级舰艇计划满足海军的水面反潜作战能力。HII的英格尔斯造船厂已开始首艘FFX护卫舰的前期生产,但尚未获得合同。

尽管上个月白宫备忘录援引国家安全利益豁免权以推动海外造船,国会却试图限制行政部门利用这一例外的能力。参议院军事委员会在其2027财年国防政策法案草案中废除了该豁免,试图限制白宫追求外国军舰建造。众议院军事委员会在政策法案草案中包含一项修正案,禁止任何授权资金用于购买在外国造船厂建造的美国军舰的合同。立法者尚未公布该法案的最终版本。

2027财年预算提案首次披露了由OMB领导的推动外国军舰设计的努力。提交的调解部分——在国会山前景不明——包括18.5亿美元用于一项外国军舰设计研究。海军官员告诉美国海军海军官员,该研究重点是从日本和韩国购买军舰。

近年来,拜登和特朗普政府的海军官员都曾访问韩国造船厂。菲兰去年在担任海军部长期间,曾在韩国的多个船厂工作。

理查德·布雷肯里奇是一名退役三星上将,目前担任海军造船高级顾问,八月底曾在韩国多家造船厂停留,Business Korea报道。

据韩国通讯社韩联社报道,7月,众议院拨款委员会国防小组委员会的美国代表团访问了韩国的HD现代和韩华海洋造船厂。

除了土耳其和亚洲造船厂外,美国在欧洲的盟友还建造了多种护卫舰。威斯康星州的星座级护卫舰建造厂芬坎蒂尼·马里内特·马林设计基于意大利和法国海军广泛出口的多用途护卫舰FREMM。


Let's guess whether the U.S. government would be willing to amend its laws to build warships overseas.

The White House and U.S. Navy are considering frigate designs from South Korea, Japan and Turkey for a new class of warships, USNI News has learned.

An international warship competition could include building up to two of the ships in foreign shipyards before transitioning to domestic yards as part of the Trump administration’s push to rapidly expand the fleet, three industry sources familiar with the deliberations confirmed to USNI News this week. The move would break with more than a century of U.S. domestic naval construction.

Potentially buying frigates abroad follows an August White House memo that opened the door for the Pentagon to consider foreign designs by invoking a “national security interest” waiver to bypass a U.S. law prohibiting foreign-built warships from entering naval service.
