The South African Navy (SAN) is engaged in a fleet renewal programme that will change the nature of the SAN from a Navy focussed on its own waters to one with real regional capability. Two major acquisition projects (patrol corvettes and submarines) are well in hand, together with the related SA Air Force acquisition of SUPER LYNX helicopters, and two further major projects (landing platforms and patrol vessels) are in their early stages. Assuming that the latter will be funded, the SAN will have totally renewed its fleet and reshaped its capabilities by 2020.
