If the Type 83 destroyer proceeds, which countries might join the program?
Short answerThe programme is too undefined for a firm answer, but Japan is an attractive possibility and a Britain-Italy-Japan partnership could be considered if cooperation on Tempest succeeds.
NotesPotential Type 83 partners depend on how Britain structures the programme. Japan is suggested as an interesting country to work with. A Britain-Italy-Japan partnership could be attractive if their cooperation on the Tempest fighter succeeds. Participation in the naval programme remains uncertain.
