	BLACKWOOD class frigate
		The high cost of the Type 12 WHITBY design, the premiere RN frigate of the 1950s, prompted the RN to order this smaller, cheaper, and less capable class of anti-submarine frigates.
		Mounting the same ASW equipment and weaponry of the Type 12 design, these ships were highly specialized in ASW but little good for anything else other than common patrol duties.

	Blackwood class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 14, Blackwood, class were a twelve ship class of second rate anti-submarine warfare (A/S) frigates of the Royal Navy, designed and built during the increasing threat from the Soviet Union's large fleet of submarines that roamed the Atlantic Ocean.
		They were designed to be cheaper and smaller to complement the expensive Type 12 frigates and had light armament.
		The class were very specialised for the ASW role and thus had little capability in any other role, though they did perform fishery protection duties.

	INS Khukri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was sunk by a Pakistan Navy new French Daphne class submarine PNS Hangor at 2000hrs on 8 December 1971 during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, off the coast of Diu, Gujarat, India.
		This was one of 2 submarine kills since World War II (the other was the sinking of the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano by the British nuclear-powered submarine HMS Conqueror in the 1982 Falklands war), and remains India's biggest wartime casualty.
		One reason that may have prompted the decision was that the Indian Navy lacked sufficient numbers of airborne anti submarine planes, led the deployment of the two obsolete Blackwood class frigates.

		These were further developed in the immediate post-war years and called for a basic design of frigate which would share the same hull and machinery, although differ in armament and electronics according to the specialised rôle the completed frigate would undertake.
		Both classes were powered by diesel engines rather than a steam plant and it was planned to develop a similar diesel powered anti submarine variant, the Type 11.
		Ideally the new anti-submarine frigates would require a speed in the region of 30 knots and be fast enough to hunt enemy submarines in bad weather or heavy seas.

	Khukri Class Frigate
		The Type 14 Blackwood class was produced in the 1950's as a cheaper utility ASW frigate to solely hunt submarines, a task at which they excelled at the time.
		The arrival by 1961 of the British anti submarine frigates TRISHUL, TALWAR, KHUKRI, KUTHAR and KIRPAN had increased the maximum sonar detection range from the earlier few hundred metres, to a few thousand metres; the range of their anti submarine weapons had increased from a few dozen metres to a few hundred meters.
		Enroute to Bombay, at midday on 05 December 1971, KHUKRI carried out an attack on a submarine, recorded the entire attack and explosions on tape and signalled that she considered the submarine destroyed [which was in fact not the case].

	DE Hull Numbers (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Following studies of a 30-knot escort in 1959, the Navy concluded that a 27-knot type was feasible using the Bronstein class design, a 35,000 SHP DDG-2 class steam turbine and two pressure fired boilers.
		The plans for this class (SCB-199C) were the result of a complete redesign of the ocean escort type starting with the plans of the Brooke class missile escorts.
		In 1967 Gibbs and Cox recommended against using the relatively untested pressure fired boilers in such a large class, and the type was redesigned and lengthened 20 feet to accomodate conventional 1200-pound boilers.

	Type 12M ('Leander' class) Frigate
		The frigate building programme of the early 1950s had resulted in some 35 vessels of various classes ('Whitby', 'Blackwood', 'Salisbury', 'Leopard' and 'Rothesay') which gave a good sized fleet of modern escort vessels, but resulted in standardisation problems.
		These included the cost of building, designing and maintaining several classes of vessels, and the problems of ensuring such specialist vessels were available for deployment.
		A variety of sonars were fitted (Types 177 or 184, 170B, 162 and 199) as was the Type 965, 993 and 975 or 978 radars.
