because brits are the absolute most cucked european nation

I doubt they will tbh

that is the point

by the time the ship is finished, half the systems included in the design are obscelete

But they are cheap and easier to produce than larger vessels like DDGs and CGs

@Lucienne d'Anwyl Here's an extreme example of a Lithuanian-style smoked and dried (for a year and a half) pork blend, hung in a bladder for protection:

to what end though?

The fuck is that?

Burnt shit?

the navy's use is power projection

thus you don't need frigates

smoked

you need destroyers

and cruisers

frigates are the workhorses of the navy

frigates are rather useless

arguably more than destroyers

I want vee version of <:ahegao:462286952335671296> but like fully <:ahegao:462286952335671296>

not really, they don't have the gear

We have about 70 DDGs which means they can only cover so much area and we only have like 20-30 cruisers.

the modern ASW systems require massive POWER

Frigates wouldnt replace them obviously, but complement

and frigates don't have that kind of capacity

they are build for speed

thus the uselessness

ASW does not require much power...

What shit are you on?

Need for speed ____/

if you can't power your new systems, what is the point?

>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
