Navantia has developed a proposal for the Walrus Class replacement that joins the benefits of a mature proven design with the inclusion of new technologies that will be incorporated into the final design.

The proposal fully meets the Dutch ambition with minimum risk.

We are commited to involve Dutch industrial and technology partners and the Royal Netherlands Navy in all the phases of the lifecycle, from the design to the sustainment, ensuring a complete transfer of knowledge. We are delighted to invite all potential suppliers to join us at this event. We will present our vision for the S-80 FLIGHT 2 FOR THE NETHERLANDS and provide a briefing of how suppliers can work as part of our team. Please scroll down for details of how to register.
