LUMUT: RMN chief Laksamana Datuk Ramlan Mohamed Ali said Friday the navy had shortlisted six names for the Scorpene-model submarine that would be Malaysia’s first, and expected to be delivered by mid-2009.
He said the six names had been selected from the 801 suggestions that the navy had received from the public in a contest launched to name the submarine.
Malaysia will obtain the Scorpene submarine from Armaris, a joint venture between French shipbuilder DCN and Thales, the prime contractor for the Malaysian submarine programme.
