>They can power them

VLS renders frigates pretty much useless

>it doesn't

destroyers can't even keep up with power requirements...

say nothing for frigates

what role does a frigate fill in a navy?

typical recon

just a somewhat heavier ship than a destroyer?

not heavier

no, the opposite

lightest

Lighter @Lucienne d'Anwyl

ho lee shit https://twitter.com/guyverhofstadt/status/1171092905798320128?s=20

frigates tend to be lighter than destroyers

isnt recon what pt boats are for

lighter than a cruiser even

More of them, lighter armaments, speed @Lucienne d'Anwyl

sateillettes can spot a flea on a dogs back from space

so theyre missile bait

they're similar to destroyers in terms of role, being anti-submarine anti-air but they're smaller vessels

Wacka, they're all being unmasked tonight, aren't they?

why do u need a frigate to scout ahead with modern recon sats?

I say tend because the next gen frigate for the US Navy is going to be heavier than some types of destroyers

Creepy belgs

Be creepy af

Why are the Germanic so fucking inhuman

and the new active sonar for ASW is a power hungry.. so the utiliity is rather low compared to a destroyer with vls

mm

how good are satellites at night?

because we can only build so many destroyers and cruisers before the price gets out of hand

For tracking ships?

I think I just figured out Boris's game plan

Bad.

rather trade two frigates for a single destroyer

and cant they use sonar which is more valuable than sat images

more utility

Sonar is situation based

>You hear EVERYONE around you

Including civilian ships

especially when you have rail guns AND traditional VLS

everything in a war is situational
