About the MMSC

The Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) is a modern ship designed to confront a variety of threats, both in littoral and open ocean waters. Developed for the Royal Saudi Navy, the MMSC has a semi-planning mono-hull made of steel and aluminum and an open-architecture design.

At 118.6 meters in length, 17.6 meters in beam, and 4.3 meters in draft, the MMSC has a displacement of 3,600 tons. The ship features a large deck that can support an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter, as well as a helicopter hangar that can accommodate additional unmanned air vehicles.

For naval missions in high sea states, the MMSC is equipped with rigid-hulled inflatable boats that are carried amidship and an articulating stern ramp for fast and safe deployment.
