As well as through life ship-repair services, the division's major construction projects included:
- Type 45 destroyer (in partnership with VT Group)
- Type 23 frigate
- Offshore Patrol Vessels
- Bay Class LSD(A) (in partnership with Swan Hunter)
- Wave Knight Class Auxiliary Tankers
BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions was responsible for the construction of the majority of the blocks of Type 45 destroyers (stern to bridge, excluding masts and funnels) as well as the assembly of these blocks and the two from VT Group (compromising all of the ship in front of the bridge). When launched from Scotstoun the ships are towed to Govan to be fitted with the VT-built masts and funnels, before returning to dry dock at Scotsoun for outfitting with radar arrays (SAMPSON and S1850M), bulbous bow, propellers, missile equipment and 4.5 inch naval gun.
BAE Systems completed three Nakhoda Ragam class Offshore Patrol Vessels for the Royal Brunei Navy, however the customer has refused to accept the vessels. The contract was awarded to GEC-Marconi in 1995 and the ships were launched in January 2001, June 2001 and June 2002 at the then BAE Systems Marine yard at Scotstoun. The ships are armed with MBDA Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles and MBDA Seawolf air defence missiles. The contract dispute was the subject of arbitration. The vessel left Scotstoun in 2007 in the hands of shipbrokers for onward sale.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
