Kingdom of Saudi Arabia May Order Four Multi-Mission Surface Combatant MMSC Ships

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced via press release yesterday that the U.S. State Department gave its green light for a proposed sale to Saudi Arabia of four Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) Ships, an export variant of Lockheed Martin's Freedom class LCS currently in use with the U.S. Navy.

Die Fregatten sollen offenbar am Persischen Golf stationiert werden. Ihre Bewaffnung soll u.a eine 76mm sowie ein 16er VLS Mk41 für ESSM sowie Seeziel-FK Harpoon umfassen.
