Já vais ter 3 fragatas "high-end" (ideal eram 4, mas...); as ECV estão previstas para quando as BD/VdG já têm de estar substituídas; as EPC/MMPC são "substituto natural de: NPOs armados, corvetas, fragatas ligeiras antigas, navios de presença oceânica" e nós temos que arranjar dinheiro para mais SSK e, pelos vistos, LPD e "F-35"... em quais apostas?
. As EPC/MMPC serão para substituir os primeiros NPOs em 2041-2043?

Europe’s most ambitious naval collaboration in decades, the European Combat Vessel (ECV) is a modular, multipurpose
warship designed to safeguard Europe’s maritime security and global sea lines of communication.
Built on a systemsto-the hull approach, it strengthens EU defence cohesion, standardisation and defragmentation, while remaining fully coherent with NATO targets.
Following the 2024 CARD cycle and the November 2024 Ministerial Steering Board, seven EU Member States—Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain—signed a Letter of Intent to develop a new ECV class for the 2040 horizon, with the ambition to become a future EU flagship capability. Work is progressing rapidly under the EDA framework, with the harmonised High-Level Requirements already under national endorsement.
Why it matters
• Catalyst for EU naval defragmentation, standardisation and communality
• Reinforces pan-European collective strength and economies of scale
• Bridges future naval missions while modernising European fleets
• Strong European footprint, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and PESCO initiatives
A multi-domain capable vessel
The ECV will differ significantly from traditional vessels. Prioritizing an open, system(s)-of-systems modular design, it can meet varied operational needs, from protecting critical infrastructure to countering advanced undersea threats, and addressing global challenges at all domains, wherever EU interests call.
Economies of scale, standardisation, industrial cooperation.
A joint procurement approach will enable us to reduce the costs of equipment, training and logistics. It will also enable the development of shared naval schools across Europe, fostering a new generation of crews trained to common standards.
The establishment of common logistics chains will generate synergies, optimize resource allocation and reduce redundancies, thereby strengthening both sustainability and resilience across the European defence ecosystem.
Industrial dimension and economic benefits
By leveraging the combined capabilities of Europe’s leading shipyard consortia and supporting industries, the project will create thousands of jobs, drive innovation and strengthen Europe’s industrial and technological base
