This Coast Guard OPV class you posted was made at Ananda Shipyard and slipways some ten years ago (CGS Porte Grande and CGS Shetgang). I like the sleek design. :smitten:

At least six to eight yards in Bangladesh are capable of making warships up to ten thousand tonnes displacement. Sorry for the OT segway.

Currently Western Marine is building another large OPV (350 tonnes) for Kenya. Two CPPs and a waterjet. At 35 knots this thing is fast

at least 17 shipyards are making internationally classified ships.... and the ships are mostly up to 80-100m long.... some yards are now under construction that would be able to build ship of up to 50,000DWT... and remember than DWT is not equal to full load displacement... when ships are made above ground, they are empty... so, an aparenetly big ship doesn't actually weigh that much while on the slipways....
 
. . . . . .

I think this essentially confirms to a high degree of confidence that these four ships from Italian Navy (Marina Militare) will be Minerva Class (don't know with or without Aspide - but the fact that the news article talks about 'OPV' means probably without.) Of course I'd be happier if these four ships would have been the ready-to-be-surplused Maestrale class frigates - but something is better than nothing (Shamsuddiner betar ghorer nati).

Interesting that Pakistan uses the latest variant of the Aspide (Sea Sparrow copy - Aspide 2000). China ordered the Aspide back in the 80's to develop the HQ-6 which has now been passed over for the improved HQ-7a or FM-90.
