If you mean the MV A10 in the previous post, it's a Damen product.

I noticed Daphne Class submarines in the dry dock. Are these being fixed?

Hi Mistral....sorry I have no idea, but it was a nice long deployment. I seem to recall seeing a photo of her at a port recently in Mozambique, and then later she was out in the Atlantic for out to sea according to MarineTraffic, so she really got some nice sea time. SAS Protea also out to sea at the moment which is fantastic. :smt023 :smt023

I think she was only out in the bay and surroundings for about 2 weeks now with sea trials.
Other than that, she was pretty much tied up in the inner basin after her brief dry docking.

Replaced Navy Tug - "Umalusi" (ex Golden Energy) was out in the bay today. A real delight to see her at sea once more. :D
