I am still looking for a painting /model I saw in a 1970s Vosper Thorneycroft brochure of a Mk10 frigate with a single arm Seadart launcher forward in place of the 4.5 gun.
I assume that this was proposed to Brazil in answer to the two T42s sold to Argentina.
 
I too recall seeing this illustration many years ago, I have a feeling that it may have been in a periodical called something like Maritime Defence...there was also another publication whose name escapes me at present that I remember reading in what was then Portsmouth Central Library's Naval Collection.
As a youngster, I spent far too many hours in there....
the only 'illustration' I have found to date is the following Shipbucket drawing which is possibly very speculative.
(I'm too far from Portsmouth now for easy access, even ignoring the present 'difficulties' in getting ANYWHERE!!

Pirate Pete Thank you. I had looked in Shipbucket. But not closely enough. The illustration above is based on the proposal we saw.
