The 3rd (and final) Velocity S has been canceled, which means that when D155 Improvement is completed later this summer it will be the last Velocity class destroyer built by the DDS... because future Velocities will be built by the Raegris. The Velocity-E will be the latest addition to the DDS Exports portfolio, though the first 5 will be for the DDS.
The small production jig for Velocity will be replaced by a larger jig operated by the Raegris, it will be able to build a Velocity in 5 months instead of the 11-12 months it currently takes. The Velocity-E for the DDS will have an improved specification to the S but that has not been finalised yet. The first Velocity-E (likely to have a different name in DDS service) is expected by the end of the year. It is not known if the Raegris will also buy the type.
