Is the RFAs new FSS build going overseas?

Spotted this article in the Guardian, hardly the most reliable or accurate newspaper, nevertheless....no smoke without fire!

I don't think the Guardian hacks fully understand that RFAs are not warships though!

Anyway - If this is true, I don't think any UK yard could currently compete against either Japanese or Korean yards, if they were competing on just cost alone - which I guess would be the case?
