As the US Navy considers adopting foreign allied frigate designs, Japan's upgraded Mogami-class, South Korea's Chungnam-class, and Türkiye's Istanbul-class have emerged as leading candidates.

However, top contender Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan is taking a cautious stance due to required US facility investments, the "Finland Model" (building lead ships locally before transferring production to the US), and heavy workload from domestic and Australian naval orders.

In contrast, South Korean shipbuilders are moving aggressively to secure US footholds: Hanwha acquired Philly Shipyard, while HD Hyundai is collaborating with HII and expanding MRO operations. We dive deep into whether South Korea can overcome massive barriers to become a long-term strategic partner in US Navy ship design, construction, and MRO over the coming decades!
