Change SSM to Exocet?
Its OEM doesn't even call it a FrigateThis is like the first real frigate since the Speijk.
No PSP no party
Nah, from now onwards.No PSP no party
The contract value is big, we can't afford that just by reallocation of PSP like PPA.FREMM still in limbo
Should follow US approach, same kind for each type. Destroyer (AB), Cruiser (Tico), Frigate (OHP -> Constellation).There's quite a criticism on how the Navy will end up with multiple platforms that's not compatible with each other. On the other hand, this is how a big country should arm itself, especially it's navy
I prefer main large surface combatants to be based on PPA now (no FREMM) followed by small combatants from the OPV 90 designShould follow US approach, same kind for each type. Destroyer (AB), Cruiser (Tico), Frigate (OHP -> Constellation).

Still need to get those Fremm

I don't think it's bow was made to accomodate a hull mounted sonar. TAS and VDS will do a better work at the open seas.ship that size could b
towed sonar must be deployed 1st and can be used on certain speed if you dont want the blade interfering the towed sonar capabilities. So thats why both Ficantieri and ALRI are aiming for the FREMM ASW deal.They could add towed sonar, and ship that size could be modified to include hull sonar.
Or even better, all future large surface ships to be based on AH140
