Royal Malaysia Navy
Two Scorpène class submarines were ordered by the RMN in 2006. The construction of two Scorpène submarines are to be built jointly by the French shipbuilder, DCNS, and its Spanish partner, Navantia. They will be armed with Blackshark wire-guided torpedoes and Exocet SM-39 sub-launched anti-ship missiles.
The submarine program also includes the redeployment of an Agosta class submarine retired from the French Navy, for the training of submarine crews. The training of 150 Malaysian sailors, mainly in Brest, France, represents an important aspect of the program.
In 2006, the RMN had launched a nationwide competition in order to select the names for the Malaysian first two submarines. On 26 July, RMN announced these vessels will be named after the historic people in Malaysia's history. The first hull will be named KD Tunku Abdul Rahman and the second hull KD Tun Razak. These vessels are classified as Perdana Menteri Class in service with RMN.[5] The first vessel, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman was launched on October 24, 2007 at the DCNS dockyard, Cherbourg, France[6]
