The Victory, the first of six Multi-Role Combat Vessels (MRCV), was launched at Singapore Technology Engineering in the second half of October. The 150-metre-long ship will operate as a drone carrier in future and will be able to deploy its remotely or autonomously controlled weapons on all three levels. The Victory is expected to enter service by the end of 2027, with the other units due to be delivered successively from 2028. These ships are also likely to replace the six FK Victory-class fast patrol boats (Lürssen MGB 62) from the late 1980s. By then, the rapid development of drones will show which systems will be carried on board. Plug and play - sail away!
