New Route in Global Naval Power: Arrowhead 140 Headed to the US
Babcock, one of the leading contractors of the British defense industry, is preparing for a critical move that will increase its weight in the global naval warfare equipment market. The company has confirmed that it will officially enter the race for the US Navy's future frigate procurement program. The Arrowhead 140 general-purpose frigate design, which forms the basis of the Royal Navy's next-generation Type 31 class, has taken its place among foreign-origin designs that have caught Washington's radar. While Babcock continues preliminary talks with Pentagon officials and prepares to submit its letter of intent by the end of October, it is stated that this strategic initiative could be carried out in partnership with Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), the largest military shipbuilding company in the US.
