Babcock submits revised proposal for Hellenic Navy corvette and frigate MLU programmes

UK shipbuilder Babcock has submitted its updated proposal to the Greek government to meet the requirements of the second phase of the Hellenic Navy's modernisation objectives. This follows the recent Frégate de Défense et d'Intervention (FDI) acquisition for the first phase. The UK offer includes newbuild Arrowhead 140 (AH140) frigates and the mid-life upgrade (MLU) of the four Hydra-class (MEKO 200HN) frigates with common equipment. My story for Janes here.
