>BAE Systems is officially gunning for the U.S. Navy’s new frigate program with its new Type 26 frigate now in production in the U.K.
>Company officials confirmed Thursday it had responded to the U.S. Navy’s request for information and were in talks with unspecified companies in the states about how it would build the ship for the FFG(X) program, according to a BAE official who spoke on background to discuss early developments.
>“In terms of the technical requirements, its a good fit. ... We responded to the RFI and we’re confident its a pretty good fit,” the official said.

Would the USA ever use foreign built ships in its navy? The UK does not like doing it.

The only time Bongs did well with selling to the US was with the Canberras and the Hawk trainer. Not gonna happen.

The Harrier too but this is all going back a few years and none applies to ships, likewise the RN has not been buying US warships.

Do you lack reading comprehension skills?

>>35168068
I thought the Scots were the only ones there that could build a ship, so wouldn't it be celticfrigate

>>35168218
You did not answer my question, do YOU lack reading comprehension skills? I asked if there was a chance the US Navy could adopt the design as well.
>>
>>35168189
Its not the UK selling them, its BAE.
BAE simply responded to a request for a design submission fitting their brief, and are now shilling it to the US because it fits their brief too.

>>35168247
No, you asked if the US could use foreign BUILT warships, not designed. Two very different things.

You borrowed our carriers during ww2, didn't look after them very well either.

Purchased them, you made sure we paid back every last penny too. Merchant you are my greatest ally.

I meant the Americans borrowed British carriers.

>>35168174
The design could be license built here in the States.

Built domesticly, foreign license is possible.
