The DDS have confirmed that 4 Pentekonter 44M minesweeper/utility patrol ships will be built from next year. These will help add capacity to the minesweeping fleet and also provide more ships available for secondary duties.
A surprise is that the DDS will also built 3 more Rome 46A patrol ships. This is also to add capacity to the fleet (which is slightly depleted as 2 ships are reserved to act as flagships for the DDS Commander). They are expected in 2116.
