Hi. I'm looking for information on the SC-21 COEA studies, particularly the Battle Force Combatant (BFC). I did some digging around on the web, and it was supposed to replace all the Knox and Perry-class frigates, and according to an FAS page, this meant an estimated 104 of them would be built...

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.

These are all the preliminary design studies I know of which eventually led to the USS Long Beach Nuclear Powered Guided Missile Cruiser. They are from Friedman't US Crusiers books but even the data in this book was not complete as evident by the missing numbering and lettering variants.
Here is...

On quick check it seems we don't have a thread on Sea Slug and it's development.
Often people mention a inline boosted option instead of the wrap around boosters.
Yet I seem to recall that there were worries over rocket gases causing problems with the beam rider guidance.
Would be nice to...

ABC News: "Hunter class frigates will be built by BAE in Australia — but what can the warships do and why do we need them?"

I've searched on the net but did not found any info on these series of designs and the forum the picture hosted on was archived long ago, and google could not find it (Luckily I've saved the image and could reverse search for it)
Maybe people here know more about these proposals?
Also I've...

This is supposedly a joint Japan/US project using the Independence class as a starting point, although it seems to me to have inherited some features from at least one MSDF related project of the late '80s/early 90s. First of class to enter service in 2018, which would suggest that it's to be...
