Man, that Spanish concept warship looks like something I saw in 80s Japanese Anime set on Earth in the year 2100.

[EyeInTheSkypaulmcmenamin]

I like the Navantia concept destroyer.

[umu]

WOW Navantia's Smart 8000 destroyer concept model looks promising IMHO 😸

[Wolfe]

a friend of mine built that SMART 8000 model, saw it at his place when I delivered the display case for it

[SANTIAGOHISPANIORUM]

The spaniards Smart 8000 concept is very intersting. It is like a surface multiporpouse submarine. Looks like the USS Zumwalt but much cheaper I am sure. It´s a destroyer but a drone aircraft carrier at the same time. It´s just genious!

The "Activate Windows" Watermark on the screen at the Navantia booth is hilarious.

increíble el diseño español, increíblemente moderno pero he estado viendo detenidamente el video y me parece un diseño excelente. a ver en que cierto mr. Fernández nivel de ingles de 2º de ESO jaaaja

[pr]

really missed those exhibition/trade show videos. =)

[bernadmanny]

Everytime he says Arafura it makes me smile.

[KamiInValhalla]

The Spanish ship is really interesting. Would love to see it be built

[drinksnapple]

I see Australia purchasing surplus USN Mk110 57mm mounts for a very very low price for the ARAFURA-class OPV.

[michaelrostosky]

The BMT Design is nice, but the placeing of the back Phalanx is cutting the options

[jimbobhootenanny]

That last ship looks like a sub and a boat

[toptrainers]

i just can't believe they keep Arafura's name for themselves

[jamieshields]

Xavier you definitely pull out interesting warships in design👍OPV design has plenty room to grow unfortunately the dropping of 40mm is disappointing as Arafura needs so weapon where it’s defence or offensive. On positive note I do like BMT design n very smart in offering with building in Australia. Smart 8000 is definitely got what is needed for Hobart replacement but weight 8 to 10t is bit light especially compared to Hunter class.

[strikezero]

its a like a Star Wars design with a little Spanish bread all over it

[Lyphatma]

Everything is always an 'interim solution' in Australia.

[zhkctwn]

The Navantia destroyer concept looks like an upscale of the Swedish Visby Class corvette just not as stealthy.

[SanctuaryLife]

I still can’t understand why in this day and age given China concerns that Australia is still building paper Tiger patrol boats? When the 2 fleets we have go down, these will be all we have left and need to be able to hit ships with a missile some type, why can’t it have at least an 8 cell launcher?

[jacksonteller]

The Spanish ship somehow reminded me of Thundersub.
