Rejected Brunei Frigates Sold – the three BAE built NAKHODA RAGAM Class Corvettes built for the Brunei Navy have finally been confirmed as sold.      The original contract was awarded to GEC-Marconi in 1995 and the ships, a variant of the F2000 design, were launched in January 2001, June 2001 and June 2002 at the then BAE Systems Marine yard at Scotstoun (Glasgow).    The ships were refused and the contract dispute became the subject of arbitration, and when the dispute was settled (in favour of BAE Systems), the vessels were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007.     In 2007, Brunei contracted the German Lürssen shipyard to find a new customer for the three ships; in November 2012, it was announced that Indonesia had signed a memorandum of understanding with Britain to acquire the vessels for one-fifth of the original unit cost.     The ships are expected to enter service with the Indonesian Navy by 2013–2014 and reports are that the SEAWOLF is likely to be removed by the MICA system.   This brings to an end the long and unhappy saga of this Brunei Contract, and maybe just, open a new chapter of co-operation with the Indonesian Navy.
