Now IF the RN can just let them build it and not keep adding and tinkering with the spec you might, just might, get them for the £ 250 million target price
I think the Danes crew there's at around 100 men - so quite good for the manning issue.
The RN probably expects the ships to be built to the specs DE&S has mandated in the contract to meet the UK's purposes.
