  Kockums has also concluded a new contract with the Republic of Singapore Navy, announced in November 2005, for two modernized Västergötland-class submarines.  The boats are currently in service with the Royal Swedish Navy and will be delivered to Singapore following modernization and conversion for tropical water operation.  The contract includes a logistics package and training for the crews by the Swedish Navy in Karlskrona.[21,22]

  Fearless Class PVs do NOT have GRP hulls.

  Only our minehunters have GRP hulls.
