LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - British and Dutch forces will be equipped with new amphibious transport ships under a £2.4 billion ($3.2 billion) maritime partnership signed on Tuesday, the British government said.
"Combining the UK's industrial expertise with The Netherlands’ design and sea-faring experience to deliver first-rate platforms for our elite amphibious forces, this partnership will strengthen NATO," Prime Minister Keir Starmer - who is attending the NATO summit in Turkey - said in the statement.
