Here are some re- update:
Tier 5B)(These countries have same limitations as above plus their ships are a mix of older and newer but in some cases less capable ships than above although Taiwan and Turkey have many more surface combatants #s wise)
Taiwan
(soon 4 ex- Kidd class DDG(replacing 7 ex-US WWII vintage DD), 8 OHP design Frigates, 6 Lafayette design Frigates w/ sonar unlike the French units, 8 ex-US Knox class Frigates)
(2 SSK Netherlands-built but are trying to buy 8 modern ones)
Turkey
(8 ex-US OHP Frigates, 8 MEKO 200 Frigates, 5 ex-US Knox Frigates)
(12 SSKwith two building German-design Type 209)
Greece( 1 ex-US DDG, 4 MEKO 200 Frigates 3200fl, 10 ex-Netherlands Frigate 3800fl)
(8 SSK German-design Type 209 building four new ones German design Type 214)
Tiers 6A, 6B, 6C are navies in flux. But I thought some type of breakdown was necessary. 6A navies are on the cutting edge of technology but #s are closer to 6C which are modern compared to 6B in general.(Notable exception is Pakistan and Chiles new build SSKs.)
(Tier 6A)(These countries are modernizing but have ships in far fewer #s than above, SSK are modern )
Sweden
(4 SSKs, 5 Visby Stealth Corvettes)
Norway
(6 SSK German-built, Buying 5 new Frigates)
Denmark
(Building 4 new frigates, 2 Flexible Support ships a cross between a frigate and an amphibious ship)
(Have had SSKs until recently)
S.Africa
(buying 3 new SSK German-built Type 209, 4 new Frigates German-built MEKO 200)
(Tier 6B)(These countries have older ships although especially in the case of Pakistan have good SSKs)(Have generally a couple more vessels than above.)
Chile
(Replacing current fleet(4 ex-UK DDG and 4 ex-UK Frigates) with up to 3 ex UK Frigates w/ one already in service plus 4 ex-Netherlands Frigates)
(4 SSK)
1+1 French-built Scorpene
2 German-built 209
Pakistan
(6 ex-UK Frigates)3700fl
(8 SSK w/ one building)(all French-built)
Peru
( 1 ex-Netherlands Cruiser, 4 Lupo class Frigates were to get four ex-Italian Lupo Frigates but apparently this wont happen)
(6 SSK German-built Type 209)
Venezuela
(6 Lupo class Frigates)2500fl
(2 German-Built Type 209 SSK)
Indonesia
(6 ex-Netherland frigates)3000fl
(2 SSK German-built Type 209)
AS you can see from this post and the above posts German-designed/built Frigates and submarines predominate. France has also had some export success. As has Russia.
The US , UK and Netherlands have many ex- ships serving in other navies in addition to exports of built or designed ships.
