  ST  turnarounded a failing US shipyard to build

  US Army Logistic Support Vessels

  ST can also build for SAF .Right?

  My point is dunt look down ST Engineering too much.

  Besides UK MOD asks ST supply ATTC,US Army also ask

  ST's US subsidy to build ships,not a small ships,with bow and stern ramps.
