RMN’s first Scorpène boat to return to service in May after refit

The Royal Malaysian Navy’s (RMN’s) first Perdana Menteri (Scorpène)-class attack submarine, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman , will be returning to service in May following the completion of an 18-month in-country refit.

“The move marks the first time a Scorpène-class boat has undergone a refit outside France,” an official from the Boustead DCNS Naval Corporation (BDNC) joint venture – which is conducting the refits – told Jane's on 18 April at the DSA 2018 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
