The HDL 13000 is a design developed by Hyundai Heavy Industries for the Royal Malaysan Navy. This MRSS (Multi Role Support Ship) has been unvealed at the DSA 2022 and one of the designs competing currently for the new class envisioned by the navy. It is planned for three units of the class to be acquired, entering service in the early 2020s, the last one by 2035.
Overall the class is designed to displace 13.000 tons, giving it the current name. It is planned to be 160 meters long with a relatively shallow draft. The ship will be able to carry 16 main battle tanks and 6 armoured vehicles at the same time. Landing operations can be done via the aft ramp, helicopters can be carried in the hangar and on the open deck.
For self defence and support, a 76mm cannon and an 8-cell VLS is ready to use, including smaller weaponries mounted along the upper deck. It is unknown how many additional systems the class will carry.
