Nope, get some MD500D ASWs. If space is a problem, these birds will fit anywhere.
Seriously though, its not often you see a government call the whole thing off with so much money already invested in the project. The MRH90 would seem to be a good candidate but again it to might be too big to fit on the vessels chosen for the role.
