frigate

The Norwegian Navy seems to be circling in on a few options for their new multirole frigates to replace the Nansen class. View: https://twitter.com/JUitdeketting/status/1814370088583086517?t=vNTJSQAK8fIzGqBC2yZnkw&s=19

I noticed that Heemskerck-class frigates have two 2D radars: LW-08 and DA-05/08. So this type of frigates don't need a dedicated height-finding radar or a 3D radar? How do they get the altitude of engaging targets?

Perhaps the most ambitious NATO programme of the 1980s was an attempt to design a common escort ship platform for NATO navies: NATO Frigate 90. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/nfr-90-and-other-pre-horizon-aaw-projects.923/ The project foundered as it became too expensive and failed to...

My working hypothesis is that the first two letters define the numbering series, and subsequent ones modify the first two. This is broken by DDGs and FFGs not falling into the DD and FF sequences, but otherwise it holds up reasonably well. Within submarines, there were the short-lived SC, SF...

The Royal Navy began the 1960s with two excellent classes of destroyer (County DLG).and frigate (Type 12 Leander) on order. In 1966 the replacement of these ships with the T42 and T22 was set in hand.. In addition the T21 gp frigate was ordered to replace other frigate classes. So not a lot of...

Wiki has quite a good summary of the abortive attempt in the 1980s to design a common escort ship for NATO navies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFR-90 The thread about the Kidds for the RN reminded me of this programme. It ought to have been possible to design a ship flexible enough to...

The RNZN has stated they will replace their two Anzac Frigates by the mid 2030s. See page 34 of attached. What do you think are the three most likely designs to be procured and how many? I believe by the 2030s, the deteriorating security situation with China in the Indo-Pacific will incentivize...

This thread was made for the Admiral Grigorovich class frigate since there isn't really one dedicated to it. Now for the main reason I made this, Is there any credible images/specs of this frigate class? I'm specifically looking for pictures of the Admiral Essen, but any is fine.

Hi! Here is an unbuilt early design of Type 054 frigate. Using 3K95 Klinok short range surface to air missile.

ABC News: "Hunter class frigates will be built by BAE in Australia — but what can the warships do and why do we need them?" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-29/hunter-frigate-build-bae-what-you-need-to-know/9923912

http://www.defense-guide.com/navy/military-products-and-services/mekoae-csl Is there any more information about this ship around? I haven't been able to find to much.

I found a report and some artwork of the Team 1992 of the Naval Postgraduate School - Total Ship Systems Engineering on how an affordable future frigate for the US Navy might look like. They named the ship the Regional Deterence Ship (RDS). Web link to a paper written by Team 1992 of the Naval...

The Brazilian "Niteroi" class frigates started life as the Vosper Thorneycroft Mark 10 design in the late 1960s. Many years ago I was looking at a Vosper brochure and it contained a small artwork of a version of this ship armed with Seadart instead of the forward 4.5" gun. I have never been able...
