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:
“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)
“... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
