MINDEF signs contract for 2 more Invincible-class submarines
Singapore's Defence Ministry has signed a contract for two more Invincible-class submarines. The vessels are expected to be delivered from 2034, adding to the current fleet of four. Former defence minister Ng Eng Hen had announced the procurement during the Committee of Supply debates in Parliament earlier this year. Dr Collin Koh, Senior Fellow from the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, discusses the role the submarines play in a navy's defence strategy. He talks about how the new fleet can help the Singapore Navy punch above its weight and stay ahead of regional military superpowers.
