depend what you see. I refer to  Seahawk romeo
technically yes, one of best ASW heli,  it still can use in our Gowind, but not 100% best solution for Gowind. if finally select for Gowind, than mainly due to price is cheaper
1) Our Gowind is use Thales ASW system, than Seahawk use own system from L3, means both work independently, can't share date between ship/Heli,  if want to install Thales ASW system in Seahawk, than have to pay more for RnD and Integration. than price even expensive than AW159 ASW. (we only need 6)
2. Too small space in seahawk, Seahawk romeo with ASW system there is no space anymore for SAR, crew/goods transport or event Medical assistance,  same issue to AW159.  remember only 1 heli fit in Gowind, well on US DDG, they have 2 heli hanger , 1 for ASW Heli,  other 1 for crew/goods transport and SAR.

so i think Gowind probably not get ASW heli, just normal navy heli with search radar and FLIR, mostly Seahwak/AW159. only Nh90NFH fit both,but just too expensive.

Kinda negate the advantage of having a CAPTAS.

That was the hope. But another ships from dsme basically will overlap the second batch of sgpv. Definitely,there would be budget concern

The current gowind will be said in between aaw and asw with anti ship capabilities. To be honest, it quite a inadequate here and there system, if want to say multi-purpose, sg formidable class would be better

A proper ciws pun tak ada
Ada request for more subs?

That's what I'm afraid. They try to fit too big a role in too small a platform. I think they should upgrade the Kedah class to be a multirole surface warship while the Gowind should just concentrate on being an ASW specialist. We are woefully lacking in that area.
