		A precisão superior do Mistral em relação ao Sea Cat que ele substituiria na MB pode ser aquilatada pela diferença de peso entre as respectivas cabeça de guerra: a do Sea Cat pesa seis vezes mais, para aumentar o envelope letal e compensar a menor precisão.
		Com a desincorporação do Minas Gerais e sua substituição pelo NAe São Paulo, é provável que os dois lançadores SIMBAD sejam reaproveitados em outros navios, como os Navios de Desembarque-Doca Rio de Janeiro e Ceará (ex-Classe “Thomaston” da US Navy).
		O pacote também incluiu sete navios de contramedidas de minas Classe “Ton”, sendo que quatro foram convertidos em navios-patrulha costeiros e três em navios balizadores.
