Barrow in Furness ship photos

$Nakhoda Ragam class corvettes, Barrow-in-Furness, 2 February 2013 1. Offshore patrol vessels built by BAe Systems at Scoutstoun for the Royal Brunei Navy who decided not to accept them despite, after a dispute, having paid £600 million for them. They have been laid up for sale at Barrow since 2007. In 2012 it was reported that Indonesia would acquire them for a fraction of their original cost - NB that the ship at right has had its Brunei pennant number (30) removed. They are equipped with Exocet and Sea Wolf missiles and a 76mm gun, which has been removed.$
