Corvette building at Portsmouth

[Robert J Smith]

I saw this corvette under construction at Vosper Thornycroft's in Portsmouth

They are building three corvettes for the Oman Navy and I assume this is the first of the series AL SHANIKH (Q40), can anyone confirm this?

Hi Bob,

You are correct in your assumption. By the way Vosper Thornycroft no longer exist. We are now Bae Systems.

Thanks for the confirmation Allan, and the correction to the company name  :-)

Cheers
