At least FFG(X)/Constellation seems to be going smoothly. Maybe that's a good sign.

- sofixa 5y agoThat's because the US navy finally accepted they're not that unique and asked for a proven foreign design. It's a subsidiary of an Italian shipbuilder building on the platform of a Franco-Italian design. Of course it should be going smoothly.
- greedo 5y agoUnfortunately they've made a lot of design modifications to the FREMM design. I worry that while some of these are necessary, it will add cost to what should be a comparatively cheap platform. If these end up being half the cost of a Burke while only capable of performing at 30%, it won't work out well.
