The ship, whose name comes from a geographical area in the Emirates in the neighbourhood of Abu Dhabi, will be delivered in the last half of 2012. A second will be built with an option for an additional two (which is likely to be acted upon). Specs are sketchy at this time, but they tout it will be a multi-mission platform. This will be something interesting to follow. Edited January 25, 201214 yr by gemerson
