In his book on British Frigates and Destroyers Norman Friedman lists in great detail alternatives for the County class destroyer which were never built.
These include:
a version with Type 984 (the huge radar carried on Eagle, Hermes and Victorious) instead of the guns.
numerous double ended versions with Seaslug
versions with alternative magazines and loaders for Seaslug
a nuclear development similar to the US Bainbridge
Friedman also explains that a new frigate/destroyer to carry the
NIGS (Nest generation long range missile) was sketched and describes it in some detail as well.
There must be drawings or at least rough sketches of these designs somewhere. Perhaps someone knows more?
