Germany unveils combat ship plans

摘要

Germany's defence procurement agency - the Bundesamt fur Wehrtechnik und Beschaf-fung (BWB) - has formulated its official design and requirements proposal for the Multi-Purpose Combat Ship (MPCS 180) programme, formerly known as the Kl 31 corvette project. Six vessels are planned to be ordered by the BWB, which has dubbed the programme "the Swiss Army knife of the future German Navy".
