  /TI  Critical time for UK naval industry 
  JN=, JC=, PD=, PY  JANE'S DEFENCE WEEKLY  (JDW)  July 21, 2004 v.041 
    no. 029 
  AU=  By:  Desmond Wettern 
     
  /TX  THE UK naval equipment industry is at a crossroads. The possibility of 
    substantial overseas orders could mean a bright, long-term future for many 
    companies, while  other companies may have to cut back, due to dwindling 
    domestic orders. 
    (. . .) 
     
    Canada has, however, turned to the UK for helicopters for its new 
    'Halifax'  class destroyers with a letter of intent to EH Industries 
    for the proposed purchase of 25 EH 101s. 
     
    A number of UK companies have also supplied equipment, or have been 
    approached to assist with the 'Tribal' class frigate update and 
    modernisation programme. 
     
    Canada and The Netherlands have expressed interest in the 'River' 
    class design of ocean minesweepers, which may be sharpened by the 
    current situation in the Gulf. 
     
    The Vosper Thornycroft updated Leander class frigate and the Type 23 
    are among 11 contenders for the eight-ship Australian Light Frigate 
    Programme. 
    (. . .) 
     
    The Leander is also a prime contender for the Greek frigate 
    competition. 
     
    There must be considerable reservations by foreign navies on 
    proposals for a modernised export version of the Oberon submarine 
    design. 
     
    Most navies are unlikely to view favourably a desing originating in 
    the 1950s. 
    (. . .) 
     
    However, continuing UK Government delays in ship procurement for the 
    Royal Navy will directly affect overseas orders. 
     
    A shrinking Royal Navy, and consequently the industrial base that 
    supports it, will not breed confidence in the UK's ability to keep 
    in front of naval technology. 
     
    Competition, upon which the government puts such store, is in danger 
    of becoming meaningless, since, lacking any firm indications of 
    long-term procurement policies, industry cannot make any plans for 
    investment in manpower and capital resources.  This, in turn, must 
    increasingly affect the ability of many companies to compete in 
    foreign markets.

    Navy, there is export potential in the Type 22
