awarded Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC) a contract to design and
produce the next generation small surface combatant, the Guided
Missile Frigate (FFG(X)). The FFG(X) will be based on the successful
'European multi-purpose frigate' designed by Italian shipbuilder
Fincantieri and the French Naval Group. Ships of this design are
already operated by the French, Italian, Egyptian and Moroccan and
will also be supplied to Brazil.</p>
