Very interesting showing from Davie, I have never seen these renders or related info elsewhere yet. We'll see if its all blunder, Davie doesn't have much of a track record to go off especially with warships. I wonder if these are just repackaged designs they got from buying Helsinki Shipyards lol.

That is the vibe I got from their Polar Class announcement, that the partnership brings more than just icebreaking capability.

Then the company supplying the shafts can say "We shafted them, good!"
