Yep, very modular design...
I see they are still using the RAM air defense system there...Good spot, good coverage, no need to manuever much to unmask the battery...

That gun looks to be that (is it a Scandinavian design?) 57mm I believe...A very good gun system...

Looks stealthy...And are those Exocet SSM/ASM launchers (boxes)??? amidships???

This hull design doesn’t tell me much about any innovative manuevering or speed advantage over anything else out there right now either...

But still, if I could afford one, I’d put a fighting chair back aft and go trolling for Marlin sometime...I wouldn’t refuse the keys to one in the price was right...

It has a pretty exotic combination of French anti-ship missiles, American SAMs (ESSM + RAM) and an Italian 76 mm gun.
