Since we currently only have 6 Z9Cs in active service that can accommodate aboard our fleets (landing space), PN does in fact require helicopters for recent and forthcoming acquisitions (about 20–24 vessels). The following options are the most sensible and feasible since the French options are absurd:

• Z9Ds
• AW149/159

Both types will provide commonality and reduce logistical headaches because they are mature (strong baseline) and in service; AW139 with PA & PAF and Z9Cs with PN. Given that Gokbey is new, in the development stage, and has not yet started active duty—it will take at least 5-7 years before it is considered viable.
