DSEI 2019: Eight International Naval Warships will be displayed along Dock.

DSEI can announce the lineup of international visiting warships as the exhibition celebrates its 20th Anniversary at DSEI 2019. For four days the outside area of ExCel resembled a great naval shipyard rather than an exhibition centre.
