DCNS and Lockheed Martin are still working to win a Saudi Navy frigate programme, taking into consideration the illness of Crown Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz who is still in New York recovering from a serious illness. The following 464-word report included in Tactical Weekly of April 17, 2009 focuses on the subject and tells what DCNS and Lockheed Martin are doing and what the Saudis are doing on their side too. Note that DCNS is offering the FREMM-class frigate, while Lockheed Martin is offering the Combat Littoral Ship (LCS-1).
