Norway chooses the type 26 built in the UK. BAE is going to be busy

Interesting to note Norway will get its first T26 before we have our first river

Mostly because Norway is robbing UK Type 26's directly off the production line with basically no changes from what it looks like, so the UK will be in for some further hard times with their already busted Type 23 fleet.

But the Bermudian banks holding the Irving fortune are getting theirs, and isn't that what really matters?

Norway’s electricity crisis is about to hit Britain

European countries like the UK have become too reliant on cheap hydro from Scandinavia

Norway has made a fortune exporting both hydrocarbons and electricity to Europe. This is just rebalancing the books a bit.

Meanwhile, as BC and MB are discovering, hydro is not eternal.

I always thought the Brits would have to build more Type 31's than the 5 Planned to replace their River's and flesh out the escort fleet. Hot production and all that. They may get those 5 Type 31's before they get all 8 Type 26.
