The missile launchers, on the hangar roof, look more like Harpoon than Exocet.A couple of images of Vosper's modernised Tribal.
One has a hangar for two Lynx and no less than 16 Exocets on the hangar roof - which would probably make it one of the most heavily armed anti-ship frigates in the world, but which does nothing to aid the rather poor AA capability still reliant on Sea Cat and the old 4.5in gun.
The other has two helicopter landing spots. Assuming the hangar is the same this means perhaps three Lynx (two in the hangar and one atop) or you could fly both Lynx at the same time (why would you want to?).
They're visibly squared off, so not standard Harpoon cannisters, and both Harpoon and Exocet have quad launchers nowadays.The missile launchers, on the hangar roof, look more like Harpoon than Exocet.
They may do nowadays; however, these images date from 1980.They're visibly squared off, so not standard Harpoon cannisters, and both Harpoon and Exocet have quad launchers nowadays.
