They wanted a frigate.
They wanted a frigate quick.
They wanted a frigate to fulfill specific missions.
They wanted a frigate to fulfill specific missions with domestic HW and structural enhancements.
They ended up with a frigate that was only 15% of the original design and initial requirements.
They ended up with a monstrosity.
They lost billions of dollars.
