Prospects for Enforcer 15628 in the British-Dutch program

It is a plausible leading option, although its size may be marginal and the final decision remains open.

Question

How likely is Enforcer 15628 to be chosen for the British and Dutch amphibious program?

Short answer

It is a plausible leading option, although its size may be marginal and the final decision remains open.

Notes

Enforcer 15628 is treated as a likely option because Damen already offers the design within a joint British-Dutch context. It may be smaller than either navy ultimately wants. Delays and approaching capability gaps nevertheless increase the attraction of a design that can move quickly into a real program. The answer remains cautious because no selection had been made.
